Debt Management Plan (DMP)

How we helped Steven

  • Credit cards
  • Debt collection agencies
  • Mobile phone contract

Steve owed more than £6,000 to eight different creditors. Over time, the debt became hard to manage, and some accounts were passed to a debt collection agency.

Steve has not been able to tell his partner about the debt and told us he was struggling to sleep.  

After speaking to MoneyPlus, Steve set up a Debt Management Plan. We worked with him to agree an affordable monthly payment of £100, which includes our management fee. All interest and charges on his included debts were frozen.

Steve is now two years into his plan, with four years and six months left to go. In his most recent annual review, he told us he feels happier and no longer worries about unexpected bailiff visits. He knows what he is paying each month and feels confident he can keep going.

Steven: Don’t be scared like you know, if you’re burying your head in the sand and it’s not going to go away, is it?

And if you’re struggling, talk to someone you know, once you take that first step, you’ll see you’ll and you’ll feel like there’s a weight that’s been lifted off your shoulders.

Can a Debt Management Plan protect me against bailiffs?

While a Debt Management Plan cannot guarantee that bailiffs will no longer come to your door, having an agreed repayment plan in place could help keep your assets safe.

As bailiffs are typically a last resort for lenders, setting up a Debt Management Plan is usually an indication that you plan to repay your debts, and should reduce the risk of legal force.
