    auntie pie - welcome !
    A dmp is a Debt management plan,
    After working out your income and expenditure by following a specific budget, your creditors are then paid a pro rata proportion of your excess income.
    Dmp's are usually managed by a third party ie CCCS or Payplan ( these companies do it for free) although you can do it yourself.

    If they're anything like Citibank, there will be a number for new accounts on some of the paperwork you got - I'd just give 'em a bell to see.

    Thanks joek - I will hunt out the number tomorrow and give them a ring.:T
    I basically want the account to stash any extra money eg carboots,ebay etc

    Morning everyone, hope we are all ok.
    You sound very possitive this morning newlywed.
    When we first started the dmp it was the most worrying time i have ever been through, but it felt like a huge weight had been lifted once we got underway with it.
    It was the best thing we have ever done.
    Im sure it will be for you too

    Morning all!

    Good news for me - received my Citibank card in the post! Finally!. Set up all the online banking.

    Lovely to have an account which is 'clean'!

    Hope everyone has a good day.
