Thank You All...

Hi,

After a good while lurking, this is my first post... I just want to say one thing to you all - Thank you.

I felt so alone with my debts until I discovered this place. My head is now out of the sand - I've spoken with CCCS, been advised to go BR and I'm now in the process of form filling.

Keep up the good work and wish me luck..

    you deserve a pat on the back for getting so far...takes some strength to admit your debt problems then seek help

    Well done for taking these steps cloverleaf!!

    Just a quick thought (you may have done this already though) have you asked your court how they "book" dates? some do it on a walk in and wait, some book a couple of days in advance and some you might have to wait a few weeks?
    It'd be a shame to get it all sorted, forms, payment etc then have to wait ages to actually do it!

    No need to be...easier said than done I know but to be honest the build up to it all then the court day once its all done you'll wonder what the fuss was about
