DMP - Some companies really unfair !!

Hi,

Been on a DMP with CCCS since January (owing £54k) and some companies like M&S have been great and froze interest straight away and haven't even Defaulted me.

Others like Amex (RMA Resolve) have kept it up still and i find I owe £200 now more than when i started !! Trying like mad to keep things going and they are so unhelpful surely doing this. Yes I know they can legally but surely they should try and lower interest so I can at least repay them !!

Barclaycard have been no good either, transferred it to a recovery agency who promised to stop interest after 6 months and now Bcard have taken it back because I'm making regular payments through CCCS and kept on the interest !!

Egg have been good, M&S the best but I feel so frustrated with RMA Resolve (Amex) and Bcard, very bad form and depressing that they're making my debts increase by being so greedy when I'm trying like mad to keep it together with a family to support.

    Hi hun, the start off of a DMP can be hardwork and CCCS do say things can often get worse before they get better, but keep going, you have done really well and things will get better x
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
