Debt management for you

What does debt management mean to me? This is where we explain the advantages and disadvantages of using a debt management plan to manage your money problems.

Advantages of using a debt management plan

  • Debt management is an informal arrangement and so is flexible as you are not tied to a specified level of payment or period of time for repayments to your debts.
  • No waiting for appointments or drop in times. There is always someone to help when you want us.
  • Your payments are tailored to fit what you can afford to pay.
  • You make just one monthly payment.
  • We can take payments over the phone, and so can start to work for you immediately.
  • You make your payment on the day you choose that suits you best.
  • You have a dedicated highly skilled administrator working on your behalf.
  • There is no limit to the level of work we will do for you.
  • Your administrator deals with all your creditor correspondence and calls, saving you the time and hassle.
  • We deal with the paperwork should a creditor take legal action.
  • We negotiate with your creditors to freeze interest and charges.
  • We negotiate with creditors to accept our pro rata payments.
  • We provide pre paid envelopes for your use.
  • We support you throughout the life of the plan, taking away all the stress and giving you peace of mind.

Disadvantages of a debt management plan

  • The plan will be noted on your credit record and will affect your credit rating.
  • Your creditors may not freeze interest and charges.
  • It can sometimes take years to become debt free.
  • There is no guarantee that your creditors will not take action against you in the future.
  • A debt management programme is not a formal legal arrangement and creditors may not accept our pro rata payments.
