Our debt diary

Well here we still are.

After bf losing his sight everything took its toll and now he has the debt men knocking at the door again , which has forced bf back to work even though he still cannot see out of his eye and is awaiting his pre op check. (FYI all the below debt is his!)

Anyway we have figured out that in total here is how our debt stands

HSBC - £3500
Morgan and Stanley - £4500
Henderson booth and snell - £5000
Lloyds - £1,129

nearly £14,129

Now he is back in full time work, i work part time, and we recieve tax credits im hoping to get our money back in control and get it paid off.

He will be in touch with the banks this month hopefully on his pay day to give them all their money and i can pay a littl ebit extra off everything (i am paying the Henderson one for him - £30 a month) but he pays the others.

Im hopign to stick about and learn some useful tips for clearing the debts a bit quicker now though so we can actually start to enjoy things rather than worrying when the next threatening letter is gonna turn up
Time to find me again
