Debt Management Workers or Fianancial advises if there are any out there.?

Question

Last year I had an accident and had to stop working since that Ive struggled to keep up on credit cards, 2 months ago I applied for debt management. The 1st months payment they keep as deposit and then the 2nd months payment is split between your creditors, 1 of the creditors has accepted the offer, but one of them wont leave me alone they are saying that I still owe this money whilst the debt management programme is being set up the problem is I have given all my money to this debt management company (DMC) that has told me they will call them and talk to them which I think they do. The problem is this company keep on sending me letters saying that I owe them this money and its got to a Credit Reference Agency. I have called my DMC who have said they are waiting for their first payment (due any day) then they will discuss future payments and that as long as Im making a payment I can afford theres nothing they can do is this true? Im being told one thing from DMC and another from Credit

Read "Total Money Makeover" by Dave Ramsey. Debt management companies are bad all around. They can get into more trouble than you can by yourself.
