Debt Free - with Equity?

Hi All - Quick question. My house is now on the market and i should get £15,000 equity from it. Am i right in thinking that my creditors (debt totalling £30,000) will probably accept half the amounts as final settlements?

i think this is what the CCCS said and i heard it on spendaholics the other day. I am on a DMP.

Has anyone got any experience of this?

Thanks a million! :rolleyes:

    HOpe the sale went well. They might even accept less than this if the debts are old

    I think 50% is a good place to start with. They may well require a higher percentage though so don't get your hopes up too soon. :)
