Debt Management plan
Reduce your monthly outgoings with Debt Management
How DMP works
If
you can’t afford your monthly payments to credit cards, store cards,
loans and overdrafts, our debt management plan can replace them all with
a single affordable payment. We could possibly stop demands from
creditors and even reduce or freeze interest and charges on your debt
with creditor’s agreement.
Debt
management can be the easiest and quickest solution to your debt
problems. If you take out a debt management plan with us, we will review
your financial situation and determine the best repayment scheme
available to you. This means, how much you are able to pay over a
certain amount of time.
We
will then act on your behalf to negotiate these repayment terms to
every party you owe money to. This means you no longer have to deal with
creditors (the people you owe money to), bailiffs or anyone else
demanding money.
What a debt management plan
demonstrates to your creditors is that you are very serious and
committed to repaying your debts in full. It gives you peace of mind
that you are dealing with your debt problem in a structured way and can
now see the route forward to a debt free life.
Whilst
it is true that creditors are not bound by a debt management plan,
because it is not a legally binding agreement like an IVA, many of your
creditors prefer this type of arrangement because it reduces the cost of
their collections, and they get a better financial return than if you
enter an IVA or are declared bankrupt.
Allowing
us to set up your plan means we will handle all communications with
your creditors and if you do continue to get any letters in the mail,
simply forward them to us and we will deal with them. Our comprehensive
service means you no longer need to discuss your debts with a bank or
credit card company, instead you can relax with confidence – your
finances are under control.
How Debt Management Helps
Lower payments.
Payments
are based on disposable income once essential outgoings such as rent
and food are budgeted for. Many non-obvious items can be included as
essential living expenses, please contact us for full details.
One payment.
Less hassle, you pay us and we forward payments to your creditors.
No need for creditors to contact you.
You
can advise your creditors that NDC are dealing with your debts and you
may refer any correspondence from your creditors to us.
Flexibility.
If your financial circumstances change for the better or the worse, you may adjust payments accordingly.
No charges for late or missed payments.
Often we can achieve to have interest payments stopped at the point of entering the debt management plan.
No need to get involved in legal proceedings
Unlike an IVA, debt management is an informal agreement, not involving the courts nor requiring minimum debts.
Does not put your home at risk
Unlike
a secured debt consolidation loan, you do not run the risk of having
your home repossessed should you not be able to make payments.
