The FAQ Section
A Debt Management Program (DMP) is a voluntary agreement between you, your creditors, and a non-profit credit counselling agency, often facilitated by referrals from professionals like The Oakman Group Inc.. In a DMP, your unsecured debts (like credit cards, lines of credit, and personal loans) are consolidated into a single, affordable monthly payment. The credit counselling agency negotiates with your creditors to potentially reduce or waive interest charges, allowing more of your payment to go towards the principal debt. This program offers structured help with debt repayment over a set period, typically up to five years, but can not assist with certain types debt like those to CRA.
Individuals who are struggling to keep up with multiple unsecured debts but have a stable income to repay the full principal amount of their debts over time may be suitable for a Debt Management Program. While The Oakman Group Inc. specializes in formal insolvency proceedings like a consumer proposal, we carefully assess your financial situation during a free consultation. If a DMP appears to be the best debt relief option for you, we will provide a referral to a trusted, non-profit credit counselling agency that administers these programs, ensuring you get the right help with debt.
The key difference between a Debt Management Program vs Consumer Proposal lies in their legal nature and debt reduction. A DMP is a voluntary agreement facilitated by a credit counselling agency, where you repay your debts in full, often with reduced interest. It is not legally binding on all creditors, and creditors are not obligated to stop collection actions. A Consumer Proposal, administered by a Licensed Insolvency Trustee like The Oakman Group Inc., is a legally binding offer to your creditors to pay back a portion of your unsecured debts, potentially leading to significant debt forgiveness. It provides immediate legal protection from creditors, including wage garnishments, and is binding on all unsecured creditors once accepted by a majority of the amount you owe.
