Your 'friend' needs to speak to a professional ie an IP to discuss his situation.

Pippa

hi pippa hes does the thing is how come earns 65k per year and have 25 credit cards
but one thing pippa if he uses that other 100k linit on the other 10 credit cards that will mean he will have debts of over 310k could he do a iva

JOHNPAUL

[johnpaul]

i told him to cut the credit cards up he said to me i live on credit and will carry on doing so

In that case there's nothing you can do to help your 'friend' is there? If that's his attitude I don't believe that he actually wants any help. I'd tell 'him' to go away and come back when he actually wants to do something constructive otherwise he's wasting everyone's time.

John paul but I am confused

You say your 'friend' is very upset as he has huge debts and cannot by the sounds of it clear them. Yet he is prepared to continue this path with the other 10 CC's??????? No one here can tell you what is best for him, he needs to approach a professional body and seek some advice.

hi skippy i agree with that when i told him that how come he owes all of this money he told me i am trying to prove a point thats its far to easy to get credit cards and before he left he said the offer is not over until the fat lady sings

JOHNPAUL

[johnpaul]

i told him pippa to seek help and to do a iva or go bankrupt

If ur "friend" is in that much debt and as u say is admitting hes in a "holy mess" how can he be considering being so irresponsible as to carry on and use any more credit let alone the £100k u say is available to him.

[Skippy]

If this so called friend carries on using credit and eventually goes BR it's pretty likely he will get a restriction order.

that could be nasty skippy how long could that last for
becky i dont think he cared he as a 100k car which i think should be sold to pay back some of these debts

JOHNPAUL

[BECKY]

if the cars on credit which is probably is with that level of debt he wont have any choice cos it wont be sold it will be taken back!!
