Debt Management

People get into debt for many reasons and the majority of people are not in a debt position for being reckless with credit cards or loans. In most cases people get into debt due to a change of circumstances such as losing their job, illness or a divorce or separation.


Services provided by Debt Stop Direct Ltd will incur charges please see our FAQ's for more information.

The cons of Debt Management
  • You remain liable to pay your debts until they are paid in full.
  • You may not be able to make reduced offers if your circumstances worsen and you can no longer afford your agreed monthly payments.
  • We can’t force creditors to accept your proposal or freeze interest. A plan is not binding on creditors who refuse to take part in it, but they can’t refuse to accept any payments made to them we will however use our vast experience to work towards agreements
  • Creditors could still take enforcement action against you, for example by getting a county court judgment
  • A plan can last for several years. However, some creditors may be prepared to freeze interest for only a shorter time. If interest and charges cannot be frozen for the full length of the plan, then the total amount you end up paying under the plan could be more than the original amount of your debts, and could extend the lifetime of the plan.
  • Your credit file can be effected for up to 6 years after the completion of the Debt Management plan
