    Have they defaulted you? 

    How is your new SOA looking for the new budget? Have you begun to work out what you might have as a surplus to pay towards the debts? That's the next practical step really - but absolutely don't go making anyone any offers until such time as you know that a) the budget is definitely working and b) you have the defaults. (Otherwise you will end up with arrangement to pay or missed payment markers which will trash your credit file for longer.) 

    Remember - YOU are in control of this situation now, you don't HAVE the money to pay the full balance, so what they want is largely irrelevant!

    It's the default you're waiting for remember. 

    This is the time to be refining your budget - let the creditors do their thing, and resist the temptation to engage with offers - at least in part because until the revised SOA/budget is in place you still have no idea how much is available to offer!

    They are just going through a process. You need to wait for the defaults.

  • Past due are incessantly emailing me. 

    My worse luck continues. The 8 seater just failed it's mot. 

    My broken tooth now has an abcess and it's hurting me and I'm getting major jaw clenches form the antids

    Factor in my wife is really not coping with budgeting and saying "no" to events and overall what was going positive now feels like a sad trudge

    How much do they want to get the 8 seater through its mot?

    At least it will be properly spring soon so she can suggest some super cheap outdoor gatherings like during lockdown. I’m surprised no one from her friendship group has admitted to things being a bit tight themselves yet.

    What would happen at this pre-DMP point if you had to spend on your existing credit to get your car working again?
  • Mot was £50

    Failed on its jet washers. Waiting on a quote. 

    Whatever it is it'll be good shopping money thatll have to suffer as emergency fund went on the  other probs.

    In the past it'd have been a cc job
  • Daft question   but has everyone lost interest in my case??
