Advice needed plz!

I took out 4 credit cards last year when I returned to education after a few years at work. Within 5 months I am in £9k of debt & have had to quit college as I was unable to afford rent etc whilst studying 4 days a week. My intertest free credit cards are now starting to run out & I am on quite a low income despite working 6 days a week. Any suggestions what to do, I have a car that's worth about £1500 & I rent a furnished flat so have hardly any assest except some expensive items of clothes & shoes. I am considering bankruptcy as it seems like the easy options, as at the moment my credit card repayments are being paid by transferring money from other cards but theres hardly any money left on any of the cards & I can't seem to get any more cards. Advice would be much appreciated xx P.S. If I made myself bankrupt would they take my clothes & shoes?

Hello Shoppoholic

Firstly, they cannot take any clothing or footwear from you when going bankrupt. You did say that some items were expensive when bought, but aslong as they arent worth alot of money now then you will be fine. You are allowed to pay to your debts at what you can afford. Bankruptcy is an option of course, but it should only be considered if you have looked at all other routes first. If you give us a call at the Debt Advice Trust on 0800 954 6518, we can go through your details and find the easiest way for you to pay your debts back. Hope this helps
