    Make an appointment or ring one of the debt charities ASAP You will find their number on fermi or tigerfeets signiture. Do it sooner rather than later please! They are the best to advise you then we can all help with the less "legal advice". Goodluck you have taken a step in saying you are in trouble that is often the worst step for many.Dalip

    Hi and welcome to the board.

    The first thing you need to do is seek professional help. Contact one of the debt charities in my signature and go through your situation with them. They will talk you through all your options.

    If they advise bankruptcy then we can help and support you through the process.

    EDIT: Also check out Gamcare to help you with your gambling problems.

    Hey, no probs, I think I owe my sanity to these guys here helping me over the last few weeks (went bankrupt 2 weeks ago), least I can do is let you know someone is out here.

    Hmm I know that feeling very well....I was terrified of telling my partner & to be honest when I finally plucked up the courage i'm glad I did she was more happy that i'd started to take steps to try & sort the mess i'd got myself into...daft thing? she had an idea of how bad things were anyhow...stupid male pride asking for help!

    Aww honey, you must be under tremendous pressure dealing with this on your own. I hope you get some answers here, coz I know you will get support and not be on your own now.

    You never know she might surprise you. Show her you are taking steps to sort out your problems with the appointment to CCCS and see what Gamcare can do for you as well.
