Debt Managment

Any strategy that helps a debtor to repay or otherwise handle their debt better. Debt management may involve working with creditors to restructure debt or helping the debtor manage payments more effectively. A debtor may appeal to a debt management company if he/she does not know how to manage the debt himself/herself or if there is so much debt that outside management becomes necessary.

A debt management is a formal agreement between a debtor and a creditor that addresses the terms of an outstanding debt.[1] This commonly refers to a personal finance process of individuals addressing high consumer debt. Debt management plans help reduce outstanding, unsecured debts over time to help the debtor regain control of finances. The process can secure a lower overall interest rate, longer repayment terms, or an overall reduction in the debt itself
