    ...I take it you've also tried approaching Barclays and asking to add to the value of the existing loan?

    Has she made all the payments on all the outstanding debts?
  • Just thought id let you know my husband built up 50000 of debt before i found out! So at least its not too bad

    He let it get out of control he kept borrowing to consolidate debt because he did not know there were other options

    eventually i found the hidden evidence and we went to the cccs who are very helpful. Interest is frozen and we pay a monthly amount we can just about afford.

    It may not be that drastic for you folks but if you do consolidate the debt you have to have the will power not keep sepending more than you should (like we did!)
