Advice please

I have just been counselled by CCCS and sent for my debt remedy - this will take 7yrs to clear. After reading the boards I have become fearful of harrassment from the credit card companies. Am I doing the right thing? I think I am but I am scared:eek:

    I am sure you are doing the right thing - what would your other options be? If you post up a SOA (there is a link at the top of the forum) the lovely people on here will be able to help.

    Good luck.

    Hi

    The harrasment usually isn't that bad. They may hassle you a bit for the first couple of months but just keep telling them have to talk to cccs and quote your cccs number. It usually settles down after this and you get a call maybe every 6months to a year.

    Hi
    You are definitely doing the right thing. I started my DMP in December and the calls soon die down. Just keep repeating that you have a DMP with CCCS and they are usually fine. Good luck
