    If you mean statute barred, that's only if you've not acknowledged the debt in any way for 6 years. As they're in your DMP that won't be the case.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
  • Do you need the car, could you sell it to help reduce your monthly outgoings?

    Sorry I am not familiar with DMPs, there will be others who can help you.
    Started out with nothing, still got most of it left.

    Hi yes need the car plus outstanding finance £8500.Car valued at £7000.:(
  • Please just call Payplan and let them know, you won’t be in any bother.

    DMP case officers will simply add the creditors and amend the budget or send your file to the assessment department for checking to ensure you’re still in the best solution. Either way, it’s better to give them a ring or an email ASAP before you struggle any further

    I have been in a DMP with Stepchange for many years and still have eighteen months left to go.I didn't want to file for bankruptcy as I worked for the MoD.I'm sure that there are many more of us who have plodded away for a very long time,chipping away at the balance and seeing it reduce every month.You have to do whatever 's the best option for you.Stepchange will help you.
