Will I end up paying for longer in a Debt Management Plan?

 
 

Usually, yes. This is because lower monthly repayments are negotiated on your behalf. So even though the debt will take longer to repay, the monthly repayments will be much easier for you to manage.

This is much better than continuing to struggle every month, having to miss payments and incurring additional charges.
