Bank managed loan advice needed

Hi has anyone else done a managed loan through their bank?
Basically i telephoned my bank as i am currently paying £275.00 a month (40 months left) and have a £750.00 overdraft with them. I also have other debts with other companys totalling £6157.00.
I looked into doing a dmp but i have been offered a managed loan to pay off my loan and overdraft at £155.00 a month for 80 months with the option to pay more off if i can afford to. I will be paying them a total of 12400.00 back so i am been charged 1080.00 and doubling the length of the time.
Do you think this is the best thing for me to do or is a dmp the best option?????
Thank you

Are you able to meet your minimum payments right now, or almost?
If so you could post up a statement of affaird and we'll try to see if there are any other savings you could make.

What is the interest rate of the loan?
Just about any time someone asks if they should take a managed loan, our advice is RUN. If the interest rate is really good then it may be worth considering, but i doubt it.After falling off the gambling wagon (twice): £33,600 (24,000+ 9,600) - Original CC Debt: £7,885.91
Dad Gift 6k ¦ Savings & Inv Tst: £2,500
Loan 10k: £0 ¦ Dad 5.5k: £2,270 ¦ LTSB: £0 ¦ RBS: £0 ¦ Virgin £0 ¦ Egg £0
Total Owed: £2,270 (+6k) 11/08/20110
