A debt management plan is a simple and effective way to pay your non-priority debts (i.e. debts not secured against property, such as credit cards).
Your MRA debt counsellor will calculate how much you can afford to pay your non-priority debts after your priority debts have been taken into consideration. e.g. mortgage, utility bills, council tax etc.
Debt Management is the friendliest debt solution to your credit rating compared to IVAs or Bankruptcy. It does not have the same stigma. Having said that, if you have not been making the full contractual payments to your lenders then it is likely that your credit rating has already suffered. Once your debts have been repaid, your credit rating will start to heal itself.
I heard that it looks back on you overall. If you use their service it looks like you’re unable to manage your money yourself. I could be wrong.
