    Dottyanne, do you use CCCS or Payplan, or are you doing this DMP yourself?

    was with CCCS but now doing myself - thought id be able clear them a lot quicker than with CCCS and tbh ive had a bit of success doing it this way - the capquest (Egg Loan) is the largest of the debts we have and my original plan was to get all th rest paid off bar this and the money we owe my dad before then end of the year - im oging to do a spreadsheet at the weekend with all o/s balances and work through them. - even though im skint at the mo due to holiday i still think its doeable. (hopefully)!

    Dottyanne, have you paid for the holiday? Or just a deposit?

    Hi merlot - its been paid off in full, although i had to borrow some to pay off in time, if id cancelled woould have lost £500 deposit which we can ill afford - i know now in hindsight I shouldnt have booked it but again its done now and i cant take it back. I do these stupid things and live to regret it. Am saving free vouchers through work for the holiday next year so this WONT happen again...
