If you have a lot of debt and it feels like it's out of control or headed that way, you may want to consider enrolling in a debt management plan (DMP).

A debt management plan is basically a payment schedule wherein you pay a debt management/credit counseling agency to negotiate terms of repayment with certain of your creditors (credit card companies, etc.). Sometimes, the agency can get fees waived or payments reduced for you.Each month, you deposit money with the agency and they pay your creditors. Debt management planscan help people who are drowning in monthly debt, but they aren't free, and unscrupulous companies surface all the time, taking advantage of people in financial crises. It is important to learn about debt management plans before signing on to one. Here are some ways to do so.
