Advice regarding debt management plan

Hi

i was looking into starting a debt management plan to sort out my debts.

I have hire purchase on a car though and was just wondering if i needed to include this in the debt management plan or could i leave this out and just continue to pay the full payment and keep the car as is needed for transport for work?

Also would i be eligible for dmp as i have never missed payments on my debts but i am not going to nbe able to afford to keep up due to partner being made redundant?

Thanks

    You should be able to go on a DMP & as far as I know car would have to be included.

    im with CCCS who are brilliant, i could not include my car in this as its a something that can be taken from you if you lower payments, they dont include it in the plan. Speak to CCCS - i hadnt missed any payments, they were late but i was borrowing from all over to cover them.
