Thank you to you all

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has has offered advice or just words of encouragement over the past 3 months.

I received confirmation that my DRO has been accepted this morning. I thought I would feel much happier than i do, but i feel a bit ashamed if i'm honest now it's all sorted. It's definitely something i never want to go through again so that's a lesson learnt.

I would have been even more of a nervous wreck if i couldn't have come on here and ask probably stupid questions! So again, thank you so much. It really does make a difference :)

  • Pleased that it's all gone through. Be kind to yourself - emotions are a strange thing at times. I became debt free yesterday. I thought I'd feel on top of the world but I actually cried for a bit and feel a bit lost with what to do next.
  • I thought i'd feel over the moon! And don't get me wrong i'm hugely relieved, but yeah... I feel a bit stupid it got to this point too.

    Congratulations on becoming "debtfree"!! :)

    Hey,
    What your doing is a legally recognised way to settle your outstanding debt.

    You should not feel ashamed, everyone makes mistakes in life, those who say they don't, are lying !!!!
    It will be a Hugh relief to you, I know it was for me, the key point is to never put yourself in that position again.

    I hope all goes well for you, and in 12 months you can start afresh.

    Well done for dealing with the problem, you should feel proud.
