Debt Management Plan - Advice

[benjwg1]

Hi..

 

So I have a few payday loan debts totaling more than what I can pay back.

 

I foolishly, so to speak, have been robbing peter to pay paul... Peter being a lender and paul being another lender...

 

I want to set up a DMP but one of the loans I have taken out I have not yet made any payments towards.

 

Is it possible that this will be declined or not accepted due to this reason? would the creditor have reason to not enter into a payment plan? would the DMP company not try if I havent made a payment?

 

Thanks for any help + advice.

Best thing would be to speak to someone like StepChange they will advise you what your best approach is

Hello there.

 

How much debt do you have in total?

 

It doesn't matter if you've not started making a payment on one of the loans so long as you can show that you're in financial difficulty.

 

Best wishes,

 

Seq.

Thanks for coming back to me.

 

Total debt including everything stands at £11,000.... debt going for a DMP would be £2000(unsecured)

 

Have not tried for professional advice from step change or anywhere like that as I do believe a DMP is my best bet.

 

I dont owe enough for anything more serious than a DMP but I owe too much for the creditors to negotiate a reasonable price with me (I have tried, set some up but just couldn't afford them)

 

Thx again.

 

Leaving office now, will check back later... thx

What is the other £9k debt for?

 

I'm not sure you'll get a third-party DMP for £2k - but it would be straight forward to do it youself.

I am confused by just what you mean. What exactly do you mean by a DMP? Are you talking about a do it yourself plan?

Hi

 

Just following on from others

 

Any chance of putting your Statement of Affairs?

 

A number of DMP providers have entry criteria you usually have to meet before they 'will take you on' so to speak.

 

If a DMP is appropriate then you may feel you can manage things yourself as more and more people are doing (depending on circumstances of course)

 

The CAB have a completely FREE online Debt Remedy resource and Self Administering Debt Management Plan System.

 

The CAB Debt management Plan system saves all your details, does all the letters, financial statements, has industry accepted expenditure guideline figures, you can return to review and update, you don't need an invite to use or amend anything, it is totally flexible, you are in charge.

 

The CAB system won the IMA best initiative award 2012 and is now being widely and successfully used.

 

An advantage of the CAB system is the recognised name of Citizens Advice as far as dealing with creditors is concerned with a significant and maybe game changing announcement now imminent.
