in Loans
In a mess at the moment. The overdraft has been maxed out and I know owe the bank about £1,500 thanks to a £800 energy bill, which is £500 over the overdraft. I've had a credit card in the past but paid it off and got rid of it, and never taken out a loan before or. The bank now say they will stop all direct debit payments at the end of the month and charge me £150 when the wages go in until the overdraft has been paid off. I have tried to apply for a £2,000 Zopa loan but I've been rejected. I think the fact the house I live has such a bad history thanks to previous owners and the amount of debt collection battles we've had to fought with unknown people still sending their debts here. I don't know what to do/who to lend with.

Try posting a full SOE (statement of affairs) over at the Debt Free Wannabee board.
They are very good at suggesting ways to cut your monthly outgoings down to an affordable level.0 -
It isn't the address which is in a mess, it is your bank account.
Credit files are about people, not doors and windows.
You have maxed out your overdraft and owe a lot more besides, that is why you are unable to get a loan.
You can still lend with zopa though but you're better off waiting until you have some spare cash..0
