DMP Mortgage Unsecured Loan Advice

I am just after some advice.

I am going with a debt management plan through CCCS, just waiting on my new bank account details with HSBC to come through, but am just unsure on one point.

I have a Northern Rock Together mortgage which includes £19,000 unsecured loan element. I had to get my dad's name on the mortgage as I wouldn't get accepted on my own, but I pay every month. CCCS have said that I have to add this loan into the DMP, but Northern Rock may go after my father as he is on the agreement. I can manage to pay this amount monthly to maintain my mortgage/loan but CCCS have said that I cannot prefer one lender to another. They have advised that my father could call up each month and pay the difference between the DMP payment and the expected payment. I am keen though for my parents not to know about the DMP though.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Can you not just ring up yourself every month and pay the difference? Or get a male friend to ring up?
