UE - SIX Years On!

Re: UE - One year on

Thank you Allan for such an inspirational, eloquent and heartfelt post.

Although our situations are different, there are many parts of your post that I can identify with: the despair, the alarm bells ringing with the creditors even though you're trying to do your best to sort out a difficult situation, coming across Mouseann's thread (in fact I can remember replying to your first post on that thread), the support and friendship from the others on this forum and most of all, the guidance from Niddy.

People who are in debt are made to feel ashamed, almost like a leper if you dare mention that you have debt problems. It isn't something that you can talk about openly, except on a forum like this (especially this forum). By opening up on here, and talking about your problems, makes you realise that you are not alone and that there is hope after all.

Unenforceabilty isn't an 'easy way out' or a way to 'wriggle out of' paying your debts as some people would have you believe, it's a way of getting your life (and sanity) back. UE is a bloody difficult journey at times but made all the more easier with the support on this forum.

I met up with a friend from uni tonight, who I don't see very often, who remarked how well I'm looking and that I seem a lot brighter than the last time she saw me (last year.) This, I believe, is due in a large part to this forum and my friends here. (where's the fluffy bunny smiley?)

To any newcomers looking at this, I would just like to say that there is hope and we're living proof of it.

Diddles you certainly speak for me and so does Alland xxxx Niddy you can never really know what exactly you are to us,not only for some peace but i for one feel human again and not sum lowlife to be bullied by all those moneygrabbers who btw were chucking money left right and centre not long before, and yes we had it but they knew we would ,so now they will just have to lose out , and they do not even lose as the money they have in inerest i am sure would cover debts hundreds of times over.I cannot say that we have money now for luxuries as hubby is 62 and finds work very hard to find (he is a builder) but it has left us with more for day to day living and household commitments.
So Lord Nid we are here can never express our gratitude enough because there really are no words to thank someone who cares enough to give free time you are without doubt pricless mate

And to think, we thought we'd lost you after the MSE fiasco.

Should have known that you'd just get bigger, stronger and more determined after being treated so badly by those that should have been grateful and supportive to someone genuinely trying to assist their members.

When someone with good knowledge and a genuine interest in supporting our cause comes here, we welcome them with open arms.

Well said, Diddles!

I am sure you speak for all of us in this!
