Help needed to decide please

I am currently on a DMP with payplan and paying £400 a month but my health is taking a turn for the worse and could really do with reducing my hours at work, which will in turn reduce my income

I have NO assets apart from my push bike which is my mode of transport.

me and my gf rent a house and all our banks etc are seperate all i pay in my own name is the virgin bill and the online food shopping

Gf has a car just in her name but im on the insurance (they couldnt take this could they?)

i know br stays on file for 6 years but my credit history is a mess due to loads of defaults etc and will be another 2 years til i will pay money off so in theory my credit is a mess for 8 years

any help appreciated

    Gf has a car just in her name but im on the insurance (they couldnt take this could they?) No. You just put it down as`a vehicle you have use of.

    dont worry, appreciate the help and gathered he was just joking

    Thanks tigerfeet will ring up payplan on friday when they open

    Copier_guy yes quite a few of my debts are from gambling although as my sig says i have stopped now which im glad about apart from the odd dabble on the lottery

    Basically just want to know the ramifacations if i went BR would it be the end of stress and worry or would they do an attachement to earnings if i earnt a certain amount?
