Hello,
Thought I would tell you a little about me...
My debt started 2008 - went into overdraft to afford a holiday when I couldn't really afford it.
Got myself a laptop on finance, and a car. I guess trying to keep up with everyone.
Had my daughter at 21 - her dad and I split for a period but we are back and a happy family now - minus the debt!! All debt is mine from our break, and I took it out to make ends meet.
I'm 26 now...Currently around the £5,800 mark, deciding on the best way to deal with this.
Cut down a couple of bills, and have been sorting some bits to sell at carboot.
Also have made contact to try and get some charges refunded. Fingers crossed.
