    Hi Stress 11 - you have come to the right place - its a similar situation to the one I am in so I know how worrying and stressful it is...... I am in know position to give you advice myself - but I will definately be taking my journey at the same time as you. Keep your chin up and good luck. For me, admitting I needed help was probably the hardest part - you have done a very brave thing :) x

    Hi and welcome

    First thing is to work out how much you owe to everyone and when the next payment is due. I'd recommend filling in the statement of affairs and posting the results up, this will show you and us exactly what position is and from that we should be able to advise you on sensible options, and whether this is something you can sort out with budgeting etc or whether you may need to consider other options such as contacting a debt advice charity and considering defaulting on your repayments.
