A debt management plan can provide you with some breathing space if your debt repayments have become overwhelming and you need time to sort out your financial situation.
The amount you pay to your debt management company every month will be calculated by looking at your overall income and expenditure. Your payments will be distributed amongst your creditors which mean that the pressure of phone calls chasing you for money will ease off and let you concentrate on getting your finances back on track.
In order to qualify for a debt management plan your debt should be at least £1,500. This should be between more than two creditors. It’s essential that you’ve got a regular income from which to meet your monthly repayments to your debt management company for them to then share amongst your creditors.
