Chill, deep breaths and forget all about it until 8am tomorrow.
Nothing you can do about it now so try not to worry.
When you give them a call just explain everything. Even if it works out that you have only a few pounds to offer as repayment that is better than nothing0 -

Have YOU read all of this thread BTW?
I followed it with "good night" as katy721 saidChill, deep breaths and forget all about it until 8am tomorrow.

But now you've rattled me cage! I'm so sensitive
No offence meant katy721 :beer:.0 -
Don't worry, I take no offence as I know times like this are stressful!
I will say this though...
Don't fall in to the trap I have done on so many occasions and convince yourself that some miracle will come along and sort this out. It won't. It will be a long hard slog, and I am only just realising this myself.Rochdale_Guy wrote: »Fair point, but I don't want to take 20 years paying this back... good night!
You may not WANT to take 20 years to pay this back, but you may have to suck it up and accept the fact that you may HAVE to take 20 years to pay it back.
Do remember though, that during those 20 years you can work at upping your income, and therefore reduce the 20 years total.
Not being harsh, just trying to say that once you start accepting what is going to happen it makes it a whole lot easier to tackle the problems.
This is something you CAN control, you just may not like the way it has to be done.
Chin up, it could be worse (or so they say!)0 -

Very good point. I keep forgetting that it takes a while to set up any DMP, and if I cancel all the credit card and car loan direct debits, that's what?, £648 not spent on them a month for February and March?
Thank you Standingtall :j.0 -
