Well I have somewhat similar situation, I have been working till Feb 2016, but was fired due to home office letter to my employer,telling them my EEA2 visa has been expired, although being EEA family member I didn't had to renew my permission to work anyway I lost my job.
Now after getting my PR for the period 2010-2015, I have applied for my naturalization in August 2016, but I have debts of almost 5500 pounds, I have been paying my debts through a debt management company till the time I was working.
Now I have again started paying my debts off,through another debt management company. I have no other issues.
I thought it is ok to have default as long as I do not have CCJs. I am worried now

Thanks for your reply, there are few things went through my sight in debt section. First of all I have paid all my council taxes, TV licence fees etc. Secondly I am paying my debts through debt management company. Thirdly I have not taken any benefits even when I am unemployed. I am unemployed for the last 10 months and have not taken any benefits and paying my all council and other taxes.
Lastly I have saving and can pay my debts off in one payment but I got PPI problems with my bank and want to clear it first.
I have been offered a job in bank and they are satisfied with my default arrangements.
Do you think I have to explain that to HO please advise?
