    I felt the same as you, with my level of debt there was no way I was ever going to be able to repay it so why worry, just concentrate on servicing the debt. More fool me. I am now much better off now that I am on a DMP, I have much more disposable income than before, and my debts are now reducing, albeit only slightly, and one day I will be debt free.

    If you set up a DMP, you could still continue with your unorthadox revenue stream, providing you can operate from a current balance. It will be clear within a few weeks whether it really is workable, because they will be nothing left masking the real situation (which is all too easily hidden when you are juggling several accounts in order to minimise interest rates).
