What is a Debt Management Program (DMP)?

A Debt Management Program (DMP) is a structured repayment program designed to help you pay off unsecured debts like credit cards, personal loans, or medical bills. It simplifies your financial life by consolidating multiple debts into a single monthly payment and helps to arrange lower interest rates or payments with your creditors. Offered by nonprofit credit counseling agencies like GreenPath, DMPs aim to make repaying your debt more manageable over time.


Who is a DMP Best For?

A DMP might be the right choice for you if you:

  • Struggle to manage multiple unsecured debts, like credit cards or personal loans.

  • Need support arranging lower interest rates and fees to lighten your financial load.

  • Want a structured plan to help you become debt-free within a few years.

  • Have a steady income to commit to regular monthly payments.

  • Wish to avoid bankruptcy but need serious debt relief.

Will a DMP affect my credit score?

When you enroll in a DMP, GreenPath won’t contact credit bureaus. However, closing your credit lines may lead to a temporary dip in your score. The good news? Most people see their scores improve over time by consistently making full, on-time payments each month.

Can I still use my credit cards during a DMP?

Most DMPs require you to close your credit card accounts to prevent accumulating more debt. This helps you stay focused on repaying your existing debts.

Are there fees involved in a DMP?

Fees can vary based on your state and the amount of debt you have. On average, GreenPath clients are charged a one-time enrollment fee of $35 and a $28 monthly fee. This is typically small compared to the savings from waived late fees, waived over-limit fees, and reduced interest rates.
