if you've got to do that, then those are probably the 2 best people to do it with. Just call them up and tell them, they are generally understanding.

At least you won't incur any penalty charges from the bank, sp. Hopefully you will be able to pay BT soon.
Have you looked at 'downgrading' your SKY contract - or even 'Freeview' till things get better?I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

Would you believe that I've just sent a message to Martin telling him my idea that he should start a whole channel dedicated to MSE - could you image a whole day of money saving! What a thought....!0 -
Great idea! I wonder what kind of ads it would be... assuming it was commercial telly.
Tesco value only? Lidls? - can't think of that many ads that are very MSE
no purple loans, no consolidations, no injury lawyers for you (personal bug bear of mine!)
Good on you Skint monkey! Love to know what reply you get....
We could have some soap operas... IA's debt diary on film, Hypno's send your kids skiing challenge oh the list is endless!I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0
