Hiya BTD

I'd keep the car but only if you really need it. We scrapped DH's car a few weeks ago and got £120 for it. Wouldn't have been able to get another car with that, so I'm doing without. I live and work and DS6 goes to school in the same village. My car is now DH's car. It has done about 80,000 miles and last week cost us £90 for 2 front tyres (out of scrappage money) and £330 for a full service including changing the cam-belt. Shouldn't need anything doing to it for yonks now (fingers crossed).

Sorry to hear about the mortgage payment. Hope you get that sorted x

Hi BTD

Long time lurker here (not sure if I have posted on here before)

Are you on a DMP for all debts or just a select few?

Also I just went back to your front page and noticed your total debt, have you managed to reduce it at all?

The reason I am asking is because your credit rating will already be rubbish with your DH's self DMP so why not go the whole hog and put all the debts on a DMP? This will save you having to struggle all the time.

I think CCCS have a self help on their website, you enter all your details in and it gives you a few options without actually having to speak to someone face to face. Might be worth doing to see what they recommend.

Hi Eager yes you have posted and been very helpful before thanks. Hubby wants to do self dmp at the moment so doing that for him.
I have reduced debt by about 4k loans all debts now coming down:T
You are right about credit rating and i never want credit again i just need to get on top and save for what we need.xx:)

OOo best of luck with your debt. I'm not sure I can offer any advice just some encouragement.
