Hi all.
New member here and pleased to be part of the community. Long story short, I have run up a large amount of debt and am so about to enter a Debt Management Plan (DMP). I'm keen to get my debts down as quickly as possible so have already started on a few different avenues to help out. I've taken in a lodger, am due to have an exam for a role with lionbridge shortly and have been hammering the online surveys. I've also been doing a bit of use testing through what users do and usertesting.com. Finally I've downloaded bemyeye and already started earning money through that (I have an android phone).
Next steps I'm considering are getting a cheap iPhone from eBay so I can start doing field agent tasks. Gonna look at getting a pay-as-you-go sim for this. Do people think this is a good idea? I am also doing a bit of selling via Facebook of stuff that's in my house/garage that I don't need anymore.
Unfortunately one problem I have is that part of the debt I owe (about 2.5k) is to paypal. So i think i'm going to quickly bw in the position that anything that I earn that goes into my PayPal account will go straight to them. Which is good in that it helps with my debt but bad in terms of the fact that when that debt goes into my DMP they could quite rightly say that I'm getting extra income, which could affect my DMP. Do I have any options here? I'm assuming I can't just set up a different paypal Account? One piece of good news is that prolific academic now offer an alternative to paypal!
Finally does anyone have any suggestions for any other avenues I can explore. To be clear matched betting is not an option for me for personal reasons although I recognise and am gladdened by the fact that is helped many others.
Thanks for taking the time to read my first post and I wish you all the best
