    I advise getting a Debt Relief Order to get the entire debt just written off. :)


    Very poor advice from a self admitted banking thief.
    Life isn't about the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away. Like choking....
  • There are two debts with Barclaycard - £6522 and £8000. I also have two cards with MBNA, £3000 and £8000, they are both about to default too.

    Can't really afford any repayments, after doing an income and expenditure form with both companies i was -£40
    I would do an SOA and post it up in the DFW board for best advice, support and guidance. You can ask all your creditors to freeze your accounts and put them on hold so that you can have time to seek advice. Defaults are good as I believe it means no more interest or charges. Gives you more breathing space :)
    I work within the voluntary sector, supporting vulnerable people to rebuild their lives.

    I love my job
