I made an arrangement to pay back the debt over 5 years no more interest 6 years where I could not get in any trouble credit wise and now its paid off and my credit rating is clean
obviously you need to pay your mortgage and prioritise the rest imo. Some companies ime do not even pass on the info to the credit refference agencies

Thanks for that, the mortgage and other 'essentials' are set up on my new bank account and will be paid as normal. The only things I'm not paying this month are loan, overdraft and credit cards. Would the 6 years start from when an agreed payment plan is put in place?
