    Isn't the knowledge that comes from experience more valuable than the knowledge that doesn't?

    Hi there

    Well done for posting, no it isn't easy to admit our debts.

    Stick a SOA up, including your income and other monthly outgoings and people will be able to offer some support and guidance.
    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    I have got help from CHRISTIANS AGAINST POVERTY and i can really recommend them. i will be debt free in 6 years and that includes a £21,000 non secured loan from my mortgage company. They are a face to face counselling service and i really found that better than just talking to faceles people on the phone

    SOA is a statement of affairs - have a quick look at Southernscouser's sticky for newcomers just above this post and you will see what we mean!

    As for shameless bump - someone is kindly "bumping" this thread back up the boards so it doesn't get ignored - sometimes the boards are so busy that new posts like yours get lost in the masses.

    Don't worry - it is a good thing - shows that others are looking out for you!

    Hi there Goldie
    A shameless bump is just a way of moving your thread to the top of the forum again - bumping your thread!

    A SOA is a statement of affairs. You can find out how to lay this out by looking at southerscousers sticky thread at the top of the forum. It is a list of all income, outgoings and debts (with apr's and min repayments).

    There are two reasons for asking for this one is that we can help you better if we know your circumstances better. Secondly if after 'talking' it through with us lot you decide to opt for a Debt Management Plan (DMP), then you would need this information listed out for when you talk to CCCS or Payplan (two FREE companies who give free impartial advice about debt and how to pay it back, other companies charge a fee so should be avoided).

    hope this clarifies
