Technically, yes, you can declare bankruptcy while on a debt management plan (DMP), but it’s often considered a last resort. Before taking that step, it’s worth understanding how it affects your current plan and long-term financial stability.
When you enroll in a debt management plan with a trusted company like Better Debt Solutions, your creditors agree to specific repayment terms—lower interest rates, waived fees, and structured monthly payments. Declaring bankruptcy while on a DMP would legally override those agreements, essentially ending your plan and damaging your credit for several years.
That’s why Better Debt Solutions always evaluates every client’s financial situation carefully before recommending a path. In many cases, debt management or settlement programs can help you achieve the same level of relief without declaring bankruptcy. These programs focus on restructuring payments and negotiating with creditors so you can manage debt affordably while protecting your credit profile.
