Redundancy and how to reduce payments to creditors for 6 months

Hi,

I am about to be made redundant and i have large debts, i barley have £200 a month to live on.
I would like to reduce my payments short term so 6 months and then review my situation again, is it best to approach my creditors and ask if they will review my situation and offer token payments or get involved with a debt management company and paid a reduced monthly fee, im going to be redundant very soon and will my creditors as per normal at the end of july but its from August where i will need the help as my last day is 31 july.

Thanks

Darren

    Hi Dazza

    you'd be best to post this on debt free wannabe board rather than this one.
    Don't trust a forum for advice. Get proper paid advice. Any advice given should always be checked
  • Have you no chance of finding a new job before your notice redundancy payment runs out?

    That’d normally cover a good few months, plenty of time to find something else before having to stop your payments.
