    That is a large amount of debt and not having it would be better than having it.  I you want anything more meaningful than that you are going to have to provide much more information.

    Couldnt be bothered taking 10 mins to do an SOA i suspect. The laziest always fall at the first hurdle. It why they are in debt.

    I have to say that I think both the posts above are a bit harsh. Do we know that she hasn't been back? Or do we merely know that she hasn't posted a second time? Yes her original post lacked detail, but when you are deeply in debt it is easy to become overwhelmed to the point where you stop thinking clearly (trust me - been there, done that). She may have posted here in a moment of panic hoping for some helpful advice. MAYBE she has returned, seen the two posts above, and decided that no-one is going to help her so why bother to post further.

    Perhaps her partner took up the baton: My Partner is Unemployed with £20k Debt.

    I did see that - but if she has never visited the site, how did she make the original post?
