DMP remortgage

Good morning,
Please can someone point me in a positive direction?
We have been on a DMP since 2012 and have more than halved the original debt. My husband used to be self-employed but has been employed since 2015 and has now been offered promotion which would mean we would pass affordability quite easily. We have lived in our property for 24 years and would be looking at total indebtedness of around 65% if we managed to remortgage.
Is this an impossible dream? We would love to be able to wipe the slate clean and start again with our credit score.
Thank you for reading.

    I agree with amn, there should be a few options and potentially at high street rates. But it is one for a broker definitely.
