- Credit cards
- Payday loans
- Catalogues
- By now, pay later
Rising living costs led Melissa to use credit cards and payday loans for everyday essentials. Over time, she had 10 debts with monthly payments of more than £730.
After getting debt advice from MoneyPlus, Melissa set up a Debt Management Plan. Her monthly payment reduced to £133, based on what she could afford. This includes a management fee.
MoneyPlus asked her creditors to consider freezing interest and charges. This helped stop her debts from increasing. Melissa now has one affordable monthly payment and a clear plan in place.

Melissa: Hi, my name is Melissa.
Before I got help I felt like I was drowning.
I just couldn’t see any other way out.
I was constantly overwhelmed.
Like half my wages were going on debts and they weren’t even going down.
I earned a decent wage but I just couldn’t move forward.
No holidays, no trees, just debt after working so hard.
But now I’m at ease, I know it’s being paid off.
Ignore the shame.
Just get help and start feeling better.
I tell anyone, don’t be scared.
There’s help there if you need it.

Alternatives to a Debt Management Plan or IVA

Protected Trust Deed
Available to eligible people living in Scotland, a Protected Trust Deed is a formal debt solution designed to ease the pressure of debts you can’t afford to repay. It combines these debts into a single monthly payment.

Debt Relief Order (DRO)
A DRO is an alternative to bankruptcy for people with debts of less than £50,000 and less than £75 a month in disposable income.

Debt Consolidation Loan
With a Debt Consolidation Loan, you can pay off all of the unsecured debts you have by making one monthly payment, instead of having to pay multiple creditors separately.

Administration Order
An Administration Order is a formal agreement that allows you to repay debts over a specified time period, typically 3 years. It’s available to people with at least 2 debts that total less than £5,000 and who have an unpaid County Court Judgement (CCJ).

Minimal Asset Process (MAP)
This is a scheme intended for people living in Scotland with few or no assets and without the disposable income they need to make debt repayments.

Bankruptcy
Usually seen as a last resort, Bankruptcy is a legal process and a type of insolvency that writes off debts you can’t afford to repay. It may be suitable for you if you can’t repay the money you owe in a reasonable amount of time.

Settlement
A Settlement involves making a lump sum payment to your creditors. This can either be a full and final settlement or a partial settlement.

Remortgage
By Remortgaging, you can renegotiate the terms of your current mortgage and release equity that may have built up in your property. You can use the lump sum this provides to pay off your outstanding debts and potentially to free up income.

Breathing Space
The Debt Respite Scheme, also known as Breathing Space, offers legal protection from action by creditors for up to 60 days. This includes the majority of enforcement actions, including adding interest and charges and making general contact.
95% of DMP customer debts had interest and charges frozen in 2024
