    Clucky26,

    Sorry didn't realise and I don't want to panic anyone. I only asked because I have two O/D that I could move to another lender as they are with my employer.

    Feel bad now... Don't want to cause undue stress for anyone.

    Please don't feel bad!!!!!!! I'm just a worrier and I'd already thought of this myself, did ask the question on here and creditors usually accept in a couple of months if there has been activity on the account. But suddenly thought for a moment may be different with balance transfers!
    I've moved some of the horrible creditors to the (I say loosely) 'better ones!! I have enough money to make this month payments so hoping that should be ok! I will ring cccs tomorrow to check!
    I feel bad now, don't want to make you feel bad!

    Does any one else have any thoughts on this?

    Long time user of MSE but never really had time to post/follow the boards. I am on a DMP and the relief it has given me has been amazing - I now sleep through the night! Lots of thanks to MSE and CCCS for this.

    Now I need to pick your brains....does anyone know what the likelihood is of my creditors accepting a renegotiated DMP due to what you may vaguely call an "unexpected change in circumstances" or rather a bundle of baby joy due in the next 6 months?! I am very worried that I need to be saving and my outgoings are going to go up (we have a flatmate at the moment but they will have to go eventually which will see a rent hike/council tax hike) as well as all the other essentials and when the baby comes by income will go down by 10% ( I am lucky to have good maternity benefits at work). If anyone has any tips/experience of this I would be really grateful if you could share them!

    Hi Peachykeen
    Hello :beer:

    I've not been using this site very long either, but looking at National debt line website may help:

    Congratulations on your expected bundle of joy.

    hi everyone, hope you're all ok:DI've been getting increasingly hassled by my 3 creditors recently:rolleyes:
    .The calls have increased despite me writing to them etc.My mum has offered to help me pay some of the debt off, but can anyone remind me what it's called when you offer them a full and final payment which is less than the full balance, as i've seen it mentioned on here, but can't find it:confused::confused:
