    Hi RJC73...... Welcome aboard! Any friend of Sea is a friend of ours!:cool:

    Can I ask, as no partner income, is ur partner out of work or are you a single parent? In either case, are you claiming all the benefits you are entitled to? Check entitledto.co.uk
    And if single parent, do you recieve maintenance at all?

    Again if single, are you recieving the single person discount for your council tax?

    Have you tried to apply for some new credit to shift some of your high APRs? Or at least call them all up and see if you have any BT deals to take advantage of, or just ask them to reduce the APR a little...

    Thats all I can think of for now, just flying by, but for now, hello and welcome

    hello and welcome to the board ....i loved your soa idea that much i knicked it ...
  • rjc73
    rjc73 Posts: 114 Forumite
    Ooh, thanks for the welcome!
    I've put loads of things in the wrong boxes!
    Just to clarify...
    oh works full time...thats his salary but its a bit of a guesstimate as he normally has a monthly bonus on top of the basic (app. £50-100)
    I stay at home with 2 little 'uns.
    Council tax is for 10 months and I'm demanded someone to come round to re-evaluate our banding as I think its wrong.
    Secured loan is actually an unsecured loan (!!!)
    Gas and leccy are dd with swalec they have a combined deficit of £120.00 on the accounts so once they are cleared I can switch.
    mobiles- oh has contract for £25.00-trying to pursuade him to go payg like me for £10pm
    Haven't explored the landline yet...
    Currenly jiggling cc around, think I can transfer and cancel def. 3 maybe 4 .
    Also have checked benefits and am hoping I've been underpaid on ctc.
    So many things to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Have been ebay listing in earnest though!
    Thanks for the response and welcome...sea78 made me!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh, and I'm sure you'll persuade him to go PAYG - or at least get a £15 a month contract? What does he get for the £25?
