What Is A Debt Management Plan (DMP)?
A Debt Management Plan (DMP) is an informal agreement between you and your unsecured creditors. It will normally allow you to negotiate lower repayments over a longer period but it’s important to recognise that and in some circumstances, you might end up owing more over time as interest accumulates.
Unlike an IVA, Debt Relief Order or Bankruptcy, with a Debt Management Plan your creditors are not legally obliged to agree to your proposal, freeze interest or suspend any pending legal action.
