Advised to go for a DMP - would I be better with an IVA?

Have done another budget that I think is all I'd be allowed from collecting various advice - payments are close to £600 and I think that this means a DMP may be more suitable

Going back to switching banks you need to choose a bank where you don't have any debt ..... and that means the bank group as a whole. Its not happening so much now however banks were changing hands like crazy a year ago so I had to change accounts twice.
Halifax have a very easy online application process although it depends where your debts are.0
