Trying to deal with debt on my own without the aid of Debt Counsellor or DMP

Has anyone else dealt with creditors directly? I have taken advice on my finaces and it has been recommended that I go into a Debt Payment Plan under the Debt Arrangement Scheme( Scotland)and I am toying with the idea. However, the advsior insists that I fling every debt into the pot when my main problem is cash flow over four payday loans. I have made a written offer to each of the lenders and the debts would be cleared, with full payment being made, in 14 months. The Debt Payment Plan would last over 3 years!! Has anybody dealt with payday lenders? If so can you recommend how I proceed?

    Hi there, if you'd like to repost in the IVA & DRO Board the lovely folk in there will be able to help and support you. Alternatively you could try the Debt Free Wannabe Board as you want to avoid the DAS.
