Payplan - help

Just had my call with Payplan and to be honest everything is just a cloudy as it was before!

Im not sure what to do, they say i can afford 208 per month for DMP or Trust Deed but i know i cant. Im living on my wage even though i live with my partner but because of that fact they said i had to split my living expense by half. I explained my other half is struggling with work, he is self employed.

Thinking about contacting CCCS, but do they advise anything different.

Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hi,

    From what I have seen other people post on this board CCCS are stricter on your budget than Payplan, We are with Payplan, and never contacted CCCS so I can't give you my opinion. I am sure that someone will be along who is with CCCS shortly.
