    Maybe you need to speak to a debt charity.

    You were given advice earlier this year and a link to fill in an soa.

    considering going in branch though for a personal touch
    That really is quite funny.

    But I suppose they can tell you to do one really pleasantly.
  • Thanks for advice. I’ll take a look at debt free wannabe
  • It may be worth trying your local credit union as they may take a broader view than a "computer says no" bank. There are some articles somewhere on MSE about them and how to find one.

    Ccj for Lloyds overdraft of £4.2k from a year ago, I buried my head in the sand but am now making monthly repayments. A loan from amigo of 6k paidnoff monthly, two old orange debts from 4 years ago being paid monthly - no missed payments on any. And a small loan of £600 from die lamps being paid fortnightly - no missed payments.

    Income £1900 p/m with outgoings of £800 inc repayments.

    No chance. Save your energy and time and don't even bother. Literally only loan sharks available, not even Amigo Loans as you already have one with those. I hate to think how much you'll be repaying in total on the Amigo Loan but I expect it'll be north of £12,000.

    TBH I doubt a Credit Union is the answer here. The OP needs to pay down their debt. They have enough disposible income according to a post in the thread to make a sizeable dent in their debts every month.
