Ive done it and contacted CCCS

hi, i have a DMP with the CCCS and they have been a great help, they clearly talk through your budget with you and even remind you of stuff like dentist, stamps, etc. Try to write all your outgoings before your interview so you have a rough idea what to tell them, i just looked at my bank statements!! Good luck with it, i should be debt free in 4 years and can still have a life on my DMP!!

For hobbies/going out though they only include £15 a month, although they'll give you as high as they can on other things that you might not spend as much on.

Thats great, does anyone have a copy of their budget they would like to share with me! It would be great to see how they work.

Are you aware of the trigger figures that they use? Look at this thread #50

Thanks Wondergirl. Pink - I apologise if I've given you a bum steer but I know Payplan use them, if they are not exactly the same they are very similar.
