Below offers you some of the basic criteria that we will take into account when helping you decide if a Debt Management Plan is right for you.
1: Level of Unsecured Debt.
Debt Free would recommend that you have unsecured debt levels of over £5,000. If you are not sure of the exact figure that you owe (and you would be surprised by how many people don't), then the best thing to do is to get a up to date balance from all your unsecured lenders.
Examples of unsecured debt includes credit cards, store cards, unsecured loans and overdrafts.
2: Stable income.
It is important that you have a stable income, as a Debt Management Plan will require you to make regular payments to your creditors. Although a debt management plan is flexible which means you can alter your monthly payments should your circumstances change.
3: You are insolvent.
This means that you are no longer able to meet your current credit repayment obligations. As soon as you find yourself heading towards this situation you need to seek expert advice as soon as possible.
If you are struggling to meet your creditor repayments as they fall due then a Debt Management Plan is a great way to help you regain control of your finances. Please remember that secured loans, mortgages and priority debts cannot be included in your plan.
