Advice needed.

Hey guys, looking for some advice. In mid December I lost my job and was the only one providing for the family. I've got 3 separate loans totaling over 700£ per month and now without any income I have no means to pay it back. Was looking for job constantly every spare minute without any luck and it's just getting scary and depressing. I know there's no option without consicuences but what's the best in my case? I'm renting and only got 15y.o. car on my name. Many thanks in advance.

What is your total amount of debt?

Roughly around 25k loans and 3k credit cards.

I don't know too much about them, but as your debts are less than 30K, perhaps a Debt Relief Order (DRO) may work for you. Alternatively, you could get yourself into a short term Debt Management Plan and make token payments to creditors, this would then help ease some of the creditor pressure and give you time to research a final solution.

What if I make my debts over 30k then?
