FAQ

Q1: What is the meaning of debt management?

Ans: Debt management refers to a tailored strategy to help you repay outstanding debts and financial obligations without taking out a new loan. Credit counselling agencies often work with your creditors to create a plan that fits your financial situation, helping you manage and reduce your debt effectively.

Q2: Is a Debt Management Plan (DMP) a good idea?

Ans: A Debt Management Plan (DMP) can be beneficial if you’re struggling with debt. It consolidates multiple payments into one and may lower interest rates and fees. However, it can impact your credit score and take years to complete. Consult a financial advisor to see if it’s right for you.

Q3: What happens if I go into debt management?

Ans: If you go into debt management, a credit counselling agency will help you create a Debt Management Plan (DMP). Your debts will be consolidated into one monthly payment, often with reduced interest rates and waived fees. The agency will negotiate with your creditors on your behalf. This can make your debt more manageable, but it may impact your credit score and take several years to complete. You will need to stick to a strict budget and make regular payments until your debt is fully repaid.

Q4: How long does debt management take to set up?

Ans: Setting up a Debt Management Plan (DMP) typically takes 2 to 4 weeks. This includes an initial consultation with a credit counselling agency to assess your financial situation, creating a tailored plan, and negotiating with your creditors to reduce interest rates and waive fees. Once the creditors agree, your DMP is set up, and you can start making payments.

Q5: Can you keep a credit card on a debt management plan?

Ans: Most credit card issuers require accounts to be closed when entering a Debt Management Plan (DMP). It’s often best to contact your creditors first and request account closures. In some cases, you may be allowed to keep a card for emergencies or business purposes, but it’s important to ask about this before signing up for the DMP.
