2 months after contacting cccs I have finally found the courage to send the papers back for my DMP and all letters sent to my crediters, no going back now. Most scary thing I have ever done but at the same time i feel there will be a day when i owe nothing.
Any others in the same boat just go for it you have nothing to lose.

    Well done, the first few months are the worst as it takes time to adjust to your new budget, but in many ways they are the best as all the worries, lettters and phone calls stop. The last few months are pretty bad as well cos you know you are nearly there and just want it all paid off (thats where I am now). Dont mean to go on about it, but feeling good, as indeed you will when you get there :)
