    Hi, I'm sure if you post your question in the debt free wannabe forum you will get a better response. Hope this helps.

    You may be able to ask for reduced payments but this will damage your credit record for some years to come.
  • hi
    how much is your minimum?
    i wouldnt have thought it would be much more than £20 a month unless you are incurring charges do you have other debts it might help you to look on debt-free wannabe forums for advice on talking to cccs or paypal sorry cant help you much but better to sort it out sooner so not to get charges

    I think she might mean payplan, another debt management company (not sure as have no experience of these but did a quick google).
