Dmp

I am currently in a DMP with angel advance. Someone suggested you can go it alone and deal directly with your creditors. Can anyone offer advice or guidance regarding this option.
Thank you

    Ditch them immediately, the money you are paying them could be paying off your debt,


    You simply contact your creditors and tell them to deal with you and you will continue the same arrangement,


    Or go to stepchange who wont charge you for the same thing

    Hi,

    Any of the free debt charities in my signature will set up a DMP for you, completely free of any charge whatsoever.

    Or,

    You can self manage one, which again, is real easy to do.

    Ditch the fee charging DMC immediately, you are just wasting your money using them.

    Some info here from one of the best sites around :
