  • Welcome to the board! It would help if you posted a SOA (statement of affairs) listing your outgoings and income. That way people can make suggestions on what you can change and where you can get better deals. It is like bearing all but generally we are a positive bunch and can offer support and suggestions.
    Now debtfree except for the mortgage!

    Yep we are like the Koala Brothers 'we're here to help'! If you don't interact with children, you may not understand the reference, but I hope you understand the sentiment

    are you managing rpayments, on a DMP or considering your options at this stage?

    like sweetmoneysaver vbmenu_register("postmenu_10017487", true); said if you post a SOA, im sure lots more help and encouragment will be forthcoming
  • am managing to pay off what i can a month wot they ask for and a bit more but doesnt seem to make much of a hole in it whats a dmp? sorry for being thick all very new
  • Don't think of yourself as thick ... post a SOA and we can see where we can help. Honestly we are a friendly bunch!
    Now debtfree except for the mortgage!
  • now i know i sound daft how do i do that??
  • Just list all your major outgoings such as rent/mortgage, insurances, food, tracel expenses, card card debt etc, etc. Then list any incoming funds including any benefits if you get them. I'll find an example list for you in a minute.
