When I had to reduce my outgoings I just rang each company and explained the situation and together we went through income and expenditure and agreed a reduced payment plan (and I mean reduced eg £5 per month).
This was an alternative to suspending payments at least I was paying something
I also didnt have all the copying of forms and stuff to deal with and got an instant decision which gave me peace of mind
Cant help with all that really but a listening👂and 🖐 is here for you. Hope all goes well xx
I know it must be so hard for you right now but you will be ok as long as you don't give up, and if you have anyone like your mum or dad or siblings who can help you make sure you get them to help like i did, wish you the very best stay well and again i am so so sorry to hear about what this is putting you though, make sure if you have problems understanding that you get someone to help you, stay positive unicorn.
