How I am going to clear all my debts


Full breakdown of my debt
my credit score is poor however I have no ccjs defaults, but do have about 8 missed payments for nationwide 4 for each loan
This month I’m gona get overtime pay too so should have over a 1000 spare for debts
Next month I get 946, after 500 on shares at work (which I have about 5000 now locked for 3 years, 100 on pension)
After my expenses(which include Monthley payments to debt) I have about 400-500spare a month for debt
Nationwide – 2 personal loans
3863
3919
700 arrears (now 2000 arrears as they internally added on during payment hoilday)
End of payment hoilday should I let them rewrite the loan and just pay 200 or less a month get arrears transferd and use the money to clear other debts, however old debt would show as settled.
At least then only have one debt to worry about
As I already have arrears I don’t think settled or rewritten would make a huge diffence or would it?
Showing as settled is that the same as showing as full and final settlement on credit file?
Aa credit card 1500 I pay 50 a month
Likely loans 1129
Will pay 50 a month as payment hoidlays finished
University 1700, well over 6 years.
Paying 10 a months
Will make them a offer of 1k end of year for full and final settlement
700 – overpaid tax credits – jobcentre pay 20 a month will make extra
10000 university student debt that will never get paid off u less I get a huge pay rise.

Why is your income so low? Do you work part time or less than 37.5 hours a week?
Depending on your answer I would suggest either finding a better paid job (extremely difficult especially now with CV) or try and find another way to increase your income. Again this will be difficult. But when things get back to normal your aim should be to increase your income.
It may mean working 30-40 hours a month more in your current job or getting a second job.
This will not only help in regards to having more money but will also mean your busier and less opportunity to splurge on a random saturday night with friends or whatever.

Retireby40 Thanks for your help so far.
The reason I’m in debt is nationwide is my brothers debt.
and friend owes me 6k after manipulating me over 1 year for money and harrsing me but in a friendly way.
What seems easy now is I withdraw my savings and use it on my debt, reason I haven’t done this as I won’t be able to join shares until next year, and once you break savings very hard to resave
finally I’m clearing my debts anyway just slower, and in just over 2 years I will have a nice lump sum and be debt free fro over a year
wheres if I use my savings now I will have a small lump sum but still be debt free1 -

Yes I work for one of the big banks.
shares are garunteed and less then public, to buy.
If shares go down the least you will get is all your money back most likely will go up in 3 years.
there won’t be tax on them
yes you can cash them anytime, but obvious lose out.0 -
So if you cash them before 3 years then would you pay tax on them?In my work I can cash them out straight away but pay tax. I have to wait 5 years for them to be tax free, but the money I buy them with are paid pre taxDebt free. March 2020
