    I paid my first payment this week too - was really shocked it cost £1.95 to send at the post office :eek:

    Good. Hope that it settles down soon. Good luck

    Also got two letters of acceptance this morning in the post from our biggest creditors so that was good news :j

    :D i paid my first payment too!! have had some scary letters already and a few phone calls. nice to hear someone else at same stage too. I can finally breathe abit, i feel so relieved now. although i have had one refusal to accept the dmp proposal which is abit scary. the advisor said it'll probably go to legal team and then they'll put a charge on my house. i find it all abit hairraising.:eek: my debt is 28,000 and has just snowballed since a went part time following the birth of my 1st baby 2 1/2 yrs ago. i really didn't see any light at the end of tunnel till i read about the cccs on this site so thank you everyone. just wish i could fast forward a few months. my plan is to go back to work FT once the kids are at school as i can't afford child care otherwise. then i can increase payments to cccs. try explaining that to the collection agencies!!

    Made mine this month too. I'm still waiting for acceptance letters and holding my breath. We are having sooo many calls to ignore though.
    Best of luck
