    Oh really? She is not planning on returning to work in the near future, as she is on her own and now has two children under the age of 2....so there is really not much she can do apart from ring one of those co's?

    So she is on benefits, rather than being on maternity leave?

    She needs to contact one or more of the debt charities who can advise her and negiotiate with her creditors

    See the list here

    Sooner rather than later.
