Most countries adapt the debt management plan as a mode of payment for unsecured debts. Some unsecured debts have their monthly payments overdue, other substitute for a large percentage of a person’s total income while others even exceed income earned. A debt management plan involves a third party. The third party may do the following:
i.    Compiles some if not all of a person’s debt
ii.    Assess income earned  and budgets
iii.    Re-negotiates interest rates and payment plans with creditors.

It is important to note that not everyone is eligible for debt management plans. 

Debt management is usually carried out between the creditors and the debt management company. A debtor can opt to use those companies sponsored by the creditors or hire independent ones at a certain fee. The creditor is the only one who has the right to accept or reject the terms put forth by the debt managers. Since the debtor has no say in the repayment programs, most third parties draft a payment program that is within their client financial capabilities. The finances allotted to the debt management plans are what is left over after the payment of secured debts and other necessities. Every year, the creditors have to re-evaluate a debtor’s financial standings so as to ensure that the payment program is within their capability.

If you are working with debt management plan companies that charge fees for their services, you will be required to pay administration fees up-front. After that, they will charge a percentage of the payments being made to creditors. Sometimes the companies can enter someone into a program that is not after their best interest thus forcing them into bankruptcy.  Debtors with big debts are therefore advised to get their debt payment services from free or low fee companies.

The only kind of debts that are included in the debt management plans are the unsecured debts. All the other types of loans like mortgages are included in the monthly deductions made before the allocation of money into the debt repayment program.
