    Hi there

    Could I please join in on this thread too?

    I have been on a DMP with CCCS which is due to finish next summer (or hopefully sooner).

    Unfortunately I won't become debt free then, as I have a secured First Plus loan which still has about £80k outstanding :eek: - thats on top of the £107k mortgage!!

    So basically I think I'm gonna be round a while lol :o

    Thankyou
    Suze :)

  • Had a surprise today, paid £63 overpayment on my tax credits and then they informed me i overpaid by £37?? i checked with 3 different people that i didnt owe anymore money despite being convinced i had £92 to pay, i got the names of 2 of them so if i get a letter saying i still owe money i will be disputing!

    SO for now, on to the next debt, cousins sofa we got on credit for heand she hasnt paid! Grrrrrrr, leant our lesson to NEVER do that again, 3 more payments of 135 to go but am aiming to do it in 2,

    Feels good to be one less debt free!

    There ya go! Welcome.
    Sorry they took a while; have had a horrendous week as one of my molars roots have been dying so been in agony. With help managed to sort it and Ill go back tomorrow! Was going back today but had a miragine...
    Money wise spent very little. Keeping myself busy making a quilt so no need to spend!

    Thanks for the number In search of me. Toothache really is pants isnt it?

    I've also been off this week and to stop myself spending money I've been concentrating on getting my seeds started as I have a big bit of land to turn into an allotment this year (bit scary as I've never grown anything before):o

    I am waiting to hear about some possible extra work covering maternity leave, which if I get it means I should be able to pay off my DMP by the end of this year :D

    Still here! plodding along with DMP! Car has had a light ping on for Emmissions so that will cost us some money!

    My maternity allowance has now stopped so am hoping my ex will start to pay me back what he owes me...
