Feel pretty good. Ive just spoken to stepchange and am now changing my debt management plan to them.
With regards to companies who fee charge.. Im shocked that the money I have paid to these companies over the last few months.. I could have paid off my debts quicker.
I officially love this boards.. its given me help and the lovely people who post on these boards too for the advice and reminds me that Im not alone.

Thanks.

    This is definitely the nicest board on the forum! It sounds like you've made a good move. Good luck with Stepchange and I hope seeing the level of your debt going down by every penny that you pay them gives you a lot of pleasure!

    :j Well done.

    Please take note all others with fee-charging companies or considering fee-charging companies.....StepChange or Payplan are the way forward.
