My monthly bills/ outgoings are more than payplan allows you to have. Their monthly allowances for certain items is unrealistic - making my monthly surplus more than it actually is! I have worked out how much I can pay but I know they will refuse to except this. Is there anything I can do, other than to make them my monthly increase offer and tell them it's all I'm willing to pay each month (can I do this?)

You cant just tell them what you are going to pay but any good company should look to amend your payments if they have been set incorrectly. They should be able to amend your payments by up to 15% without formally going to your creditors. There are representatives on here from Payplan so maybe they can come on and assist you with this as you shouldn't be penalised if your actual fixed bills are higher then they have allowed for. Let us know how you get on.

We had the same problem with GT at our last I&E review, they reduced the amounts we had put down and said they were governed by the CCCS guidelines on expenditure and their was nothing they could do to change them, they also amended our income figures....
I found GT to be very flexible and understanding over my I&E. I guess, as with, it seems, many firms, the outcome depends very much on who you are speaking to, as, unlike the more "hands on" firms the IP probably never sees the case anyway !
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
IVA Completed 23rd July 2013 .... C.C. 10th January 2014
Is it possible to fudge the figures? Where your over, reduce them and add the difference to figures you're lower on? I know CCCS done this on our original budget so don't see why PayPlan can't do the same.
