    Hi there - I am not on a DMP, so don't know the realities of one, but just wanted to bump this thread up in the hope someone else can help.

    That's normal for Barclays - they'll pass it to Mercers who will probably accept the offer.

    Who's your DMP with?
  • Who's your DMP with? The best 2 tend to be CCCS or Payplan, both free which means you aren't paying some one to do the paperwork :D

    Banks take a dim view if your paying someone, they seem to think it's their money they may be right. Contact cccs or payplan it's probable not too late £25 in every £100: more towards your debt me thinks

    I would strongly advise going to one of the big 2 for your DMP.
    I set mine up with CCCS and have not had any problems at all and got agreements from all of my debts in place very quickly. CCCS and Payplan are recognised by nearly every company in the UK and thus the companies are more likely to deal with them fully.
    Obviously the other big plus is that they are both free to use as they are registered charities.
    I wish you luck.

    NO! DITCH THEM!

    Sorry if that was a bit in your face but I was trying to grab your attention. They will take a big fat chunk of your monthly payment to line their own pockets.

    Speak to the CCCS. They are a registered charity who won't ever charge you a penny. :)
