Debt Management Plans
This is an informal arrangement between you and your creditors which allows you to repay your debts, at a rate that you can afford without relying on further borrowing. If during your DMP you are able to offer creditors a lump sum to settle your debts, it is possible to agree to discounted settlements.
A DMP is suitable if you are struggling to meet their minimum debt payments but have some surplus money available each month once you have paid all your household bills. Household bills includes “priority payments” which includes rent, mortgage and utilities plus something toward any arrears. Our advisors will assess your situation and determine if a debt management plan is suitable for you.
There are other solutions including IVA’s, Debt Relief Orders, Bankruptcy and Dealing Directly with your Creditors which may be appropriate. If you live in Scotland, the solutions are different, please visit Scottish Debt Solutions. For full debt advice and whether a DMP would be your best option, you can also speak to one of our advisors.

What is a Debt Management Plan?
A Debt Management Plan (DMP) is an informal arrangement between you and your creditors that allows you to repay your debts, normally in full, at a rate that you can afford without relying on further borrowing. If during your DMP you are able to offer creditors a lump sum to settle your debts, it is possible to agree on discounted settlements.

Debt Management Plans – Advantages and Disadvantages
Doing the right thing is only possible if a clear picture is available of the advantages and disadvantages of a Debt Management Plan. A debt management plan quickly gets your debts under control and relieves the stress of debt but there needs to be a long term plan to clear your debt.
Advantages
A Debt Management Plan is designed to allow you to pay what you can realistically afford to your creditors each month. Generally, creditors will agree to accept reduced payments and freeze or reduce interest charges.
- The major benefit that we find our clients appreciate is having us liaise and deal with all creditors and their correspondence. This includes dealing with phone calls, letters and takes away the stress of creditor interaction.
- Creditors may freeze interest and charges
- If you’re struggling to meet your normal payments to creditors, a DMP allows you to pay an affordable monthly contribution
- A DMP is flexible. You can terminate your plan at any time.
- A DMP is an informal solution and should ideally provide for you to clear your debt in less than 10 years. If the plan looks like it could take more than 10 years, a DMP may not be appropriate unless you feel your circumstances are likely to change which will enable you to clear your debt in a 10 year period.
- Creditors may stop further action. Our team are attentive and will work hard to ensure creditors do accept your plan.
Disadvantages
- A DMP is an informal debt solution and creditors are not obliged to freeze interest and charges. Some creditors may agree to reduce interest charges rather than freeze them. Continued charges could result in it taking longer and costing you more to repay your debts.
- As a DMP is an informal arrangement, there are certain debts such as arrears of council tax that cannot be included due to the risk of action against your assets. There are other solutions such as an IVA which can include arrears of priority bills.
- A DMP could have a negative impact on your credit file. Creditors can issue default notices which will remain on your credit file for 6 years. Your ability to obtain credit will be affected.
- You may from time to time receive an unwanted call from a creditor especially if they are using a debt recovery company. Politely tell them you are in a DMP and state our company name and your personal advisor. We will take care of the rest.
- We cannot guarantee that creditors will not take legal action or that they will stop collection activity. Such action could result in a judgment and could potentially lead to a charging order if you have a property.
- If you cancel your DMP, creditors could end payment arrangements previously agreed and charges could be reapplied to your debts.
