How To Deal With Store Card Debt

If you’re feeling stuck with store card payments, you’re not alone. Missed deadlines, rising interest, and collection letters can quickly turn a simple account into a source of stress.

Some retailers may offer repayment plans, but if you’re managing several debts or falling behind elsewhere, a formal debt solution could make more sense. This might include a Debt Management Plan (DMP) to simplify what you owe, an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) to protect you from further action, or a Debt Relief Order (DRO) if your income and assets are limited.

Our team will help you weigh up the options, explain what each one involves, and support you in finding a plan that gives you space to move forward.

Store Card Debt Repayment Plan Options

Understanding the options available to deal with store card debt is the first step towards taking back control. Our goal is to help you find a manageable way to reduce the pressure and move forward with confidence.

What works best will depend on your circumstances, which is why one of our specialist advisers will take the time to talk it through with you and explain the routes available.

IVA

Individual Voluntary Arrangement

An IVA consolidates debts into one affordable plan, with some store card debt potentially written off.

DMP

Debt Management Plan

A repayment plan that combines debts into one monthly payment. Interest can be reduced or frozen, helping ease financial pressure.

DRO

Debt Relief Order

A debt reduction programme for those on low income. Certain debts can be cleared, with no ongoing payments required during the DRO.

I was hesitant in applying for an IVA, But my mind was put at ease on the first call. The whole process was explained to me with complete care and understanding and I didn’t feel judged at all. Since being accepted for the IVA my mental health has improved so much and I now don’t worry about how I am going to put food on the table each week.
