  • A little update - BOS and Next have written off my debts, which is a start.
    Been a very bad few weeks, mental illness wise with crisis team helping.
    Waiting to hear back from last 3 creditors but they are the biggest so unsure if they will but who knows.
  • It’s a great start!!! Good luck with the rest and please take care of yourself 
    TOTAL DEBT JUNE 2019: £38,233.87 Aiming debt free mid 2023. All bad debt written off / paid by January 2023. No missed payments in 2023. Only one active credit card to pay off! I DID IT 🎉

    Thank you so much for all your help and support, it's a relief that they have gone, I just hope the others are as understanding 
  • The more creditors write them off the more likely are the rest to do the sams

    Just 2 more creditors now 
    I have £100 a month to make a payment if the two big ones don't agree.

    Slowly I feel like a weight is slowly being lifted, hopefully the last 2 will be sympathetic too 
  • Keep us updated and remember if they are not keep paying the token payments and try again in 6 months :)
