Understanding Debt Management Programs
June 7, 2008 |
The amount of debt you find yourself in and your ability to pay will determine what type of debt repayment plan you use. One way to help reduce and eliminate your debts are through what’s known as a Debt Management Plan or DMP.
The debt management plan is best used when you find yourself in temporary debt problems i.e. if you feel your debts are likely to extend for anything up to 12 months then a DMP is not for you.
With a Debt Management Plan you strike up an informal agreement with your creditors, through a debt counsellor. Or you can also do this yourself and there are plenty of resources online that give you some advice and tips on how to negotiate with your creditors.
If you want to take on professional advice then you will have to pay around 15% of your regular payments along with some initial administration charges. What you need to decide is whether you are happy paying for a company to handle all the hassle associated with all creditors.
One drawback associated with a DMP is that it will show up on your credit file, which effectively means it could affect your ability to get credit at some stage in the future.
