Dealing with my debts!

Hi

I'm new on the board although I have lurked for a while!

I started having debt problems 5 years ago when I became self-employed. I really struggled to keep up with payments due to the uncertain nature of my income and ended up over 50k in debt. I've now been with CCCS for 4 years and, despite a period of illness, have managed to clear nearly 20k and am looking to speed it up over the next few years!

Looking forward to chatting with you!
