Hi All,

I’m new here. Feeling so devastated that my application is rejected by HSBC. Applied through Hsbc CSO, application sent yesterday afternoon before 1.30pm and on the same day evening before 6pm, I received the sms via message it is not approved… sigh… feel so lost now….. :(

Credit report from DD generated on 18/6 and I check yesterday night becoming EE… sighx10 😭😭😭
Don't be discouraged, we all went through this. My application was approved the second time round. Apply with another bank and just wait. Good luck.

Hi, thanks for the encouragement.
Your application for the second time round, is an appeal with the same bank? Or concurrently you applied with other bank?

can apply same bank twice? how long u wait until u apply 2nd time? i feeling very lost right now
How long have you been applying? I just started to apply last week. First with hsbc, rejected on the same evening when i apply. Now i trying with UOB… the CSO called me today and ask me to send in my 3 months payslip with my signature on it to their generic email. So still pending appeal from HSBC and UOB reply. Fingers crossed it will be successful.

My credit report from DD became EE - just like overnight, the rating change after the banks check it. 😭😭😭

Same bank, had to lower my outstanding by $12K before I applied again. Amount too high for DCP. Applied three weeks later after lowering my outstanding.

Hello everyone, I had been here maybe 10 years back and one the the first to be started on DCP back then.

Story short... had a debt total of about near 90k and was put on RAS at first. Then I applied for DCP when it started with Maybank got approved and paid for 1 year+.

Then I saw we could do refinancing and I applied and got approved with HSBC for a slightly longer term and less payment monthly.

Another year passed with me paying but then I lost my job and could not pay. With 3 months of non payments, HSBC terminated my DCP. Of course, I was informing them of my situation and somehow managed to work out a payment scheme with them. I am now towards the last payment balance around 4k left.

Take note that my CBS is HH during this whole time and no banks will approve any credit facilities.

All the best to all brothers and sisters on the DCP path! remember discipline is very important.

Dear All

Good luck to all bros, sis who is trying for the dcp application. Never give up!

Apply for DMP before the banks decide to ask for full settlements. Good luck

annual income is around 45k

and the debt is spread across like 2 credit card and 3 personal loan

feeling super messy to pay up every month, and i just wan to quit the credit card and getting lure into their split purchase

thinking of just keeping one credit card and pay off the debt in 1 account. monthly 400 or 500 no problem

just apply from SCB, hopefully they can get me approve

Hi all, nothing to do with DMP. but I have received this sms from bank

- Avoid the suspension of your credit card(s) and unsecured credit facilities on (date) by reducing the total outstanding balance on your account(s). Visit website > Help & Support > Credit Card > Account Suspension > Customer overlimit for more information.

So what do I need to do now... Do I need to just update income records with my bank? So my total limit will not exceed the 4x monthly income with this bank?

If your new annual income exceeds the bank's limit by a lot, do so and quickly pay off the outstanding. If not, apply for DCP or etc before banks suspend your cards and demand payment.

Does anyone know how to refinance DCP with another bank for shorter tenure and lower overall interest?

The current balance I have is the principal+total interest over 6 years initially.

I want to restructure it to pay off in ~3 years as my salary has improved but I am afraid that if I restructure with another bank to shorter tenure, my current bank will charge the full principal+interest over 6 years to the new bank, resulting in no interest savings but with higher payment each month

interesting that i received a letter from DBS to invite me to apply for reinstatement of my accounts (but ultimately subject to approval from the bank). this is for people who have their accounts suspended due to the following :
  1. Your total interest-bearing outstanding balances1 on all unsecured credit facilities with all financial institutions in Singapore exceed the industry-wide borrowing limit2 for 3 consecutive months; or
  2. At least one of your credit cards or unsecured credit facility is 60 days or more past due.
  3. Have existing Debt Consolidation Plan or Repayment Assistance Scheme (RAS)

lets see how this goes!
