Starting a DMP but..

Hi,

We are starting a DMP with CCCS, and have cancelled the direct debit for our loan as we just cannot afford to make the payments.

CCCS advised to send a token gesture in the meantime - as DMP may take until September to set up.

However when sending a token gesture, do I send a covering letter - and if so, what should I put in it?

Or...is this covered in the CCCS DMP pack they send you?

Thanks!

    Hi

    The letter should be included in the pack they send you - it's a standard one so just fill in creditors details and your details etc and copy it and send it off. Make sure you send it Recorded Delivery as creditors have a habit of saying they haven't received it!
