Is a Debt
Management Plan right for you?
A Debt Management Plan (DMP) might be just what you
need to get your finances back on track. But it isn't
suitable for everyone, so it is really important that
we spend the time with you to make sure a Debt debt
management plan is right for you.
We spend time to properly establish the
true extent of your personal or household debt and to
discuss with you whether a DMP is the best option for
you or whether other options such as bankruptcy or an
Individual
Voluntary Arrangement-IVA (or Trust Deed in Scotland)
might be a better option.
Always remember that we are here to help
you. This means we will only offer a DMP if we think
this is the best plan for you and this reflects your
personal preferences.
On average, our clients have 8 creditors
and around £20,500 of unsecured debt, though it
is not uncommon to see clients with over 20 creditors
and £100,000 of debt. We will assist anyone with
more than £3,000 of debt with 3 or more Creditors.
As a general guideline we require you to be able to
find at least £85 towards your DMP each month
after allowing for all your income and expenditure,
though we will take account of special circumstances
and situations where we need to allow for repayment
of arrears to priority creditors.
We routinely deal with clients that are
self-employed, retired or on benefits. Please remember
that you are submitting details for a no obligation
assessment, there is no requirement for any credit checks
to be acarried out and your information will be treated,
and remain, confidential and in strict accordance with
our Data Protection remit. You will be given free,
clear, concise and ethical advice about your debts.
