Debt Management Plan

An informal arrangement between a borrower and their creditors to repay debts at a reduced monthly rate that reflects what the borrower can genuinely afford. Debt Management Plans are usually set up by free debt charities such as StepChange or the National Debtline. While not legally binding, most creditors agree to freeze interest and charges during the plan period.
