Hey guys, I hope maybe someone can help me out here.
About a year ago, I used to live in the UK with my partner. A very long story short he was an extremely bad person and became very abusive. I ended up using bank overdraft to flee the UK and come back to my home country of Canada. I know it was stupid. He had ostracized me from everybody. I had no money & I have medical conditions that leave me in poor health. I was suicidal and it felt like it was either do this or kill myself. All of our household bills were in my name. Then came exit fee after exit fee. He didn't return some rented stuff so I had to pay for that too.
Jump to a year later and I haven't even been able to so much as touch the debt. I am chronically ill and I'm not supposed to even be working but I have no choice. I'm plummeting into even poorer health. I work a minimum wage job and I don't often have enough money to feed myself properly. All my clothes don't fit or have holes in them. I have to spend 20% of my income on medication so I don't die. I'm trying to find a better paying job but I can't do much because of how sick I am.
I don't know if it's an option to talk to my bank about it but I'm really bad at phone calls and even trying to explain what happened makes me start crying uncontrollably. I feel really bad for not repaying this debt already. I don't know what to do and I need help.
I really want to go back to the UK. I liked it better there, I have my disabled status, and I can have more help with the costs of living. The rent is often cheaper and I feel more at home there. But I didn't want to go until this debt is paid.
