    I read loads about it and letters are just standard and stop and dmp take over i assume? I should imagine companies will try there luck at intimidation but prob know once compant are involved like cccs they have no hope? It will be a learning curve thats for sure!

    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

    BTD - you have not bailed out on us, you have done the best thing in the world for you, the debt free journey not easy, hense I'm on the secnic route, but I know if my situation changed then I would have to take the next step and go down an official route,

    You now have a debt free date to work to, good thats same time as hubbys, he's lucky he has his mumj helping out, the next thing, is set a challenge - I WANT XYZ - I WILL SAVE FOR XYZ WHEN I'M DEBT FREE, whether its a depoist for a house, a baby, mine is to go to Las Vegas and California, and dd wants to come with me, seen the exact trip, keep ordering the new travel brochere to keep that in my mind thats what I want and I will get there xx

    Thanks Jellie! I have done it now so no going back!! You ok?

    House move is done and dusted- chaos is now confined to areas I can close the doors on!! Work has been manic so unfortunately, despite all my best efforts to take things slowly and easy, I'm feeling I'll again. Am feeling quite positive though. I'm planning to take it easy and then get myself back on track. Need to rethink my goals, get my head around having joint finances and maybe start a new diary!

    How are things with you?
