I need to be debt-free! HELP

in Loans
Hello there!
My name is Michael, at a young age I got into silly debts, with payday loans, over spending on credit cards, and mobile phone contracts ETC.
My credit file is abysmal, Its VERY LOW, This obviously lowers my chances of any credit HUGELY!
But I'm turning to this forum for help, in regards to this.
Is there any companies or other types of society out there willing to lend money to consolidate debt, with a credit score like mine? if so, can you please inform me of them? its double figures on Experian, Just to give you an idea.
I have noone that can go guanrator, So it is a solo application.
My current financial situation has significantly increased over the past year, It is just a nightmare having so many outgoing payments, when i could realistically consolidate it into just one monthly out going payment (With a lower rate of APR).
I hope this is in the correct section, if not, please feel free to move it.
Thanks again

Okay dokey. You don't have a credit score, so you need to tell us what is on your credit files. What are the negatives?
What do you earn, what do you owe, what rates?0 -
Debt Consolidation rarely works.
Post a statement of affairs http://www.stoozing.com/calculator/soa.php & be brutally honest.Dwy galon, un dyhead,
Dwy dafod ond un iaith,
Dwy raff yn cydio’n ddolen,
Dau enaid ond un taith.0 -
@zx81 , Okay.
So in total, exact figures of what I owe (ON BAD DEBT/DEFAULTS) are as follows :
Safetynet Credit (Loan company) £573.41
Capital one (Credit card) £371.13
Satsuma loans (Pay day loan company ) £474.92
Kapama (Debt collector) £574.00
Total : £1993.52
I know this is not a HUGE balance, But its a nitpicking balance, to myself, and it really gets to me (No fault but my own)
RATES: I'm quite unsure of if i'm completely honest with you, But i assume they're well above 25%
Now, I Earn £1700-£1850 per month0 -
Great. So nothing to get too worked up about.
Head for the DFW boards, post an SOA and see where you can cut costs and pay it off. But you need to find out the rates so you pay them in the right order.
You won't get a consolidation loan and it's not a good idea anyway. Just clear it the old fashioned way - with your own money.0 -
Well i wish i knew about these SOA calculators a long time ago! within 6 months i could be BAD DEBT free! Amazing
