    no it shouldnt as long as it was sent the morning after, you could ring them and explain it might be a few hours late.
  • Hi Otters22

    You said you didn't get to the Post Office yesterday - do you usually make your payments around the 10th?

    The reason I'm asking is that when I started my DMP with CCCS in June, I paid by Transcash on the 12th. It wasn't showing in my account after a week, so I called CCCS in a terrible panic. They told me that they have to receive the payment by the 10th of the month in order for it to go out that month.

    My payment for June didn't go out that month and was carried over, so my creditors received a double payment in July. I did ring them all and explain, and they were all okay about it (no extra charges or anything added).

    I think you probably need to ring CCCS on Monday to make sure, but in the meantime, try not to worry too much.

    I always pay mine on 1st of the month.

    It could be that CCCS wont be able to split the payment in time for the amounts to go to creditors next week.

    Give them a ring on Monday.
