    If you have savings, why not look to pay off more than from the DMP?

    I'm struggling to think why you're still in a DMP if you have saved £30k in 3 years?!

    Yes, this seems staggeringly foolish to me.

    If you've been able to save £30k, pay it towards the DMP. If it doesn't clear it completely, it will get you further towards getting out of it.

    Does the DMP company know you have savings?
