    If you get in touch with them and explain then they can do a revised budget and work out how much you can afford. That's the brilliant thing about DMPs, they're not set in stone and so they can change with your circumstances.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Speak to PayPlan, re-do your budget and reduce your standing order

    Got to agree with Ames and Northernlass.

    Speak to Payplan as soon as possible and explain to them what your situation is. They will contact your creditors with a reduced payment plan.
