Hi redditors. I’m F, 23 and have found myself in a pile of debt. I opened a store account with Mr Price last year while I was still employed (R800 debt on this account) and had to leave my job due to the environment affecting my mental health. To sustain myself for the next two months I took out 2 loans (big mistake!) from LendPlus & Wonga.
I am now sitting at a total debt of +/- R6k with the interest accumulated. I am still unemployed but get a bit of money here and there (very little to be honest, under R1.5k in a month) but I’d like to take steps towards eliminating these as I’ve been getting handover emails and SMS messages.
Any advice would be appreciated.
