    Hi,

    I am with CCCS, I have found them to be helpful, and they can give advice on most situations/questions that I have.
    Debts at the start of my journey - about £23,000 lightbulb moment 01.03.2007 (1st payment to CCCS)..Debt Free Date 25.06.2013 Deposit savings £17,000/£30,000
  • Hi there,

    I have just started a DMP with Payplan and I have found them nothing but helpful. I have over 60K of debt and they have not in any way shape or form frowned upon me. Reassurance all the way along and there to answer any querie, no matter how small.

    Equally I know that CCCS are just as good so I don't think you will have a problem with either. I opted for payplan as couldn't get an appointment with CCCS for over 3 weeks when I called them and I needed to sort it sooner.

    Good luck xx
  • I'm with CCCS, set up my plan no problems, great advice, bit slow on contacting creditors (hassled from them every day, saying not received finacial statement) but I do understand CCCS overwelmed by callers. I'm very grateful to them for helping me out.
  • I have started a DMP with CCCS but my creditors have said they have not been contacted and still ask me for payment, of course they could be lieing.

    Payplan for me, abslutely incredible. Sorted things out, contacted creditors and when I was verbally abused on the phone by a couple of creditors listened to me and explained how it is not personal and the debtcollection people are just trained to get money out of you by saying what they know will strike the most fear into you. When things went a bit wrong at one point they stuck with us and sorted us out again. Can't thank them enough.

    Both are very good.
  • Payplan for me for my DMP. I think if you go with one of the 2 you will be Ok. As long as you dont go with the fee paying companies.

  • I have been with cccs for 2 years and have found them really helpful even when i had to decrease my monthly amount. :eek:
  • Thanks all for the advice
