When you get to the stage where you don’t want to open your mail for fear it contains letters demanding payments for bills and you avoid answering the phone because it might be people demanding payment, you know you have a serious debt problem on your hands.

The only way out is by dealing with debt and the way to do that will depend on your circumstances but the most important thing to do is to stop spending money.

Whatever the circumstances that led to the build up of loans and the quantity of the money owed it will not be helped by careless spending now. Work out your income and add up your essential expenses. Pay the must pays first and then try to spread the rest between your other debts.
