Finally figuring it out

Hi all

I have been flitting on and off these boards for the last 4 years, never quite sorting everything out but finally I think I have.

I have contacted national debtline and am in the process of setting up a debt relief order.

Its a big decision but with £10,000 of debt at just 22 I think I need a fresh start. I have a 2 and a half year old so wont be bringing in a big wage anytime soon to clear it.

What do you think? good idea/bad idea?
Debt at LBM: £9660.05
I run my own business and LOVE being self employed!
I am mummy To my Millie :D

    If you've been honest and it's covering all your debts ... good idea!
  • Well done for facing up to things early. You have along life ahead of you and your little one, and taking that stress away from you is incredibly important for their wellbeing. I hope everything works out for you :)
