DMP question- Who to go with?

Hi All
Sorry if this been asked before, please feel free to direct me to relevant threads ;)
I have been on MSE for a long time but have re-registered as my username was very recognisable to people in forum land!

I have come to the not unexpected conclusion that I need to look at a DMP. I am on a reasonable income but due to some difficult personal circumstances I have let my credit card usage spiral out of control.

It has taken me two weeks to pluck up the courage to ring Christians against Poverty and guess what? They don't have a free appt until the end of December, what a sign of the times.

So how do I go about deciding who to go with?

  • The consumer credit counseling service are free, impartial and in my experience very helpful (google CCCS)

    You can do the initial assessment online and if you think it's right they could have it set up to make your first payment by the end of the month.
  • I went with CCCS, they have an excellent website (http://www.cccs.co.uk) with a great tool for working out the best way forward. You can also call them on their helpline, they are very helpful and supportive. Good luck.
  • Pay Plan are also free to use. They have an online section.
