Can define "almost paid"?
Our friend's situation are totally different, longest still need 4 years.
That time my car need only around RM 1000 for the loan to be fully paid. And the credit card was around RM500. Early in the session, they told me better if I sold off the car if I couldn't afford the payment. I told them that since the balance so small and I have an upcoming payment that can clear both debt soon, I prefer that it would be left out from the debt management program.
IINM this is what I have when I went to register for the DMP program
Car loan - RM1000 (around 6 months worth of installment)
Motorbike loan - RM2000 (around 10 months worth of installment)
Credit card (1) - RM 500
Credit card (2) - RM 5000
Personal loan (1) - RM 4000 (2 years left)
Personal loan (2) - RM 4000 (2 years left)
Personal loan (3) - RM 8000 (4 years left)
Personal loan (4) - RM 12000 (4 years left)
After the discussion with the officer, I exclude my car loan, motorbike loan and CC1 from the DMP. Car loan and CC1 I make a full settlement before I start the DMP. The motorbike loan is under my name but other people are paying for it (helping a friend buy a bike). So no problem with it. In the end, I restructure the payment for the 4 personal loan and CC2. Instad of paying RM1.2k+ per month, down to RM 610 per month. This June, I'll be exactly 2 years under the DMP. No hassle nor headache from debt collectors anymore.
