Mental illness led to huge financial problems - where to start/which charity

[MH&£]

Hello, apologies if I get something wrong - first post. I've tried to read the FAQ but mental illness drugs have left me with the concentration span of a gnat (that may be insulting to gnats, amoeba maybe?!)

 

I've lost a year of my life to a misdiagnosed mental illness and the ensuing drugs which left me in a lithium-induced coma like state. Meanwhile, I've garnered a lot of financial problems (including CCJs) albeit the one thing I've managed to get a temporary agreement on is my mortgage.

 

Is there an optimal charity for complex debt (there's a company failure in there too) please?

 

I can't handle this on my own, especially as I fear sliding back into depression.. already overwhelmed

 

Many thanks in advance for your kind assistance

Hi, I got into deep debt due to depression. The CAB were fantastic and helped me out a lot - give them a try

Thank you, I've thought about CAB but worried about confidentiality (only in that I know people over quite a wide local area that work in them/volunteer and I can't drive more than 20-30 minutes due to physical ailments) so was hoping for alternatives!

Have you tried national debtline? Everything is confidential and they can direct you to the best companies/charities for your problems.

I can direct you to www.moneysavingexpert.com, that Martin lewis, has done a document along with mental health charities, about Mental health and debt...... Creditors have to treat you differently, and it is all confidential, you can put it on your credit file, or not, and it will not be shared amongst others......
