question category: Bailiffs

me and my partner both need serious debt advice but don't know were to start!!


i had a bank loan with my ex and haven't paid on it for a long while due to only workin part time now, i estimate about 15.000 owed, also we are being threatened with bailiffs visiting my partner to recover an 18,000 debt for unpaid csa. He has worked out that roughly over the time period they reckon he should have been paying 500 a month, which is rediculous. its bothering me now as 90% of the contents of our house came from my previous marriage and my partner only bought his clothes and a few personal bits into the house. i'm concerned that they will take all mine and my daughters stuff and i have no way of proving it is all mine.......what do i do?

Re: me and my partner both need serious debt advice but ...

In short - The bailiffs are the most pressing concern, you need to be able to prove that the items were yours before you both got together. Your partner should also provide CSA with a financial statement so they can see that what they’re asking for each month is unreasonable.

Your debt is something you need to deal with, no matter what your income. It sounds like a complex situation so I’d recommend calling a debt charity (there are lots to choose from), who can work out how much you are able to offer to your creditors each month and advise you on the most appropriate solution for your circumstances.
