    Have you checked to see if you're entitled to any benefits? If in doubt post on the benefits board and the members will guide you.

    Also do post on the debt free board, they are a great help and offer wonderful support.
    Yes, though I only found out about them this month so I do not get any payments until 20th which is after all my bills need paying unfortunately. I am only entitled to Universal Credit.
    My council tax has also been discounted.
    Thankyou

    Ok, please post on the debt free boards, only bills you have to pay are gas, electric, water, council tax, rent / mortgage, anything else isn't a priority debt, unless you've a loan secured on your home.

    The DF boards will guide you through everything.

    The old style boards will help you with food ideas.

    Both will point you in the direction of getting hold of food.

    You can't go through this alone and members will pass on so much information and knowledge. For the sake of your sanity and stress levels please take that extra baby step.


    Ok, I'm not sure what I can say on the DF board, I mean I'm just really concerned about the amounts left on these cards that the 0% will not cover and that I will be paying the interest, and it never going down. This is my main worry.

    I just cant see how I can do the statement of affairs- as I am self employed (when allowed to work) and my income is always different depending on the work I get. I do know my outgoings.
    I have applied for the fluid card this morning which was approved, I can do the BT once the card arrives.
    Thankyou for your advice and support.
