Debt free - Is it a state of mind? a state of the Universe? or a state of the bank account?

Hi~You wouldent declare it until/if yoour OH moves in.
Until he moves in there is nothing to declare IYSWIM?
So dont worry you are not doing anything wrong.
I too agree that you should work if you want to.
How are your debts looking at the mo?
He wouldnt movin in here, and tbh after last time I was in arelationship Id prefer to live on my own for aslong as possible, plus like I say he works over 300 mies away so is looking to get a place down where he works becuse hes there 5 out of 7 days. So I doubt he'd actually ever move in unless I moved down there (which will definatly not be on the cards for a long time seeing as we havent even been a couple for 24 hours)
Im still going to look for work, Im not being told what I can and cant do again, I dont want to seem paranoid/or come across like hes awful. Im just more worried/scared of being in a situation like that again ... which is why I've avoided it being anything more than friends for all this time0 -
Forgot to say my only debt is now my friend £250. I also have a few on my credit report from when I first turned 18 but I have no idea how I go about finding out where they were passed to, which is what I need to do next. But all the ones I was concerned about and recent are clear other than my friend.
Its going to be alot harder and longer clearing the ones from when I was 18 becuase they are high amounts and alot of them, thinking back I was so stupid and have nothing to show for any of it.0 -

At least another 2 years, I got them just after turning 18 but didnt default straight away. So probably more 3 years x but on the info bit on credit expert it just gives me the original contact details and when I phoned 2 of them they said they had no record of any debt/account :cool:0 -

Best advice I can give you then it to make no further contact with them and then they will just fall off your file.I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.
