Im on a DMP with stepchange and they pay my creditors direct for me. Is it possible to make over payments to reduce debt when on a managed DMP?

Hummm, maybe then as its only really a short period of time till my debt is clear it would be more beneficial in the long run to maybe use any extra money I have and put it into a savings account......dunno what to dototal debt at LBM £4800

As another DMPer I'd be inclined to save it for unexpected emergencies particularly if it's for a short time.:)SCP # 034
