Credit cards after dmp

Hi guys

I am currently in a dmp with stepchange which will be finished next month. Included in the plan there were 3 credit cards, one was paid off last month, one will be cleard this month and the other next month. I was just wondering what happens to these accounts once the balance has cleared. Only one has actually been defaulted. Do these accounts automatically close?

Thanks

Susan

  • I can't be sure, but I wouldn't imagine the CC companies would want them to keep going.

    Also, do you really think it is a good idea, to keep the cards, given the problems you have had?

    In your shoes, I'd close them all.

    Thanks, but I wasn't planning on keeping them open. I was just wondering if the company closes the account themselves or if I have to ask for it to be closed.
  • my hubby's account with Marbles was still open with a £5k available funds once his DMP was finished. Taken ages to get them to close it too.
