Clearing debts

Posts: 29 Forumite
I have debts totalling £18k. It is a start to say it and another to be determined to clear them.
Overdraft £3k
Barclaycard 8k
MBNA 7k
I gamble. Thats the reason I am in debt.I am 70 in 4 weeks.
I am alone so I gamble on bingo sites for the company and of course I will win wont I. Haha if i win I just carry on playing and then lose it all.
9th January.
Travelling - cut down car use by using free bus pass to local town or if not cold/wet walk. 30 min walk down hill - more time to walk uphill on way back!
Check bank balance daily to keep track of direct debits etc as it costs £12 for declined DDs.
Have cut electric/gas payments by £18 per month by changing suppliers and careful usage and water by 8 per month with careful use.

Hi Jassers
I don't want to judge but I fear only one person wins from gambling and that is the owner of the gambling site!
Well done on 'fessing up and good luck for tackling those debts.Credit Card debt £10247.17 1/1/20200
