Please help - I have debts and am paying out more than my monthly salary and need some advice. I have a loan which I pay £180 pm, and have just over 3 years left (just under £7000 left). I owe £6000 on credit cards, £2200 on store cards and £750 on catalogues. I went to my bank (who I have the loan with) for a consolidating loan and they turned me down. I don't know what to do - my salary has gone as soon as it hits my bank account, and I'm living off tax credits, which, with 3 children, doesn't go far. Please help! Thank you.
