Anyone on a DMP with CCCS?

Just a quick question here.

Do you all make your payment to them on the 1st of the month?

I have been told my DMP is now set up, and as above, they will take my first payment by direct debit on the 1st.

I'm not being ungrateful, but now I have a new basic bank account, I'm trying to get all my essential d/d's taken out as close to the 15th (my payday) as possible. Having the CCCS one come out is a bit awkward when trying to do a new weekly budget planner!

I'd rather they took the money either 2 weeks later, or two weeks earlier, not slap bang in the middle!

Like I said, just curious to see if they take everyone's payment on the 1st of each month making it easier for them?

Cheers for the help so far CCCS :beer:

    We make ours on the 10th but I think that's the only other date option I'm afraid.
  • Thanks, looks like it's staying as the 1st of the month, oh well.

  • Yep, we're the first. I think it was this date or one other.

  • We're the 10th.
    Ironically, the 1st would be better!

  • Anyone access their DMP online with CCCS?

    They said they would send me a letter with a password but nothing has come.

    Its hard for me to keep calling them as they operate 8am to 6pm, and thats when I'm usually on my way into work, then coming home :(

    No privacy at work and they haven't answered my email/s, but I know they are swamped....

  • Hi Rochdale_Guy! My OH accesses his CCCS DMP online - no problems with it at all. You can call them and ask them to call you back, at a convenient time, if that would be easier. Best of luck with it - my OH has never looked back.
