Terrified, opinions are like a**eholes...everybody's got one!
...Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0 -

Mores the pity. If debtors were sent to jail then perhaps people would think twice before getting themselves into such stupid debt problems through sheer greed & stupidity.
And perhaps the rest of us wouldn't have to pay higher taxes and interest rates to bail them out.
Controversial i know but thats my opinion and i'll bet i'm not alone.HPC methinks.......:rolleyes:

Wow. Good job I'm not having an 'easily offended' day :rolleyes: Seriously, I know that some people will have that opinion. But unless they know my full story, they can't judge and therefore I'm not affected by their input. Everyone has their reasons for debt - and it's not as black and white as greed or stupidity. I know that first hand now.
Thanks for the continuing messages of support. I'm planning to spend Saturday adding up what I owe and trying to figure out where it went / where it went wrong. Then ... assuming I have the energy left in me ... I'll pick up the phone.0 -
Sorry Terrified - but I'd like to insist you make that 'phonecall now.
All the workings out and What's/Why's/Wherefore's are distractions and putting off real help from people who are very experienced at doing this work.
Please don't put it off any longer.
There is no face-saving required on your part, nor any need for justification at this stage.
You've made that first step into the ether by coming on here.
Now it's time for the first step into the Real World of Solutions.
This was the first advice you had and I was delighted that rog2 had kindly crossed to give you his very sound, TRIED, PROVEN AND TESTED ADVICE.
THERE IS NO NEED FOR YOU TO HAVE MORE MATERIAL FOR ANYBODY.
JUST RING, NOW, PLEASE!

Spot on Terrified77!
Everyone has their own, sometimes very personal, reasons for being in this situation but the fact that they've come here looking for advice, help, reasurance etc shows that they want to get it sorted out and they should be supported not judged!
I know I wouldn't have got this far without the very helpful people on this website!:hello:Save a little money each month and at the end of the year you’ll be surprised at how little you have.An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind0 -
