I have a feeling that this is pretty fucking close to impossable. Is there a realistic way that this could be possible?

I owe the bank. They set a date for me to pay them or i will most likely be going to court.
I am really not that good at handeling money. I already have a crediting agency after me. This kind of stuff makes me nervous.

Don't ever believe one of these "consolidate your debts" programmes though. They'll screw you thirteen thousand different ways on the interest.

couldn't we set up a quick paypal so everyone could donate like a dollar each? that'd be hilarious, and you'd only need 268 of us.

why should you feel guilty?
he isn't asking you to pay it.
neither is he asking you for some lesson in morality - he knows he shouldn't have spent that money.

Ha ha, I'm writing an essay for a mate's website at the moment on how the average Briton is fiscally retarded. I'm no accountant/mathmetician, but it doesn't take a great deal of nous to spot:
Incomings > Outgoings = Trouble.
People can almost always cut back more. Fuck, I've lived on literally nothing but rice/pasta for a week (undercook them- it makes you feel more full), didn't go out for a couple of months etc. when times were hard. People who get most in debt aren't the really poor, they tend to be people of low-middle income whose lifestyle far outstrips their means. If you're in debt stop buying designer clothes, drinking, smoking, drugs, using prostitutes, buying music, going to the cinema, eating out. Anything that is not essential to your survival (be it short or long term) can be eliminated.

its all simple mathematics you learn aged 10. ignorance is never an excuse. credit is forced down your neck in advertising and if you're gullable to buy into this capitalist material get now pay later 21st century living you only have yourself to blame.

I was not aware our dear virginpusher resided in Britain?
I did not talk about people in other countries precisely because I accept that people in some other countries cannot help being in massive debt (you think people in the third world are just lazy/poorly disciplined?). I feel that Britain's welfare system makes it quite hard to get into really serious debt through absolutely no fault of your own (although, as always there are a few instances where that occurs).
Although it won't help Virginpusher in this case, my best tip for breaking out of debt is "short and hard"- it's a lot easier to cut back to a bare minimum to survive for a month and tolerate that, knowing it'll soon be over and you can be back to comparative normality, rather than to stop doing something you really like (like going to gigs/pubs etc.) for 6 months. Over that sort of time frame you're far more likely to have lapses.

I'm saying he needs to pay up a fair amount in a couple of days - he doesn't need a plan that takes a month.
neither does he need to hear how he got into this problem - he knows that.
common sense is great, but sometimes it's just not the right time for it.

True, actually. Cutting down on EVERYTHING is easier than cutting down on one specific aspect that you enjoy... you just tend to focus more on that aspect. The cash rolls in pretty quickly too.

Yes, credit companies and banks are at least partly to blame (and it's bad for the economy for the populance as a whole to be in debt heavily, so the government should discourage it too), but ultimately responsibility resides with the individual concerned. They sign the paper.

But this is a "cash quickly please" situation... borrowing, selling, theft from grannies etc might be the only solutions really.

Virginpusher: If you know (and can prove) you'll have the money within a month to pay the debt, e.g. pay check coming in in two weeks time, go to your bank. They'll usually approve a short term, low interest (caluclated by the day- so make sure it is short term!) loan, even if you are heavily in debt/at your overdraft limit. The reason being, it's not in their interest for you to be declared bankrupt- any money you owe them currently would be "wiped clean" if that were the case.
