    Hi. :)

    Getting a default notice is usually a matter of course in a DMP.

    It is a formal notice by the creditor that you have failed to keep to the terms of your agreement with them. In a DMP you will very often be paying less each month than your original agreement with the creditor requires, so a default will be pretty automatic in that case.

    See: FAQ - Questions about Debt Management
    Will I get a Default Notice?

    By entering into a DMP, your creditors can issue a default notice as you are defaulting on your original credit agreement. If you receive a default it doesn't automatically mean the creditor is going to take legal action. The default will appear on your credit file for 6 years from the date it was issued.
