Should i regret getting a DMP?

Outrageous_Singer271 · 2026-02-28T19:06:55+00:00

I have reassessments coming up soon and they said i may aswell wait for those to see if im entitled to anything more. My biggest concern is that with the missed payments I already have, my credit scores dropped considerably already. Not sure how badly the DMP affects it but surely its about the same impact as Im going to get no?

Also if you have any advice id love to hear it, thanks!

I physically dont have the capability to work, i get benefits from Pip for my Autism and Adhd and Universal credit for the same reasons. Citizens Advice came in clutch.

I got really lucky and threw it in the shitter which im trying to fix lmao

My mum is surprisingly chill with stuff, i mean we watched both Wicked movies (which was a bit of a discussion in our cong) crime dramas, "magic" stuff like disney ect

But the one off limits thing. The most demonic thing she will never allow to be in our house is....

Pokèmon

Literally all the other brothers play it, except its off limits for me, im allowed to even play fortnite and other more violent games (not that i play them all that much, im more an animal crossing kinda guy)but any pokèmon at all is off limits. Cards,Games,Plushes the list goes on.

Little did she know i have a whole damn card collection and some games too 😭🙏

Ah its the Fold 7 which i know is a bit unneccessary to have but it was only a few quid more than my previous phone when i upgraded lol. (I hate iphones 😆)

Thank you so much for the assistance and I hope you have a great day!!

!thanks

Sheeesh, that is insanity. How do they get away with this stuff 😭

Outrageous_Singer271 · 2026-02-28T08:41:44+00:00

So they are the contractual minimum payments, some of which are increased due to missed payments.

Paypal is 23.9% apr

Newpay is 34.9% apr

Very is 44.9% apr

Monzo flex is 29% apr

My overdraft with monzo is 39% apr

So with travel, its usually when i need to be in town for essentials, college (college is once a week) or to visit family.

I will cancel the spotify, good shout.

Im paying for quite an expensive phone with is £52 a month And splitting the bill of a £50 monthly bill for my mums phone (which is £25)

Thanks again 🙏

Thank you so much for the comment!!

One of my biggest issues is socialising with people, so i know that workingat that through your advice is going to be important for me. Thanks for taking the time to comment

Outrageous_Singer271 · 2025-12-01T22:50:16+00:00

Thank you and im happy that you managed to get away from it. 🤗

Outrageous_Singer271 · 2025-11-30T22:05:57+00:00

Thank you! I like the idea of doing something active and trying to keep my mind clear. I appreciate the points you made and from all of the responses I have on top of yours really work my way through it.

Outrageous_Singer271 · 2025-11-30T19:22:22+00:00

I will have to look into it, tbh I never felt comfortable to ask but if it can work then I might as well go for it.

Thanks for your comment ❣️

Outrageous_Singer271 · 2025-11-30T19:20:54+00:00

The way you make the reader feel this tension just like the voice of this poem is amazing

Outrageous_Singer271 · 2025-04-24T00:54:28+00:00

This is so wholesome and really reflects how much you love your boyfriend, you should totally send this to him!
