Hi all,

I have just got my first proper home local council property in nearly 10 years and 2 of my kids with me,now i have several debts that need to be addressed largest single one is CCJ for 34000,credit card 2500, bank overdraft 2000 and a couple of smaller ones,i had been paying 300 a month off the biggest for about a year then the company i worked for went bust,i have a new job starting a week monday but involves security check and is asking for financial details, i have moved around a lot and debts are at different addresses i just want to sort it out and have a plan for the future,hopefully the job clearance comes through and i can move forward,just confessing i guess and saying hi .

Hi cluelessfool and welcome to the forum,

Great news about your new job! Just be honest when answering any questions and hopefully you'll be fine.

Are you considering an IVA as a way forward?

Hi there and a warm welcome to the forum - and my conggratulations on getting a new job

How much do you feel you could afford to set aside to repay creditors on a monthly basis, once you have taken account of all your household and general expenditure, including a modest allowance for social and leisure activities?

Take your time, and wait until you have a better idea of your ongoing expenditure before committing to any long-term debt repayment plan.

Hi and welcome to the forum from myself too. It will work out for you I'm sure, give it a little time to get your income and expenditure right and then maybe talk to 2 or 3 companies in respect of all debt solutions. x
