Ok when I was a bit younger I was a bit silly with with paying bills and a credit card. Ive decided now im qualified as an electrician to get my bills on track. I have defaults on 5 accounts, 3 are open and 2 are closed. I have a total sum to pay of £1300.
What would you say would be the best way to start clearing these debts? I cant afford to pay this outright, but maybe £100 a month would be ok.
Regards

pay the min payment on all except the one with the highest APR,when thats paid off repeat until all paid off,after youve paid them all off put the £100 a month into a credit union account where if you need to you can borrow more cheaply,at the same time get a credit repair card use it and pay it off 100% each month0

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like a good plan.
I've just signed up for another credit report agency which has a few extra lenders on there now taking my total upto 2k. Will this be the case for more credit report agencies.

cra arent what matter to be honest and i certainly wouldnt pay for one,just pay off your debt then concentrate on rebuilding your credit profile by making payments on time etc0
