Hi all,

Been lurking here for a while and reading everyones posts. Just wanted to give a big thankyou to you all as reading through these have made me face up to the fact I am in debt and to start sorting this mess out.

So once again a big thanks to all who have shared their stories and made me face upto reality
Proud to be dealing with my debts

    Hi I always think this forum reminds me of the song "Lean on me" cos we all lean on each other and give each other strength to carry on.
    Stick with us cos it will be a life changing experience (for the better, trust me).
    Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)

    Thanks for the support guys just doing an SOA and was shocked at how little I had to play with.

    However I have also been looking around on the site and trying other to find ways to increase the amount I have to use for clearing my debts - so far have managed to save £320 on car and home insurance now going to look at utilities.

    Will post SOA up once I have completed this

    Now beginning to realise I CAN come back from this
