Hi,

 

We have a PDL which is not really affordable.

We had to borrow £500 due to unexpected bills etc and not enough money for food etc at Christmas so we took out this loan.

 

I know they charge extortionate interest rates which is fair enough but as we borrowed so much we had to have a longer repayment period (6 months) and in total we will be repaying over £1000!!

 

We are really struggling to repay this and yes we did know at the time and yes we did tick the box to say it is affordable but it means we are in the situation where we have run out of food and not enough money to get us through to each payday!

 

The repayments are reducing the amount we have to spend on food each month and with kids and pets and a roof to keep over our heads and no friends or family to help with money its proving hard!

 

Our credit file is shot due to our DMP so I don't know if they credit checked us or not but really they should not have lent to us.

Is there anything we can do??

 

We don't want to default and don't want another account on our dmp as we are trying to improve our credit files.

Most of our defaults drop off this year.

 

I guess I am wondering if we can manage to get through and keep up payments can we do anything about irresponsible lending?

 

I have health issues meaning I can't work so as a family it has been hard, hence the need for the PDL.

I am determined never to have to take out a PDL again so no judgement please.

Life is hard enough for me Im in pain every day and getting depressed about money and the fact we will NEVER pay off our DMP at £1 per creditor per month!!

 

Thanks for listening and any advice :)

hope you sent everyone on the plan a CCA request rather than blindly paying them?

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...
