DEBT MANAGEMENT PLAN
What is it?
A Debt Management Plan (DMP) is co-ordinated by a specialist company on your behalf and provides a structured repayment schedule for your unsecured debts.
Can I apply for a debt management plan?
If you have 3 or more creditors and can afford to pay at least £100 per month towards your debts you could consider a debt management plan.
What are the benefits?
- You send one payment each month to your debt management plan company and they send the appropriate amount to each individual creditor
- The debt management plan company handle all communication with your creditors and they negotiate repayments on your behalf
- The debt management plan company will attempt to have interest frozen on your accounts
- Day to day control of your debts is passed to the debt management plan company
Are there any disadvantages?
- Unlike with an Individual Voluntary Arrangement, you do not have any court protection and dissatisfied creditors may still continue legal action against you
- Creditors may not freeze interest on your accounts
- There is no 'end date' to your debt problems. A debt management plan should be considered a short-term solution.
Note - An IVA Individual Voluntary Arrangement solves each of these disadvantages
