    Also put in my payplan request. It says that I have £750 left over to pay my debts. So when I worked this out it leaves me with:

    Loans = £309
    Catalogue = £200

    Which leaves around £241 for two credit cards.

    Which is more than what I thought I would have available. It really suprised me.

    See ;) You certainly don't need to go bankrupt! That is more than I normally have to clear my debts each month these days!

    Loads of people on here use CCCS/Payplan - just read some of the other threads on the board and look at their website!

    Well I think its 750 because it asked me for my net salaries, now that is after tax right?

    Yes, 'net' is after tax etc has been deducted.

    Its just I worked it out differently, anyway, I'll have to speak to them when they call me.

    Fingers crossed. :)

    Right this snowball thing. I've just done the calculations and its saying that I should pay £64 less a month on one loan, and £20 more on another, pay £84 more on a credit card etc... What if the bank loan is a fixed amount to pay each month, will they accept less?

    Sounds like you've done the snowball calculator wrong. Which site did you use?

    Loans are a fixed repayment (and no, in most cases, without a prior arrangement through a DMP, they won't accept lower payments) so you need to 'tick' the "fixed repayments" box - or just enter your payment as the minimum repayment amount.

    HTH
