looking for a template letter for a dmp temp change

hi all


i have been on a dmp for about 12 months and its all settled now

unfourtantley this month i have had to bail my brother out and as such now can only afford token payments (ie a £1 each) to all creditors

i have already sent the £1 payments but am looking for a nice template i can use explaining that this is just a one off and i will be able to pay my usual dmp amounts next month

thanks in advance in reality this is probably simple enough i just cant get my head right at present.

thanks

    I've not seen a template, but I know the charities will do this on a DMP for unexpected/emergency costs such as car repairs/broken down car, broken white goods, change of job/payday etc.

    I don't know if they'd mention the reason for the reduction - as you are self-managed I'd probably be tempted to - I might not use the actual reason you've had to do it in this case.

    I'd just keep the letter fairly simple.
