Posted - 29 July 2009 : 23:21:31 Your creditors will hound you mercilessly if you don't pay, and may even make you bankrupt themselves (not likely, but not impossible).
You need to get yourself sorted out and as has been previously stated, whatever route you go down will damage your credit rating for 6 years.

As Paul says put your income and expenditure on the forum and we can have a look, Bankruptcy is one option, there are others.
Bankruptcy and IVAs and DROs will seriously effect your credit record for 6 years

Posted - 29 July 2009 : 22:04:33 if no contact for 6yrs you get statue barr but they will contact you, debt will be sold on and they will contact you..
You need to contact CAB or national debt line but looks like BK would be your best option put your SOA up on here and people will help.
