How I am going to clear all my debts

Options

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.

    I work full time my income is low  because 100 pension and 500 work shares over 2 years should have about 20k save up

    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 free

    What are these work shares you buy for £500 a month. Can you cash them in straight away, tax free, or do you have to wait 5 years? 
    Do the company give you extra shares if you buy £500 a month. 
    I have never really heard of anyone spending so much of their income on work shares. 
    Is it a listed company?

    What happens to your shares if the company go into liquidation? How do you know the share price of the company will go up?  What happens if they go down.

    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.

    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 tax
