I hope so Cumbria i want shot of some smaller debts as i have 4 under the 300 pound mark.
I am a bit miffed as i have being on noddle for months and my credit score is not improving. I will be truthful i am on a debt management plan with stepchange and i am tempted to bin them. I have contemplated handling it myself.Cashback Earnings YTD £46.04 Survey Earnings YTD £182.66

Do your research and I am sure you can go self managed , first thing get shot of the 4 under £300 , if it doesn’t work out then you can always go back.
When I did a DMP with payplan , I didn’t know you could self managed and towards the end as I took a drop in salary of £5000 and was so frightened of not paying the monthly payment I used a credit card for the last months to make ends meet and got £2000 in debt ! Got a loan to pay it off , and so it started again!
Lesson learnt this time, would rather snowball payments .This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
Yeah thats my take on it Cumbria i have quite a few debts and step change are top weighting everything. My dmp has 5 years on it and it seems looking at it i will be paying 5 pound per month to some of my smaller debts for the next 5 years which is not really what i want.
I have just being on experian and even though i am on a dmp i have 11 accounts which are in default.Cashback Earnings YTD £46.04 Survey Earnings YTD £182.66

I’m a big fan of snowballing. Thats the route I took. I used to love looking at the snowball table each month after I updated it! Sad I know!
I reckon you’ll do £1500 in surveys - you’re the King of the Surveys!Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟
