    Hi Mandyl,

    If you are struggling with payments then yes is a good plan to make token payments to your creditors since at least they can see you are making an effort and not just ignoring them.
    Are you trying to sell your house at the moment, since as far as I am aware you can't have any assets for a dro. Will this give you any extra that could help with the debts?
    If you want to try posting up a statement of affairs then people will be able to give more specific advice based on your circumstances.
