    Welcome back (whoever you are).  :)

    When were the accounts opened?
    Debts – why, how & when to ask for the CCA agreement



    People get mortgages all the time whilst being on a DMP.

    Just find yourself a good mortgage broker who specialises in adverse credit files.  :)

    I work within the voluntary sector, supporting vulnerable people to rebuild their lives.

    I love my job

    Thanks for the welcome. 

    The oldest debt is from 2013 with the majority being built up fairly quickly in early 2014. I have a feeling I was missold at least some of the later loans as I certainly wasn't able to afford them, but not sure of that's worth looking into as none were payday loans. 

    And thanks for the reassurance about mortgages, I was worried that i would be forever renting at this rate!
