Loan and best course of action
Hi,
Currently I am living off of government benefit because of disability to work due to my medical condition. Currently I am recovering and benefits in helping me to meet my day to day need.
Before my surgery I had some load (under 20,000) and I enrolled in to token plan with step change. Now I got letter from step change they cannot support the token plan as
its more than 2 years, so now either I have to declare bankruptcy or debt management plan. Since my surplus is more than 49 pound step change ask me to enroll in to debt management plan.
How can i go paying off the debt with bare minimum money that I get from benefit. What would be the right move in this case? Any suggestion is appreciated.

If you have a £49 surplus then you are not really on the bare minimum. There are threads on here where they are not paying anything towards a debt and are still sinking.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0

This is not a question for the loans board.
Try posting on debt-free wannabee and check your spelling.
A 30-year debt management plan does not sound sensible but we can go into detail over there0 -
Thank you @fatbelly I have moved the question to debt-free wannabee.0
