Debt Management Plans (DMP) in Manchester
A Debt Management Plan (DMP) is an informal agreement between you and your creditors to repay your debts at a reduced, manageable rate. Instead of juggling multiple payments, you make a single monthly payment which is distributed across your creditors.
For many people in Manchester, a DMP offers a flexible way to deal with debt without entering a formal insolvency solution.
Benefits of a Debt Management Plan (DMP)
What are the benefits of DMP? We’ve compiled a handy list of the main points below, click a heading to read more.
Only Pay What You Can Afford
You’ll only pay what you can afford to your creditors after we’ve put together a monthly household budget.
Include Your Household Bills
If you’ve fallen behind with your household bills you can add the arrears to your DMP to help get your accounts back up to date. You’ll still need to make your regular ongoing monthly payments.
One Monthly Payment
You’ll make one monthly payment and payments to your creditors will be managed for you.
Frozen Interest & Charges
Creditors can freeze interest and charges.
Creditors Dealt With On Your Behalf
You can have less contact with your creditors if you opt to use a third party as they will deal with them on your behalf.
Risks of DMP

Long Term & Credit Impact

Creditors Don’t Have To Agree
Your creditors don’t have to agree to your reduced payments, but your payments will still be sent anyway.
Frozen Charges & Interest Not Guaranteed
It’s not guaranteed that your creditors will freeze interest and charges.
Still Liable For Full Debt
You are still liable for your full debt level.
Creditors May Still Contact You
Your creditors are not obligated to stop contacting you, unlike other debt solutions like IVAs.
Reviewed Regularly
Your DMP will be regularly reviewed to make sure you’re paying what you can afford.
