Background to how I got into this mess:

Around 10 years ago I had a well-paid job and a top notch credit score. I had a few credit cards I hardly used, but no outstanding debt. I went into a lone business venture for a pension pot. I borrowed heavily through bank loans. They couldn’t...

Hi, I have been paying Restons £25 a month for ages against a credit card debt of about £5,000. I have now received a letter saying that they are applying for a charging order, what should I do next, I had returned and I & E form to them and offered to increase my payments to £30. I have a joint...

Now I know this is a problem that has been posted before, but I thought I would rant on a little more on the subject.

Our property is jointly owned, but I have a charging restriction for a credit card debt. We are finally getting a few viewers to see our house, and I thought that it was...

Not sure about this, but 12 months ago the Co-op adminstered my late mothers estate which inlcuded selling the house she was in.

I am not 100% about this but I know lots of you have gone down this route (been busy reading lots of your diaries) but I have a few questions of my own (sorry I know they have probably been...
