It generally involves dealing with a third part debt management company. This company will then be able to act on your behalf when talking to your creditors.
Many debt management companies will then let you make one monthly payment through themselves, instead of having to make a number of different payments to all your creditors. This can simplify all you payments each month making it much less likely that you will make a late payment through forgetfulness. You also know in advance exactly how much you need each month in one payment instead of having to add up all your different bills.
You may be thinking that another bill on top of those you already have is that last thing that you need.
However, it is likely that the debt management company would be much more effective than you alone at reducing your interest rates and monthly payments. If you're outgoings fall substantially each month the fee could be well worth paying. Make sure, though, that you take the fees into account when you get a quote.
Having a third party talk to your creditors can also be an advantage. Many people find it hard to call credit card companies and lenders that they are having problems with - it can be quite frustrating and upsetting. Having an experienced person do this for you can get you a better deal and get things sorted out much more easily.
