A Debt Management Plan, also known as a DMP, is an informal solution designed to reduce your monthly payments towards multiple debts.
A Debt Management Plan is administered by a licensed Debt Management Company that will negotiate an affordable payment plan with creditors. Once an agreement has been reached with your creditors, you make one monthly payment, which is then distributed equally to your creditors by your Debt Management company.
A Debt Management Plan (DMP) is for people who have a bit of extra money left over each month after paying basic living costs. If you can pay your priority debts such as mortgage, rent and council tax but are struggling with paying off non-priority debts like credit cards and store cards, then a DMP may suit you.
Before you apply for any debt solution you should consider the advantages and disadvantages of the solution and how these may impact you. Our experts will be more than happy to walk you through these and explain them in detail.
