Hi Mike,
I have had the same problem and had it with Money 2004 too. I got 2006
hoping the problem would be resolved but found it still there. So I went to
the on-line chat support for help---although the final resolution was
discovered by me, I do not think they would have figured it out. It turns
out the debt planner is not to smart. When you set it up make sure that all
accounts do not have a next payment due date until the next month. For
example -- three accounts- today is July 23rd - when setting up the debt
planner all payments must be due Aug 1st at the earliest. Even if one of the
accounts still has one due July 31st. If say my Macy's account has a payment
due July 31st and the other two accounts are not due till Aug sometime then
the debt planner will come up with this crazy one time payment due July 31st
for the Macy's account and then resume the plan for August. What a bugger
since this has frustrated me for over a year now. Good luck!!

Nikki

Actually, not incorrect at all. His answer was to my analysis of his
original statement, that not filling in the debt limit may contribute to
problems in the DRP. He did not say that it was the only source. If you'll
read other threads in this forum, you'll find that is true.

I hate to burst your bubble, but INCORRECT! I've had the same problem for
months. I've tried all your suggestions, uninstalled/reinstalled, run the
file repair wizard. All to no avail. There appears to be a bug in the debt
planner.

I don't use the DRP but I infer from your statement that, if you haven't
even filled in the credit limit, Money will prioritize the payments to that
account until paid off because the credit limit is $0. That may explain the
behavior seen by some.

What version of Money?

Some versions don't like amortized debt such as car and mortgage loans to be
included. Also, it's critical that all accounts are open and under their
credit limit. Money will prioritize payments to accounts over the credit
limit.

I have the exact same problem, and have reset my planner, removed all bills
and recreated them... even deleted accounts I had in the plan. I still have a
first month's payment of $3000 no matter what I do.

Hi all,

I've tried to set up a debt reduction plan by moving my accounts into the
planner and then telling the planner that I don't want to make any extra
payments. The DRP then shows a payment schedule with $13,000.00 of extra
payments in the first month no matter how far out I stretch the payback
period.

I recently 'upgraded' from M01 to M05 and am running WinXP pro sp2.

Any thoughts?

TIA,

Mike W.
