Posted - 22 January 2010 : 10:36:24 Hi and welcome. At our level of debt and the fact that you are on benefits would meanthat a debt relief order would be more appropriate for you. It is designed for those with debts of less than £15,000 and no assets or disposable income. Only an authorised body can process these for you. The CAB can do it and there should be a branch in your local area. There are fees of £90 I believe. I have not assisted on these so others here may eb able to fully advise better.

First of all have your benefits paid elsewhere in a family members account if possible, which puts you back as the receiver of those benefits instead of your creditor, and pop along the Citizens Advice Bureau and explore your options with them including a debt relief order.
