I made a move and called cccs.Well if I pay £500 a month we should be debt free in 8 years.

But I have a question to all of you who already are under debt managemnt plans.

    Welcome to MSE ~ its good to see that you are only ready on the home straght of being debt free.

    I, for one, however wouldn't advise taking out any more credit agreements until you are in a much better financial situation.

    If you look at the top of the board there is a newbies guide to DFW. Have a look through and then post your SOA (statement of affairs) ~ there could be plenty of ways for you to cut back.

  • I think that DMPs stop you taking out anymore credit so it will probably be a no for the new car, but do you really want to drag your debt free date further and further away?
