I can't get through on the phone it is permanently busy and every time I call I get charged to listen to a woman telling me all their lines are busy

02 are doing free sims at the moment. top up with £15 and get 500 txts free. Well done on having no bank charges. Its better than most.

I would phone national debtline or payplan or ccs - they will help. That would be much better than going through the other company who will charge..

Have you applied for Working Tax Credits. I have just put your figures through the calculator on https://www.entitledto.com and it said you were entitled but not knowing your exact circumstances it would be hard to be definite

To the CCCS? They have a freephone number.

Try cccs. I had a friend who used CAB but it took ages to get anything done because she couldn't get appointments. Also suggest council tax ? if you get housing benefit wouldn't that make you elegible for CT benefit if on £88 per week. Maybe also worth trying benefit eligibilty, can't remember name but takes 5 mins to do online. Im sure somebody can pass it on. Good luck and keep us posted.

Sorry just remembered. There were some free simms on Rpoints freebies board.

Hi there.

Your first place for help should be Citizens Advice Bureau. They will speak to you about your position and then refer you to someone who can give you the help you need. Do it through them and it looks better to your creditors as well, they know you are making an effort then

sorry I guess your tax credits is working tax credit and child tax credit.
