Cpa?

If I use a month and half's wages, I can wipe our my debt completely. However, I know this would be a dicey thing to do even though I know I would be supported through this time.

As I went to pay off one of my loans, I read about the CPA. I'm not sure how this works. Would it be the best thing to cancel or shall I just go skint for a month?

    CPA? Credit Protection Agency?

    Why are you, who appear to have had financial debt experiences, advertising the services of a firm that exists to check the creditworthiness of people for its members to loan money to? Do you plan to loan others money?

    The way to look after your finances is to spend no more than you can afford. There are no silver bullets.

    Unless of course you meant something else

    I didn't mean the people you meant, so calm down.

    I might have got it wrong. But on here too, they discuss where you can cancel the payments to the loan companies. That's what I meant.
