Debt Management Planning - Release Yourself from Debt

Current data informs us that over fifty percent of the UK population entered into 2020 carrying some form of financial debt. Debt itself may take many forms, but broadly speaking we can divide it into two categories:

• Secured debt - This is debt secured with collateral. (Eg. mortgages)
• Unsecured debt - This is unsecured debt. (Eg. Credit cards, personal loans)

So, if we wish to rid ourselves of debt what is the most efficient way of paying it off? If you can’t afford to pay off all your debt in one go, you should prioritise the secured debts first. The secured debts carry with them more inherent personal financial risk to you, so it makes sense to clear these before tackling the unsecured debts. We may find ourselves in an unintended situation (loss of income for example), but fear not for help is available. Debt management companies such as Debt Support Service, exist to support you with information and guidance. They’ll help with budgeting calculations and together with you, formulate a plan that will help get you back on top of your finances, reducing your anxiety and allowing you to make positive steps forward. The best debt management advice is to seek out advice! A debt management advice service typically involves being assigned an advisor, who’ll then help you to create your personal debt management plan.

• What is a debt management plan?

A debt management plan will enable you to make one single monthly payment, that will then be distributed out between all your unsecured debts. This single payment is made by you each month to the company facilitating your debt management plan, who’ll, in turn, divide it out to pay your creditors each month.

• How can a debt management plan help me?

A debt management plan does much of the hard work for you. No more juggling acts or guesswork. By requiring just one monthly payment, you’ll know how much you need to pay in advance and exactly when you’ll need to pay it. The cost of borrowing should be less for you, because creditors typically freeze interest rates and penalties acquired by your debts. Crucially a debt management plan can empower you to manage your current debts without resorting to another loan, thereby adding to your financial burden.

• What are the benefits of a debt management plan?

1. Condense your payment into one regular monthly payment - giving you more control over your finances.
2. Helping you keep on top of bill payments.
3. Improve your credit score in the future by meeting your monthly payments
4. Creditors often agree to waive certain fees and lower interest rates as part of your plan
5. Fewer phone calls requesting payments.
