Find out if a DMP is the right debt management solution for you.

As with any debt agreement, it’s important that you seek professional advice before committing.

What is a DMP?

A DMP is an informal agreement between you and your creditors to make a smaller, affordable monthly repayment towards your non-priority debts until they are fully repaid.

A DMP could be ideal if you want to repay your debts in full but need more time over which to repay them. All of your included debts are consolidated into a single monthly debt repayment based on what you can afford and not what you owe. The DMP agreement will continue until your debts are repaid in full or you breach the terms of the DMP agreement.

Being an informal agreement, details of your DMP will not appear on any public register (including your credit file although there are exceptions – see below), so the only people that will know about your DMP are the people that you tell, whether by choice or obligation.

Although DMP’s are not legally binding on you or your creditors, it is still important that you speak to a debt professional to ensure that you fully understand the implications of a DMP.

Credit rating – despite not being a formal agreement, your credit score could still be affected for a period of 6 years.
Only certain debts – only non-priority debts can be included in a DMP so all other debts will need to be dealt with separately.

Frequently asked questions.

Is a DMP suitable for me?

If you are able to repay your priority debts (such as rent, gas and electric) but struggle to maintain repayments for non-priority debts (such as bank loans and credit cards) and would just like to reduce your repayments and extend the period of time over which you repay, then a DMP could be the right debt repayment solution for you.

You should bear in mind that in a DMP you agree to repay your debts in full. So depending on the amount of debt that you have, and monthly repayment amount you can afford, your DMP could run for quite some considerable time.

Could there be an impact on my job?

Because a DMP is an informal solution it is unlikely to have any impact on your employment. However, to make sure that this is the case in your individual circumstance, it is important that you seek professional advice before you enter into a DMP.

Will my credit score be impacted?

Because a DMP is an informal agreement between you and your creditors, details of your DMP will not automatically be added to your credit file.

However, some creditors may request that a note be placed on your credit file stating that you have a DMP.

What fees apply?

Although the initial advice that we offer is completely free, fees will apply should you enter into a DMP. This is the case with all DMP providers due to the ongoing management of your account and repayments.

These fees are detailed in your DMP proposal and will be agreed by your creditors. Typically fees are included in your agreed affordable monthly repayment , not in addition to it.
