Advice on DMP

Norfolk_Jim

Looks like we qualify for a grant to replace the boiler. Have sent all documents to Stepchange and contacted all my creditors. Haveset up a new bank account and saving account. Have recieved my budget from Stepchange - is there any point putting it on here for comment as its been worked out with Stepchange so that we save for things like dentists? Woud a debt free diary be appropriate? Feels like the calm before the storm - mood up and down - mostly down but now have a week off work and I feel that I really need it.

Nature of this board seems to have changed? Is most of the posting going on the debt free diary pages?

It's quieter than it used to be but there's a few of us still here.

A debt free diary works for many - I personally didn't bother, back in the day, because I tended to post in the DMP mutual support thread. That one tends to get more traffic and interaction. You may also find it a useful resource as you journey through your DMP.

Now SC have all the paperwork and will be writing to your creditors, you can expect a flurry of standard template letters - these are normal and par for the course, so nothing to worry about.

As long as the budget you set is sustainable, you can now sit back and just let the DMP run along and focus on more important things.

Have a great weekend N_J.
