glad I`m not alone

Just to say hi ti you all out there.

I`m new on here.....glad I signed up, I thought I was the only one suffering severe financial difficulties.
I reckon I owe £23,000 partly due to a long term relationship breakup.Have felt really desperate at times but trying to get myself out of this mess now.
Managed to get on a self help plan wiv a lot of my creditors,also signed uo to a few online surveys, put in claims for my mis sold PPI`s.

Life ain`t that bad after all..........watch this space.

  • Hi Squeaky, no you definately aren't alone!

    Are you going to post an SOA so we can all have a look and maybe help you cut down a little more?

    Hello and welcome.

    I think it always helps to know that you are not alone and there is a place that you can come to for advice and chat to people you know will not judge you.

    I think you should post your soa and people can help you with savings and cutbacks.

    Good luck :beer:

  • Good for you squeaky1055 - when people first post on here they do feel a sense of relief and just sharing it with other people does help you sleep better. Will keep an eye out for your SOA

    Just to say, welcome to mse - sounds like you've just put in a lot of hard work - an soa will help, you know, when you're ready, for people to give you feedback. Still, you've made big strides already. How about selling any stuff you have, on ebay or amazon? The surveys can help quite a bit at first too - have a look at that separate board on how to make extra dosh.

    Good luck, and keep posting!

    Welcome to the forum.

    Sounds like you have really started to get on top of things.

    As someone else has suggested I would pop up an SOA and you will have lots of advice flooding your way.

    Good luck :D
