Has anyone had a debt relief order?

Thanks for all your comments regarding me being on benefits,in debt,on debt relief order & wanting the i-phone?

• regarding what you all might think i am certainly NOT trying to beg someone to send me money to buy the phone-it must have looked that way 'cause of all my posts. Yes,i'd love an i-phone 4S but i cant have one unless i saved up out of my benefits-but then it'd take over a year-but my son said when my presant contract ends the year dec 2012 for my nokia 6700 that he took out for me in his name as i cant obtain credit & it'd be risky trying it as am on a Debt Relief Order till next june-he'll then take me out an i-phone contract if i still really want and crave for an i-phone-but he said he's not taking me out another contract now as i'll be unable to afford two contracts. By end of next year the i-phone 5 will most likely be out- so i'll have a choice between the i-phone 4S and i-phone 5 provided my son doesnt change his mind about taking me out a new contract in his name once my presant one is finished. Until then i'll just have to be satisfied with my Nokia 6700

• Answer:

  I don't think anyone would think that, that's crazy thinking. It's plain and simple and there is no need to keep asking this nor saying why you want one. You can't have one unless you save. Saving will take time So you deal with it. Obtain a cheap smart phone via your son buying you one for £90 or a second hand one from CEX or Ebay. You don't NEED an Iphone, you WANT one. You don't NEED a smartphone, you have the internet at home as you don't work all day do you. Let it rest dear and accept your situation. Get well first, THEN get a job, THEN buy the things you want. Up until last year I was using an Old Nokia and I am 29. My sister had an old Nokia until this year and she is 22. WHAT is your problem? LOTS of people DO NOT have £600 phones. Why are you so concerned with what other people think of your Nokia when you will be homeless because you are sick in the head. GO TO your PYSCH team and ask for help with addictive spending. You cannot get out of this. You do not have the money. Period. Plain and simple. End of.
