<h1>Taking out a loan during a debt management plan (DMP)</h1>
It&rsquo;s probably against the terms of your <a href="https://www.moneywellness.com/dmp" rel="follow">debt management plan (DMP)</a> to take out a loan without speaking to your DMP provider first.
This is because - although it may be possible to get a loan during a DMP - it&rsquo;s not usually a good idea. Any spare income you have will be going towards paying off your existing debts. That means you&rsquo;re unlikely to be able to afford to take on extra borrowing.
If you&rsquo;re struggling to make ends meet on the budget agreed before starting your DMP, speak to your plan provider. They may be able to negotiate lower payments with your lenders.

Can I get a car loan during a debt management plan?

If you need to replace your car or buy a new one during your debt management plan, you may be considering a loan. It&rsquo;s important to speak to your DMP provider first. You may be breaking the terms of your DMP if you don&rsquo;t.
Your DMP provider will be able to go through your budget and make sure taking out a car loan is realistic and affordable.
As well as any loan repayments, they&rsquo;ll look at whether you&rsquo;ll be able to cover all the costs involved in running a car including:
<ul>
<li>fuel</li>
<li>insurance</li>
<li>road tax</li>
<li>MOT</li>
<li>servicing/repairs</li>
<li>breakdown cover</li>
</ul>

Most asked questions

What is a debt management plan?

Primary Orange 40

A debt management plan (DMP) is an agreement to pay off your debts at a rate you can afford. It&rsquo;s an informal agreement between you and your creditors to give you longer to pay back your non-priority debts (credit cards, loans, store cards, buy now pay later etc.)
You make one affordable monthly payment and this is divided between your creditors. If you come to us for your DMP, we&rsquo;ll deal with your creditors for you.
A debt management plan is not legally binding. This means you can cancel it at any time.

Is a DMP right for me?

A debt management plan might be right for you if you&rsquo;re struggling to keep up with your non-priority debt payments (credits cards, loans, store cards, buy now pay later etc.)
If you can&rsquo;t afford the amount you originally agreed to but you can pay something each month, a DMP could be the answer. A debt management plan can help with temporary and long-term payment problems
