i managed to rent somewhere else all very good so far! but i then i became a grandma 2x and what with that buying stuff for new grandchildren and stuff for my home Ive run up a 1,000 . debt i know stupid:o :o but i have depression, fibromyalgia asthma epilepsy and panic attacks no excuse i know but it does cheer me up to make others happy , but I'm know being treated for my depression again , and am beginning to see things a bit more clearly , what i wanted to know will ccccs throw me off the plan ?

    Oh bless you (((hugs)))). I'm sure others will be along soon enough on here but it seems that while you are feeling strong enough, might it worth calling CCCS and explaining?
    It's very hard I know but I'm sure they will understand - I was thrown out of my house not once but twice with little more than I stood up in 10 years ago and if I'd known at the time how much help was out there, I would have snapped people's hands off!
    You aren't alone remember - there are plenty of people and organisations out there who will help you and not judge you. Even the peeps on here will help you as much as they can......
    Very often we judge ourselves too harshly - don't do that as life is hard enough as it is without putting the boot into yourself as well!
    Take care now

    you can go to Payplan
  • bluebell -If you feel up to self managing your DMP it can be quite therapeutic -anyone who has done it will tell you that it is really empowering to sort it out yourself.If you don't feel able to do that then there is always payplan or the CAB. Whatever you decide you can always get help by posting on here -you will get loads of support.

    I'm not sure if your ceditors will question the fact that payments will be different. I would get everything down on paper and then phone them.
