Hi people,
Im not sure I am posting in the right section as this is my first post, but I would appreciate some guidance, I have debts I cannot afford to pay, and the lenders wont budge,
I currently owe, £500 paypal, £6000 Bank (+£2000) Charges, £1500 Credit Card, and a few small other debts,
What I did was went over board on my chq card with my bank, to pay bills at post office to clear a load of old debts, but the problem is they were probably manageable, the bank have contacted me and said the minimum they will take for repyament is £500 a month, before they pass it to debt collectors.
I have recently moved and have not updated my address with them yet, but im quite worried im going to lose all my stuff to debt collectors, as I only have about £125 spare a month anyway.
Im not too sure about what to do.
Any advice would be helpful.
Thank you

Pubgolf:
have a look on southernscouser's sticky post on this forum and try to put as much detail of your SOA into another message.
This will bring the advice out of the woodwork.
Talk soon, well done for shouting up

Can I just ask how your £500 in debt with Paypal? Is that a credit card, or eBay problems meaning that you've got into the red?0
