    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Are you still with Payplan?
    If so, tell them when you get demands and let Payplan deal with it.
    Is it a debt that's already covered by your DMP?

    Next question

    Do you own your property or do you rent it?

    It's very unlikely that CrapQuest would go through with it.:rolleyes:

    Do you want them to?

    In your thread from a while back you were considering going BR anyway?

    hi to all
    i have around 40k of credit cards debt all soley in my name, i have previously used a informal arrangement with all creditors, but now i have no surplus income but the creditors still hounding me with defaults threats of ccj and courts, i am tempted to apply for bankruptcy but i am concerned with acouple of things,
    firstly I am not named on our mortgage, but may be classed as having a financial interest in the property and my wifes mother bought her a car last year with a loan from her credit union, but the car is registered in my name soley for cheaper car insurance, i think it would be classed as a asset, would appreciate any advice, thanks

    Our house is in my wife's name only and I did consider BR before but was concerned about the consequences of it, I was using a formal agreement with my creditors
