The Secret Diaries of a Debtor

Hi there everyone I thought I would make a thread which everyone can write down what debt problems they have had and share their stories of how they became debt free or beginning to become debt free.

My debts started with a payday loan lender and I took out £250 so I could pay a bill; I was working part time and I thought they I would be fine. However I quickly became aware that it wouldn't be that easy to pay back as I thought.

Then I thought I would get a payday loan out again but for £450 so I could pay the bill off. You can now see where it began, I had 3 credit cards and they were maxed out.

I was slowly getting closer to breaking down and was already going through depression.

Then out of know where I found out about the CCCS, they set up my debt management plans and sorted my file out for me straight away.

I am now so close to paying my debts off and I am so happy!

Down from over £9000 to now only £1500, 2 months to go now!

What has been your story?

I have read so many already!

Please share your story...:rotfl:
