    So glad they did not get in.

    Pay as much off this debt as you can, even if it means you pay nothing off your credit cards and debit cards.

    You need to clear this as soon as you can and also make sure you stay on line to clear this year's Council Tax. Do you pay over 10 months or 12?
    Over 12 ,so still a couple to go.
