I'm going in the opposite direction... DH is on ssp so we are claiming u credit -we applied for and got an advance of 1000 so our debts increased. Not sure we are entitled to that much. Will find out next week but it stopped me using an overdraft at some ridiculous rate of interest. Agreed to pay it back over two years. Hopefully will pay it off by end of this year when we are straight again. My other debts are still in limbo. Tesco has been taken over by Barclays? Barclaycard? All my payments were sent back on my standing order/didn't work on the app so I gave up and haven't paid anything now for six months. Assuming they will write to me at some point. Still paying DH debts so suppose that's something 😂Jan 18 Joint debts 35,213
