  • Good to know that you are sorting the things out to get out of this debt and you have already succeed. There is always a way to get out of a problem. Proper planning can make the thing easy for us.

    can you tell me your lender names please
    if its minicredit their are used to be bad company now but their dont do anything
    so my advice is keep it up well done. If the calls and others do a letter to them saying "haressment"


    Each company had there own way of trying to get back money due to them but i managed to make it clear i was in control of how much and when each company would get paid. The first six weeks was hell and i kept sending emails about harassment and telephone calls. They soon stopped and now i'm in full control.:j
  • Thankyou very much

    Thanks Fritts

    I have found that having a spread sheet which i change every month
    has helped me get on track and that the min my wages are available i make the payments.
    i have paid back a total of £2783.38 in four months when i think what i could have done with the extra money:mad:
  • Well done on clearing your balance on your cc. It makes you feel good when the light gets bigger at the end of the tunnel
  • Well its been a while since i have had an update on my situation. Since i started in October i had 11 different payday loans i have stuck to my payment plans and i now have cleared 6 which leaves 5 to go and these will be cleared by July at the latest.

    I have managed to also get a discount on 2 of them as i have shown that i have stuck to my agreements. But please beware that when you clear them off they try and catch you again to take out more loans. I have resisted there offer and i cant spend what i don't have i have learned a valuable lesson. I cant wait to see my pay packet in a few months and think that i can treat myself to something nice because i have worked hard for it and not digging myself out of a hole which i stupidly dug myself :)

    Anyone going through the same situation you can do it keep it up :j

    Well done and keep it up... got my final payment on April Fools Day to finally clear all my credit card debt. Can't wait - I keep counting down the days!!! Well the fool's no longer me :)
    LBM July 2011 - C/A -£2120 / CC1 £1000 / CC2 £1400 / Loan £3480 = Total debt £8000 :eek:

    April 2014 - C/A £0 / CC1 £0 / CC2 £0 / Loan £0 = Total debt £0 :D

  • Hi there its great that u have been able to sort out your debts!

    You said something about template letters i was wondering if you could put something on to start the ball rolling with these companies

    My partner has lost his job and is now unable to pay anything to these companies near what he owes them. He wants to offer a repayment plan and have interest frozen

    Thanks for ur help.
