You really need to get some advice from CAB or similar.
I dont think they can only give you 2 days notice to make payment.
You must make a complete and honest statement to them about income and expenditure.
Your first priority should be morgage or rent. If the company ignore those you could become homeless and I don't think they can do that.
Check the web for debt advice.I think there is a government backed one.
Look for .gov. something.
Good luck.

I apologise if English isn't your first language, but what do '2mrw' and 'y2dy' mean?
