Mrs Hide My Head in the Sand

Well Hello There 
After many many years of hiding my head in the sand, ignoring letters, phone calls and just not getting through to the end of the month I have decided to take some action. From looking at my credit report I am around £21,000 in debt :eek:and some of them I have no idea who to contact so I have started with the ones who have been contacting me. I am on quite a low salary and my partner knows nothing about it and I just can't tell him he, he suffers with depression so think it would tip him over the edge!
However I have agreed affordable payments and am hoping it will help to clear the debt slowly. I have already noticed that the phone has stopped ringing and there is no post. I will keep you updated as to how I am getting along.
P.S. I also got a refund from QQ which cleared off the outstanding balance of their loan and a payment of £2,191 so I am going to use some of that to clear bills and put it towards buying my lease car in Jan.
Looking forward to getting to know you all :beer:

Well done. Facing up to the situation is often the hardest part. Good luck with it all.If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them
