    The ones you askd about...
    DWP = Department for Work and Pensions
    CCCS = Consumer Credit Counselling Service

    A few more I can think of...
    LBM = light bulb moment
    NDL = National Debt Line
    CCJ = county court judgement
    DMP = debt management plan
    IVA = individual voluntary arrangement
    OP = original post/poster
    OH = other half

    Not sure about which items you mean at the bottom of people posts, usually it is a summary of what people owe or maybe how thay are doing in one of the particular challenges that appear on this board.
