Learn about Debt Management Plans

A debt management plan is an informal arrangement between you and your creditors to pay back the debt you owe them in more affordable amounts.

Are there any alternatives to a Debt Management Plan?

Depending on your financial situation there may be other debt management options available to you:

  • IVAs are an alternative for people with larger amounts of debt who may be eligible to write off a portion of their debt.
  • Trust Deeds are very similar to IVAs in the way they work, but they are only available to residents of Scotland.
  • Bankruptcy - this should really be the last resort as it has the most significant impact on your future earnings and credit rating.
  • A Debt Relief Order, which is similar to Bankruptcy, is designed for people with less than £15,000 of debt, very low monthly disposable income and few assets to sell.
