Remortgage whilst on a DMP - is it possible?

I currently have a DMP with Stepchange which has been running for almost 3 years and is due to complete in April 2020.
Our mortgage was with NRAM and then subsequently was bought out by Landmark. The deal is pretty pants and is costing us around £1000 a month @ 4.78%
We have around £50000 equity in the house as it stands and have no desire to move anytime soon.
I have researched the possibility of remortgaging which although is fairly restrictive due to being on a DMP it seems there are some lenders who may consider it.
I was wondering if anyone has any experience of this and what the likely LTV and interest rates may be. If I can get a better deal then I'm hoping to lump the difference between my current monthly payment and a new one into the DMP to clear the debt quicker. If I can release some of teh quity that would be even better but I want to clear debt rather than add.
Any input would be greatly received Thanks

You're best off finding a mortgage broker that specialises in adverse credit mortgages
Good luck0 -
I'm with keezing on this. I have a friend who works for a building society and basically she told me 'in confidence' that regardless of a borrower's affordability on paper -if someone states they are in a DMP they will not be considered for a mortgage. Now whether that's true in practice across the board or not, you need to look into mortgage lenders who are less risk adverse. Ultimately you may find that the deals on offer are less attractive than the one you are on - but worth investigating.0

You could just do a rate change with your current bank I believe.0
