Want to try and get out of debt before re entering work.

This is going be a hard work but I set myself a challenge to be out of debt my 2016. I am a single parent with 2 kids and have silly debts like catalogues and a dongle contract.

I have worked before having my children before I get daggers thrown at me.

tonight I'm going to sit there and list my debts work put how much I actually owe.

Tomorrow I will start to write to the companies and ask tem
To accept minimum amounts.

proud to be dealing with my debts onwoods and upwards.

  • It's scary when it's all written down but much easier to deal with when you have a plan! (and lists, make lots of lists!)

    Good Luck :)

    Before you do that, post a statement of affairs here. You need to find the best strategy before you leap in and start writing letters. People here will help if you give them the information
