DMP Journey - Posisble spanner in works
I started my DMP last Autumn after reading numerous threads on here (which proved extremely helpful). It’s all going well and on the road to being debt free in a few years.

Good afternoon to all, When I am preparing my SOA, I have listed only my debts (they
are in my name only) and my income (occupational pension). My wife receives disability benefits only and the debts
