Hi,i need help,i'm 23,carer,and live on 60 income support,i've had a court letter today for an orange contract i took out when i was at college in 2010.what happened was the phone broke 3months roughly before my contract was due to end,i had no insurance as i was living on 30 ema a week,i phoned they said nothing they could do so i just stopped paying the last 3months. I thought it wouldn't be a big deal as i'd paid every payment before that for over a year never missed. please walk me through what to do,it says i have to go on moneyclaim.gov to respond,i thought i'd get your advice because you all seem to know what your on about. Lowells want total 237.69, which seems extreme and i cannot afford. I did receive letters before reguarding my bill but i just ignored,because it was only for last months and i thought they would give up. Shall i offer a minimum monthly payment out my benefit? thanks for listening.
Hi everyone,thanks for the add.

Re: Hi everyone,thanks for the add.
Hello and Welcome
There are some lovely people on here who give very good advice. What I do know is that you should not speak with any debt collection company. Only ever in writing.
If you have other debts then maybe a debt management plan would be helpful. An independent third party (normally a charity) looks at everything and agrees payments. The debt management plan ensures that you are ok, not pressured or unfairly treated, and that whatever you can afford is shared equally among all your creditors.
Step Change is a useful website and here is the link to Consumer Credit Counselling Service.

Have a read and see what you think.
