What is a Debt Management Plan?
A
Debt Management Plan (
DMP) is a straightforward payment plan designed to help you on your way to financial recovery.
In a
debt management plan, we talk with your creditors on your behalf and restructure your monthly repayments to an affordable amount.
Our
debt specialists will negotiate with your creditors and may be able to have your interest frozen and arrange breaks in your repayments. We will definitely cut your monthly repayments and help you regain control of your expenses.
How can a Debt Management Plan help me?
A
debt management plan allows you to make one reduced monthly payment based on what you can afford rather than what your creditors are demanding.
A reduced monthly payment makes it easier for you to stay on top of your finances, making day-to-day life much easier.
We take away the hassle of dealing with creditors. Once you start your
debt management plan we will deal directly with your creditors to arrange reduced payments and also handle any creditor enquiries on your behalf.
We will negotiate to try to get interest and charges reduced or frozen by your creditors. This can save you money as what you pay goes towards reducing your balance, rather than just paying off the interest.
What are the advantages of a Debt Management Plan?

debt management plan include:

What are the disadvantages of a Debt Management Plan?
