    Thanks Lynz - I really felt a whole lot better after speaking to the lady at CCCS initially - I think if they go through everything and work out an appropriate DMP with me I will feel a whole lot better - who cares if i cant get credit for 6 years? I dont want it anyway!! I never want to take out a Loan or CC again!"! Im not even worried about the possibility of phone calls and nasty letters from creditors as im already getting my fair share of them anyhow!!

    I guess the 04-05 books may take me a few days to unravell but i will post on here to see what you all think (as usual) ;-)

    thanks for your support lynz - i will keep you updated!! cheers buddy!!

    luv dotty xx

    hey lady, well done on getting things sorted, and glad you feel batter. Things are looking better all the time, and it won't be long now before you'll be working out your DFD.
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    Well a really exciting Friday night for me folks - been listing all my debts, amounts outgoings etc in preparation for my phone interview on the 6th with the CCCS - It looks like the remainder after all the outgoings they suggest i put down will be in the region of £200 pcm. Do you think this is enough to distribute around approx £28k of debts?? mmmmmmmm..........i dunno myself but would really like the option of a DMP at the moment.........any ideas folks?
