Payplan emailed me today to confirm the amount outstanding IS £305.82.
This will be cleared by my final payment of £275.00 due on 2nd June 2013 and the extra payment of £30.82 I made this month.
Payplan will then run a final report BY 24 June 2013 to confirm both payments have been correctly allocated to my debts.
So I have approx 3 weeks till my last payment is made and 6 weeks till they check I am DF.
I hope this inspires you all that it is possible to get DF.0 -

Well I am 3 months in to my DMP. I thought we were doing OK, we had managed to save a little emergency fund then everything seemed to fall down around us. When we had bad weather last month our guttering fell down, it had to be replaced at a cost of £300 so that cleared us out.
Wev had one lot of road tax due last month and one lot this month as well as an MOT this week, im so praying it passes.
Im sure next year we will have saved for these things and other emergencies.
Im still really glad we have started the DMP as most of these things would normally have been put on credit, it really feels good to pay for them with real money even if it leaves us potless, It feels like we are in control for the first time in many years.
Its been so good to hear peoples sucess stories on here, they inspire me.
Some good news - we are getting married in a week and a half! Its very very low key, my dress and kids outfits are via ebay. I am making and decorating the cake myself and the party is at parents house in garden in marqui - it was allready arranged in honour of a significant birthday I have looming at the end of the month!
My best friend is doing me a spray tan and my nails.
Our biggest expense was the money we paid for the ceremony at the town hall. Its really important to me that we get married, my friend died suddenly last year, her affairs were left in a mess, I want some security for our family. And Im looking at it as cementing our future and the start of the rest of our lives and becoming secure and debt free.0 -
Congratulations on the forthcoming wedding, I hope you have a lovely day. I am sure you will enjoy the day far more knowing how hard you have worked to arrange it and it is all about celebrating with friends and family rather than going to the trouble and expense of a brash over the top do! Good luck and may I wish you a very happy future together.

Your DF journey is an inspiration to everyone on here and of course all your help and advice to all of us starting the DFW path. I do hope you will continue to stick around not only to update us so we can celebrate with you becoming DF but show us all it can be done. Well done on getting even closer to the final date.

Ouch on the guttering, fingers crossed for the MOT and congratulations for the wedding. Did someone say PARTY?
