    Hi all well i hope you wont be dissapointed in me but i have put my cc debts on a dmp. This will finish in 5 years and bring me in line with hubbys debt free date so a fresh start in ust 5 years lol!! Hubby wanted to keep paying his debts, and his mum helps him lucky i know!
    Sorry if you feel i have bailed on you i will still be here if you wnat me to be!xx
  • Hi BTD. Glad to hear you've done what you think is right. At the end of the day, you'll have paid it all back, and have peace of mind in the meantime, which is very important. You are still a DFW after all, and still need to be here, like we all do, to follow the righteous path to our DF days!!

    Pleased for you

    I saw your message on the board asking about a DMP - I sway between deciding to do it and not, what made the decision for you? I think I would do one but I dread the persistent phonecalls and letters I imagine you would get?

    If it feels the right decision for you to make then it is the right decision - well done x
    1st debt - Next [STRIKE]£583.32[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£408.71 [/STRIKE] £0 :j
    2nd debt - MBNA - £6,618.52
    First in many many to go - baby steps and all that!
    First lump sum to go - fingers crossed!
    08/06/09 - [STRIKE]£11,497.68[/STRIKE] NOW - £9,757.75

    Hey you

    Glad you made that decision - and you must always be around here!

    I often think of going down that route but because hubby self employed think it may impact negatively on us.

    RMC
    LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
    (CC/LOAN = [STRIKE]36,378.98[/STRIKE] 35668.47. O/D = [STRIKE]1255.32[/STRIKE] 1212.35/[STRIKE]1999.78[/STRIKE] 1934.52, BUS = [STRIKE]9769.76[/STRIKE] 8714.98)
    Challenge = Debt at 31/01/12 = £25k. 2011 Payments = £1,944.19/£24,403.84

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!
