    Does anyone know much about DMPs?
    Or more specifically Payplan? They say they will do it for no fee is it worth me looking into does anyone think?

    Payplan is a non profit making one pipsmum, them and cccs are the two that don't charge fees as far as I know.If you are going down that line then they are the two to deal with.

    Check this thread

    PayPlan is one of the two that people use as they are non profit organisation.

    I set up my own DMP over year ago that I have been managing myself, if you want to ask any questions you can PM me.

    My veggie rescue is going well. Just going to dish out some potato and leek bake with the chicken that I cooked last night (used the chicken stock from SC for the bake) and serve it with mashed swede (with dash of nutmeg and golden syrup thrown in) :T

    Tomorrow the rest of purple sprouting broccoli and tiny cauliflower will end up in bolognese sauce and carrots in carrot and coriander soup (only herb that my herb pot produced) :p

    Only one lemon and one avocado didn't make it :o

    • have a quiet night in watching a DVD and eating Pringles (71p from Tesco!)

    Hi Pips mum that's the company I looked into an IVA with - they were really really helpful, listened and were just quite thoughtful and kind.

    Goodluck

    A NSD today for me - not much work done though whoops - house has been overrun wiht kids, visitors and kids and visitors :)
    £2 to my dotty pot - so hoping (when we raid it in July) htere is a good contribution to petrol for the darwin trip to dads (fingers crossed) - SM its getting heavy!!!!

    A pal gave me 50 quid back which I lent them a zillionn years ago so thats gone to the hairy loan:rotfl:

    First credit offered me 30% off my bad CC as a full and final - which I am repaying at 0% 50 a month at the moment - BUT I don't have the cash - so maybe in a year or so? Annoying but OH and I talked it through - and its not realisitic at the moment at all.

    Hope you are all OK - had a mini bonfire today in garden - looked at seeds and planted some beans.

    Not much acheived? Hey ho!!

    Mogchops - well done on operation eggshell - I did a slug hunt earlier and they suckers where all over the place - sneaky little sneakers
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:
    minus 112.06 = £7755.32:money:
    :money:Sleeves up folks.:money:
