Is there a way??

... of getting a payment plan up and running without it affecting your credit file?:confused:

  • If you mean any sort of plan where you make reduced payments, I think the short answer is pretty much no I'm afraid.

    You might be better off asking this on the DFW board, they have more experience of debt management plans and the like over there :)

    Scarlett is right I'm afraid. Any sort of payment plan that is not in line with the original agreement/contract invariably leads to or requires the lender to issue a default notice on the account.

    Perhaps you should talk to CCCS regarding the situation and options? If some sort of Debt Management Plan is needed, then they can arrange one without fees so that all the money goes towards the debts. They can also be successful sometimes in getting creditors to freeze interest which enables you to pay back much quicker.
