Can anyone enlighten me more about the ways and means of a DMP and is it, as I suspect, better than an IVA??

  • well it all depends on how much debt you have, if you have a dmp plan its not a legal agreement they may freeze interest for a period but ussally stop freezing interest through time , you will pay back all your debt but with a lower payment, with iva you pay back a smaller pence in the pound and usally over 5 years dmp could take 20ys years to pay off, then you cant take credit out for that period, so it may be rubbish to do this, with an iva its 5 years then you can repair your credit after 5 years or 20 years with a dmp, it all depends how much debt you have?? i remember some companies doing dnp for peeps in 50k of debt which is the worst option no credit and 50 years of payments ... get where im coming from?
