Why did you borrow money when you had no way to pay it back? The courts will want to know the same thing if you are considering bankrutpcy.

Also that is the way it is with all loans. Payments start being interest heavy, as you make payments the principal portion of the loan gets bigger and the interest portion lessens.

The MOST important debt is the rent arrears as this could cause eviction.
The others, while a burden are easily managed.
Best thig would be to contact National DebtLine (http://www.nationaldebtline.co.uk/) or CCCS (http://www.cccs.co.uk/) who can offer realistic debt management advise and solutions to your problems.
