    Egg are fast off the board with the dd cancellation.....are you just online with them? I am, only had a couple of calls- the I am with cccs on a dmp my ref number is - worked like a charm! Have had no written communication. Online arrears notice though?! Wonder if they'll default me online!

    I think Egg only do online, that's why they make it part of your contract that you have to have a DD set up for your bills, as they don't send you any giro slips.

    So nobody missed me? SOB, SOB, Sniff:(

    Anyway, today was the first payment to CCCS day! The only creditor that has freaked me out has been La redoute and I only put them on the DMP so I wouldn't be able to order any more, wish I could have paid them off first. Apart from that everything is going well so far.

    Yay! Congrats!

    My husband actually works for a Carer's charity - helping make sure carers get everything they're entitled to.

    Oooo any tips? Not that Im expecting anything, to be honest its a bit weird getting CA for a child, cos its not like I wouldnt care for him anyway. But at least I dont have to leave him and get a job for a while. Although after his behaviour today he better watch himself :rotfl:
