    Hi All

    Well almost 6 months since that last update! How time flies!

    What is amazing is that in this time I have had next to zero harrassment from creditors. Only thing of note was a letter from Wescot offering me a 'reduced settlement' and thats pretty much it!

    DMP has settled down and the balance is slowly coming down.

    Hi All

    Well its been 2 years since I started my DMP.

    I have reduced my debt by a third, and have fought back against those creditors who treated me like dirt, and have found some accounts to be unenforceable leaving those creditors up the creek without a paddle.

    Thats a shame, perhaps if they had treated me with a little empathy from the start I wouldn't have felt the need to investigate my legal options.

    I have paid off some of my other debts, and also no longer have arrears with my energy supplier.

    Looking forward to another 2 years.
