Debt Consolidation Loans
Swap several payments for one fixed loan and one due date.
ExploreA repayment plan built around what you can actually afford
A debt management plan repays your balances in full, but at reduced interest rates negotiated with each creditor and through one monthly payment. It suits people who can handle the principal but not the interest.
In plain terms
How debt management actually works
With a plan in place, you make one payment a month and it is distributed to every enrolled creditor. In exchange for a predictable repayment schedule, creditors commonly reduce interest rates and waive late or over-limit fees.
Because you repay the full principal, there is no tax bill on forgiven debt and the credit effect is milder than settlement. The trade-off is time and discipline: enrolled cards are usually closed, and missed payments can cancel the concessions.
A good fit if
- You can repay the principal, but the interest makes real progress impossible.
- You would rather repay in full than settle for less.
- You want to avoid the credit damage that settlement brings.
- Most of your debt is unsecured revolving credit spread across several creditors.
- You value one predictable payment and a firm end date.
Probably not right if
- Your income cannot cover full principal repayment within about five years.
- Your debts are mainly secured or tax-related, which plans do not cover.
- A consolidation loan would genuinely cost you less overall.
- You need the debt resolved much faster than a plan allows.

One payment, distributed
You make a single monthly payment, and it is passed on to each creditor on schedule.

Annual review
Once a year we revisit the plan against your income and adjust it if your situation has changed.
Honest comparison
The upside, and what it costs you
Every route has both. Anyone showing you only the first column is selling something.
| What it gives you | What it costs you |
|---|---|
| Interest rates are often reduced substantially | Takes three to five years of steady payments |
| Late and over-limit fees are frequently waived | Enrolled cards are usually closed for the duration |
| Collection calls generally stop once the plan is accepted | A missed payment can void creditor concessions |
| Principal is repaid in full, so no tax consequences | Does not reduce the principal you owe |
What it costs
Plans usually carry a modest setup fee and a small monthly administration fee. Both are capped by state rules and shown in writing before you enrol.
How long it takes
Creditor acceptance typically takes 30 to 60 days. Most plans then run three to five years, depending on your balances and payment.
Questions
Debt Management FAQs
Do all creditors have to agree?
No. Most major card issuers take part in management plans, but each creditor decides independently. We confirm which accounts are accepted before the plan starts.
Can I keep a credit card for emergencies?
Enrolled cards are usually closed. Some people keep one card outside the plan for emergencies; we talk through the risks of doing so.
Does a plan appear on my credit report?
Creditors may note that an account is being repaid through a plan. The effect is generally milder than settlement or bankruptcy.
