    signnn - head over to the debt free board - i think you need help more than a loan or temporary fix

    well its been months and I'm still stuck in the pay day loan trap, I'm paying the loan each month and having to take another out. I didn't take a loan from my friend but I'm still in massive debt and now suffering with depression, sleepless nights and I'm at risk of losing my job. Any clues? I've read some of the debt free stuff, but I already budget to death. I'm really struggling here and I'm out of options.

    Did you contact cccs or payplan as advised above?

    No good getting depressed, it won't go away, take it by the horns, with help if necessary and find out when it will all be over. You CAN get out if this without borrowing more, you just need help to identify it.

    My advise is...

    Walk away. Any and all debt you have just stop paying. Open a basic account with lloyds or Barclays or the CO-OP get your wages paid into that account and walk.

    After 6 years the debts will all be gone you'll be a free man.

    Time to man up and walk away. If you've resorted to payday loans your credit rating is going to be shagged away.

    See this ^^

    You need advice and help from people you can talk with directly. They will get the ball rolling on sorting out the mess, I promise. I've been there and got through it. Call them, and you'll get through it, too.

    Good luck.

    Beautifully illiterate non-advice gibberish.

    Is that an oxymoron?

    No, it's just advice from a moron. "Man up and walk away!" What a load of gibberish.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    and his other options are to.... Be a slave to his debts for decades to come, his credit file is going to be shafted anyway.

    He won't be able to obtain credit for years and years to come

    What's he for to loose? .... nothing!
