  • Hi Redrose

    I sent a £5 token payment to my creditors. I haven't heard anything from any of them since.

    Although I do have a block on my home phone that doesn't allow withheld numbers to contact me!

    Don't panic! It is nerve wracking but you will be fine!

  • Hi been sorting out my money to send to creditors, do I need to tell my credit card companies take they will be receiving a token payment or just send it and let them contact me as regards to not the minimum payments fullfilled??

    Also I have loans one - NATWEST which goes out on the same day OH is paid so do I ring the loan and ask if I can pay a lower payment or tell them I am going on a DMP as I fear they will take the money anyway. And the other with BARCLAYS I can withdraw my wages before this is taken and call them to let them know I am willing to give a lower payment this month but again if I tell them I am going on a DMP surely they will take the payment and send me over my ODraft and I will end up with loads of charges? (o/draft is 200.00 loan repayment should be 332.38)

    Any advice is appreciated.
  • I am going to re-post on DMP thread, as I think that is what the outcome will be. And everyone has such good advice, thanks for the advice and thanks for caring. Redrose x
