    Hi OP,

    No there isn't, this is the problem with questionable posts of this nature, they give incorrect advice to people.

    If your lenders are still adding interest, you need to write and complain to them, quote the lending code which says people in financial difficulty should be treated fairly.

    Keep complaining until they suspend it.

    There are no miracle solutions here.

    £33 per month? That would be impossible. Anyone can see that.


    So for the benefit of others who are in debt, please explain what you paid?


    Who did you owe, how much did the debt come to, which creditors were involved (And was it defaulted debt etc) and how much did you pay each month?


    So far this thread may as well say "I had money stuff, money stuff gone now, bye" in how little it actually says. It's bizarre.

    In debt and looking for help? Look here for the MSE Debt Help Guide.
    Also, If you need any free and impartial debt advice, the National Debtline, Stepchange, and the CAB can help.
