    How long have you been with CCCS?

    Are you able to send a £1.00 token payment to all your creditors tomorrow?

    this is the 2nd month ,we have sent the token payments 3 months ago ,just worried CCCS will throw him off DMP if they recieve late payment (4 days) paula x
  • Email CCCS they are very good about this sort of thing. I think as long as they receive it by 9th of the month then all is ok. Do drop them an email about it straightaway though.

    I think you're allowed one miss payment, but you would need to contact CCCS for confirmation.

    Good luck

    Normally you have until the 10th of the month to make the payments. They once received one of mine on 12th of the month and it was still ok but I wouldn't recommend it.

    I shall be paying mine tomorrow - so it should arrive by the end of the week.

    When you speak to CCCS, make sure they record this situation what created a late payment, just in case it happens again in the future.
