Welcome to MSE TT!

Well selling up would be my last port of call but lets see if we can help.
Post a full SOA (state of affairs) and we will see where we might be able to save you some money.
Have a look at this thread for a guide!
Can I ask why your loan wasn't included in your DMP with Payplan?0 -
selling is the last port of call i owed 38,000 we lived in a house in the village had some equity in it ...any way we were offerd a house on the local estate an old keepers cottage at a very cheap rent , we cleared half our debts in one quick sweep we will take another 24months paying the rest off we entered in to repayment programme with the creditors,the money we had from sale of house paid of biggest debts so thats the way weve done it ok for us but we still live where we want and have a secure tennancies ie once your in the estate house as long as you pay your rent you can stay forever0
