Hi guys, I try applying for DCP thru HSBC last year when product launch but rejected after BTI was below 12x. After that, has been following this thread for awhile. During this time, was always paying min to a few banks thinking as long I can meet the min payment, won’t have much issue but I was so wrong.
Every month like most Bros and sis here, after paying CC outstanding with some family expenses and daily expenses, saving is always empty. As a result, I have quit smoking and also cut down extensively on my expsenses.
Around end May, I decided to apply DCP and determine to be debt free once and for all!
I share with you guys my DCP application thru DBS last month.
NOA - 70k
Debt - 72k
Loan Tenture - 72 mths
CBS rating- EE (never late on paying my min sum and loans)
Interest - 6.99% (according to CSO AA to DD 3.98%, EE and below 6.99%)
3th June- applied DCP via DBS website.
4th June- CSO called and verify my eligibility.
6th June - submit all documents.
7th June - CSO called and say some documents was outdated.
11th June - resubmit some documents as was oversea since the last call from CSO.
13th June - CSO called and update he will be submitting my application as all documents are in order. CSO mentioned approval takes 5 to 7 working days.
20th June - CSO called and say my signature not tally as bank record and we did a phone verification to proceed with my application. (Some delay because of signature)
22th June - 5pm recieve SMS DCP approved at 5pm. Letter to follow in 2 to 3 working days.
26th June - Recieved letter informing me payment to other banks will take up to 9 working days.
28th June - payment to DBS personal loan cleared. Also recieved $800 cash back into my saving account.
4th July - recieve the CC for DCP and all CC fully cleared with excess balance.
Now I’m in the process at calling all the banks for interests waive and will ask for the excess balance to be send back to me.
After my DCP approved right on my payday, I’m finally able to save at least 1k for this month with some spare cash to buy a nice little gift for my kid today. I really regret I didn’t take up DCP earlier. I’m also quite lucky that I applied before the latest NOA arrived as latest NOA was 79K which I’m sure I will not be eligible for DCP again. I tell myself I will never ever again use these plastic cards.
Advice to bros & sis who need or applying DCP, don’t give up and keep trying. If you are having issue clearing your debt, apply DCP and go to dmp only if you can’t get DCP. Be discipline and never ever to go back to same old path be it overspending, gambling or use any future money. Always save for rainy days.
It’s always hard to take the 1st step to be debt free but if you never take the 1st step, you will never be free!
