in Debt-free wannabe
my debt has finally after two years been passed to a DCA called blair oliver scott which i believe is the in house DCA for BOS/Halifax.

Now i made regular monthly payments to BOS/Halifax via my DMP. Do i call the DCA and let them know that they will be receiving this payment from now on and give them the DMP details?

sorry for sounding silly but im not sure what to do but feel i should give them a courtesy call.

thanks
:mad: sometimes my debt panics me..... EVEN after 4 years or so.

I will be free in less than three years with a trust deed - my only option as debt management was taking too long :(

    Is your DMP with one of the debt charities?
    I'm on a DMP with CCCS and if a debt gets passed on to a DCA they would like to know, so they can inform the DCA that they will be making the the payments on your behalf
