    In my CAB you can have an initial appointment within a week and then it's just a case of getting the Experian report (2-3 weeks if Christmas doesn't get in the way) and the client finding £90.

    coinx- that's your priority now - getting the £90 and (if you want to be helpful to your AI) a copy of your Experian report. I wouldn't pay any more to the creditors in your situation.

    At my CAB, as others have said, the only delay is either the client themselves (perhaps saving for fee or gathering information) or awaiting the experian report. I too have done a DRO on the same day I first met the client (they had already got their experian report with them)

    Get yourself over to the Oldstyle Moneysaving board and have a go at the Grocery Challenge and look at the threads, there are a lot of healthy meals on there and you don't have to spend a great deal. I feed a family of 5 and I have managed to cut right back but still feed them very healthy meals. Check out my signature to how well I am doing the last couple of months.

    Sorry will go back to my 'side', all the best for the future.
