marlin help

I hope someone can help me please.!

I lost my job about two years ago and fell behind with payments to a loan. !marlin Europe became involved and they put an attachment on my home and I pay £60 a month. !today I got my annual statement and it says opening balance £13998.30. closing balance. £14309.62!!!!!!!
they are charging me over £84 a Month in interest payments. !I can't afford to pay anymore and i have been paying for over a year and owe more now than when I started


what can I do no wonder I feel like just ending it all I can't see a way out!

can I reduce my payments to say £10 a month and they won't be able to take my house off me because I am struggling paying £60 and the loan isn't reducing anyway.!

so upset!

    I'm not an expert but if they have a charge over your house, reducing the payments to £10 is not a good idea. The debt will increase even faster than it is doing now. What makes you think that they won't be able to take your house?

    I would try speaking to them and explaining that you are struggling.
    :p
