A message of hope!

hi everyone!

this is just a message to everyone who feels that their debt has overtaken their lives

Please don't despair, your life is much more important than any debt you may have! my advice would be to get on board with a company like CCCS who i'm with or Payplan, I'm currently £20,000 in debt and used to pay my creditors about £400 a month, but now i'm with CCCS I now only pay £100 per month!

My life now is so much better and we're even going to go on holiday this year, first time in about 5 years!

so what I'm basically trying to say is that there's so much more to life than money and materialistic things, I think we worry too much about having the big house, the flash car, the designer clothes, in the big scheme of things none of this stuff matters, what really matters is that we're happy and have people around us who love us which will then make us feel very "rich" indeed!

Best wishes

Luke;) ;)

    Hello mate. Just wanted to wish you good luck! :beer:

    However one thing that puzzles me is that as far as I was aware to enter a DMP you had to repay a minimum of £200 a month! :confused:

    Thats really weird! I'm sure I've read before a couple of times that you need to be able to repay a minimum of £200 a month but thanks for setting me straight! :D

    well can only tell you what i am doing, but not sure of the 'rules'......i did start off at £100 when it was a joint plan then when my partner left it went down to £50........would be nice if i could pay back more then i would be debt free quicker:-)
