    Hello again :D

    I said "selling them on a DMP solution" - not charging them.....

    DMP's - I suggest - DO pay their wages, as the creditors may well withdraw the funding if everyone went bankrupt or into an IVA on CCCS advice....

    Ok:confused: where did you get the info CCCS where funded by creditors?


    Would you care to share?

    A DMP offers no protection from creditors at all, legal or otherwise.....yet........hopefully that may change next year, though i wont hold my breath.

    The fact you believe it does though means you need to do some more research;)

    That fact alone sickens me, that even though so many try to do the "right thing" they are not given any protection for doing so:confused:

    Sorry! Got my DMPs mixed up with my DPPs (under Scotland's Debt Arrangement Scheme) for a second there! :o

    That said, although there is no legal protection under DMPs, I had gained the (possibly erroneous) understanding from posts here that some creditors will voluntarily back off when someone is in a DMP.

    Also, if creditors do try to harass someone who is in a DMP, that can be seen as a breach of the OFT's guidance on debt collecting - specifically the section about not dealing with nominated third parties.

    So, although not 'legal' protection, a DMP can offer a bit more of a buffer than simply going it alone.

    That's before we even start on the huge sense of relief which people can feel simply knowing that they're not trying to deal with the debt on their own.

    HTH explain my thinking a bit more :-)
