In desperate need of advice

  • Hi - your money will only stretch so far so I suggest maybe re-prioritising your expenses.
    You obviously need to pay the car so you can afford to get to work unless you can make use of public transport, lifts, walking, cycling etc.
    Food - you need to eat. You are going to be thinking even less straight than you are now if you are not eating.
    Can you pay part of the mortgage so they can see you are trying? I'd write them a letter and explain that that is what you are doing in the short term whilst you get help and advice - even if you can only pay a bit towards the mortgage.
    I'd also try and get yourself a new basic bank account - not connected to anyone you owe money to and not one your husband would have any details of so you can get any benefits/wages put in there and aren't at risk of your husband taking it all.
    Best of Luck
