    natalie - I have tried and tried to point you in the direction of CAPUK, but you just don't seem to want to go there. You are also being given the same good ideas repeatedly e.g.Library, as above.

    Of course it's your choice and I am not being an advocate for them, against you or your choice of another way to deal with all that is wrong atm. However, you are still just lurching from one scraping through moment to another.

    Of course your sleep and health are being affected - how can it be otherwise?
    The point is, they needn't be!

    Why won't you simply take CAPUK's expert help which is waiting there, non-judgmental, permanent, bringing immediate relief and certainty to you and your son?
    I asked if your son was a KOP kid, or would like to be, in order to offer you a membership+tour for him, redeeming some Tesco vouchers. So far, there's been no answer. I am a pensioner and I make my money work hard for me. I travel[NZ in 2 days' time for 6 wks], go often to France, live, eat, drink, dress imaginitively and well.... all on this small fixed amount of money. There are so many great ways to open up lives and minds without being crippled and depressed financially. And this in turn makes brilliant growing up memories for your young man.

    It's because I have seen CAPUK work for people, know how they do it, that I know they would be perfect for you.

    These skills will last you a lifetime, plus giving your son a priceless education in understanding and managing £pounds and £pence. This is the whole point of this website - and Martin's absolute key passion[which he backs with his own money] - of his Charity, named from this site for money education in schools and for all young people.

    This post is not unkindly meant. Rather, your attitude is puzzling me. You can turn this habitual nightmare off, turn your current situation around for good, feel safe and protected[CAPUK deal with all the debtors and creditors and Banks and bailiffs and Government agencies for you]but something is stopping you making that key call.

    So be it. I wish you both well.

    I contacted cab and step change who gave me good advice and sorted my debts with me and advised me on dwp etc
    I thought cap was the same set up so I didn't contact them
    I'm sorry if you think I ignored you over the kop kid I genuinely didn't ignore you
    I value all the advice given on here and have tryed to follow the advice that I have been given

    Natalie - just do what you can as you can.

    You have been contacting a load of people and your head must be spinning. You have made great headway.
