I am currently with Step change and i am currently doing a Token Offer Payment of £1 per month to my 14 creditors. I am trying to put away any money i can for a F&F offer. I'm not sure what i should offer to each creditor. All debts are over 2 years old and defaulted a while ago.

how much money do you have to play with?The only people I have to answer to are my beautiful babies aged 8 and 50 -
I don't have a huge amount I was hoping to clear a debt or 2 a month, I can max it to around 400 a month0

go in at 20%
offer it to all the ones under £1000 at the same time IN WRITING include an income and expenditure form to show you can afford £1 per month per creditor - offer the over £1000 - £1 per month as you will need to save to pay those ones off
start putting that £400 a month aside until you start getting responses
use the stepchange website for your income and expenditure as this shows you the acceptable limits when you are entering the figures
any that agree pay them any that dont set up a £1 per month PP and then saveThe only people I have to answer to are my beautiful babies aged 8 and 50 -
Agree with double mummy. A lot of your debts are 'small', at least in the eyes of the lenders so that means they have a little debt to deal with and that costs them the same as a big debt to chase. So they will be keen to get something back and close it off. Go in at 20% and make it clear there is no wiggle room and the offer is time limited. If they say no, keep saving and try a bit higher in 6 months time, say 25%. You will be paying very little, your credit file is gradually getting towards being clear and you can earn interest on your savings. The longer you are paying them £1 a month, the more likely they are to take a low offer.0
