Hello there.

 

In short the answer is no. A DMP is a process which allows your existing creditors to be paid via affordable payments. You're not borrowing any more money.

 

Hope this helps!

Hi

 

Ive had a look around the internet but cant seem to get a straight answer for this question:

 

Is a debt management classed as a form of credit?

 

Many thanks

 

Not absolutely sure I understand the question. DMPs dont lend you money, therefore how could it be credit ?

 

You give them money and they arrange to pay your creditors for you !

You're not borrowing any more money, but you will pay out a lot more if you use one of these private companies to set up the dmp for you. If you are thinking of going down this route robnfc, then contact CCCS first as they are a charity and don't charge, all that you pay goes to pay off your creditors, not just a percentage.

 

So can PPI be sold on non credit products

 

As PPI stands for 'Payment Protection Insurance' then no it can't unless you are making regular payments to something and want protection in case you can no longer meet those payments. You can usually find a policy to cover just about anything if you are willing to pay the right premium maybe even your council tax or water bill.

Ok so if I was to try and reclaim the money, it would just be a straight forward PPI reclaim?

Well I signed up about 7 years ago, but I don't remember what the forms said or whether I agreed to PPI but I certainly didn't need or want it, like I say I didn't actually realise I was paying it until I got my final statement confirming all the account were cleared. I phoned them and they just blank refused to even discuss it saying that you were aware of the terms.

You could always send a Subject Access Request to GP - they should provide all the information regarding your dealings with them.

 

There is a SAR draft letter in the CAG library and the request will cost you £10.00 and GP will have 40 days to comply.
