OK so had my light bulb moment about June 2018, I've paid my overdraft and a credit card off already :j but...
Currys £400 10.9%
CC1 £4400 4.9%
CC2 £3500 24.9%
CC3 £750 0%
LOAN £8800 0% (On a payment plan)
TOTAL £17850:eek:


I'm trying not to panic but not doing a great job to be honest!!!!
I've hovered around the MSE boards for a while but decided tonight to bite the bullet as it was, please be kind I just want to cry right now.

    Pop up your SOA and we can give fresh eyes on your outgoings and try and save you a few quid and increase your debt payments.

    First step was acknowledging you were in a sticky situation, gets easier :)
