    Is your DMP with Stepchange, or one of the other debt charities?
    If so, ring and discuss with them.

    A little more info would be useful

    -> does the SOA above represent the situation AFTER loss of the 2nd job or before?

    if before how much is your income dropping?

    if after your outgoings are below your income, do you have £50 left at the end of the month? if not you need to work out where you're over spending and accurately track your budget as a starting point

    Why are there 3 adults in your house? how do they all contribute to costs/bills etc?
  • No thats with second income out and its 2adulrs and a child
  • Hi blashey,


    I didn't want to read and run.


    You sound very panicked. Go make a cuppa, and take a deep breath. Some lovely peeps will be along with excellent advice very shortly. (oops cross-posted - Dawn and JasX - you are lovely!)


    If you are on a DMP, the payments can be changed as your circumstances change. Please don't panic - Martin says that any situation can be resolved :)
