cccs helping me get there

Hi everyone. Just want to share with you all that I have entered a 'new phase' of dealing with my debt and it's feeling good! I've been in touch with the cccs, I am going onto a DMP with them and as it stands, with my income as it is (and I think things can only get better) I will pay my debts at an afordable £90 per month for the next 12 years. Yes, 12 years is a long time, but hey, as I said, things can only get better, my low income is just a blip until I can get back to full-time work, so I am feeling positive about it. I am facing it. It's been a long process to get to this stage (about a year since I began to face my debts) and it'll be a long process paying it, but I will and it'll feel good to have it all behind me. I'm glad I didn't declare bankcruptcy. This site has, and still is, helping enormously. Thank you!
