Hi OP
In the past I reached a point whereby almost my entire salary was swallowed up by interest payments and payday loans. I had half a dozen maxed out credit cards and always had two payday loans on the go. In the end an accountant at work found all my paperwork which I had carelessly left lying around. My boss asked me what was going on. I just made up a lie about how the debts were built up but there was no denying it was unsustainable. I spoke to a company called Payplan who helped me enter into an IVA so I paid back a portion of the debt which I could afford and the rest was written off over five years.
