Working Hard

Hi all

Firstly thank you to anyone who reads this.

It seems like a good idea & will help keep me on track.

I got into trouble with the old payday loans, fell into the trap of thinking it would be ok but ended up with 4 before I knew it. I then thought 'maybe a credit card would do for emergencies' but again I maxed that out before I knew it.

Finally got the balls to wake up & sort it out & after trying to talk to the people I owed money to I had to enter Debt Management.

I ended up on a plan where i pay £80 a month & Im making small payments on my CC. Its my aim to clear my CC by the end of the year & Im hoping to have cleared the debt management in 12 months, which would be halving the amount of time they said it would take.

    Right so I have come up with a plan as I am desperate to sort this out!

    I have decided I will live on £40 a week which includes my shopping, fuel & living as I dont need to travel that far this will enable me to save as much as possible to get rid of this debt!!

    So far so good.
