    Had a statement through from Natwest yesterday and I've been on my DMP since November 2014 and all was working fine until I looked and the cheeky beggars had charged me £42.75 this month interest when I pay just over £20 a month.

    I called and after being passed around for a bit they had no explanation and said they would refund my money!!! :j

    Hi
    I'm back.
    I was on this site a few years back mainly to give up alcohol. I was just burying my head about my debts ::o but have now taken control.
    My DMP starts on 1st July with Stepchange and I can't tell you how relieved I feel.
    My debt free date is quite a way off but I am determined to try and pay more as soon as I can.
    Can I please have a debt free wannabe number to add to my signature.
    Can't wait to read this thread and many others for debt free inspiration.
    Catch you soon
    Take care of you

    Hi Molly, I'm new too :) Our DMP starts on 1st September. It's scary, really scary but in the main I do feel really postive that I'm doing something productive. And especially that I now have a budget which includes everything for the first time - no more 'oh let's just stick it on the card'!

    Welcome mollypolly and triangle. Well done for taking your debt in hand, the future starts here.

    Growurown, I like 442. Thank you.

    Triangle, you're right. Having a number does that - makes me feel less alone too. I feel like I'm part of the fighting debt army, soldier no. 442
