What is a DMP?

A Debt Management Plan (DMP) is an informal debt solution that can be used to help you pay back what you owe at an affordable rate. A DMP will allow you to reduce monthly payments towards your debts to one affordable amount. This is done by negotiating reduced rates with your creditors based on your disposable income after completing a full breakdown of your current personal circumstances.

Key Facts Of A DMP
  • Unsecured debts like personal loans, overdrafts and credit cards can be included in a DMP
  • Priority debts, mortgages and so on are not typically included in a DMP and you should continue paying these as you would normally
  • Debts are repaid in one set monthly payment, divided between your creditors
  • Typically, a DMP is managed by a DMP provider who will deal with your creditors on your behalf
Is a DMP right for me?

If you’re struggling to keep up with loans and credit cards, a DMP may be able to help. They can also be beneficial if you prefer someone else to deal with your creditors on your behalf.

If you’d prefer to make one set payment each month to help you budget more effectively, a DMP may also help you do this.
