Hi all,
I haven't been here for a while, but just to update those of you who read my diaries, I have finally moved to Birmingham:j.

Have signed up with a number of agencies. Had somework, but not loads.

Anyway my question is this. I have a loan where I have to pay £213.40 a month:eek:! I have been paying this off regulary,even though haven' t had a full time job for a while. I have been struggling, and went to the bank today,who said that I needed £700 a month in my bank before they could reduce it. I just find this quite ironic as whe I opened the loan, I had a full time job. Now I don' t they expect me to earn just as much before they half it, and me pay longer etc. Just wondering what, if anything else I could do really:(?

Also just wondering whether am entitled to any benifit at all? I don't think I am, but no harm in asking!

Your comments would be gratefully recieved:)
