Feeling The Strain Of Your American Express Card?
American Express credit cards can offer flexibility when you need it, but when interest piles on and repayments barely scratch the surface, that flexibility can quickly become a financial labyrinth. If your balance isn’t shifting or payments are becoming a source of stress, now might be the right moment to pause and delve into your options.
At PennyPlan, we understand that credit card debt isn’t just numbers, it’s part of the wider mosaic of life’s pressures. Our advisors take the time to listen, untangle the situation, and help you find a way forward that feels manageable.

What Happens If I Don’t Pay My American Express Credit Card?
Missing payments on your American Express credit card can lead to added interest, late fees, and a growing balance that becomes harder to manage over time. You might receive reminder letters or calls, and your account could be suspended if the debt remains unpaid.
In some cases, American Express may pass your account to a debt collection agency or begin legal action, such as applying for a County Court Judgment (CCJ). This can affect your credit file and limit your ability to borrow in future.
The sooner you get support, the more control you’ll have over the situation. At PennyPlan, we’ll help you understand what’s happening and guide you through your next steps.

Managing American Express Credit Card Debt
American Express debt can build up fast, particularly when high interest rates make it harder to reduce the balance each month. A few missed credit card payments can quickly turn into something more difficult to manage.
If you’re also dealing with other credit commitments, it’s understandable to feel overwhelmed. But there are regulated solutions that could help. Depending on your situation, Debt Management Plans (DMPs), Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs), and Debt Relief Orders (DROs) could reduce what you pay and bring things back under control.
We’ll take the time to understand your circumstances and explain your options clearly, so you can move forward in a way that feels manageable.

Can American Express Credit Card Debt Be Included In An IVA Or DMP?
Yes, American Express credit card debt is usually unsecured, which means it can often be included in a formal debt solution like a Debt Management Plan (DMP) or an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA).
These options are designed to make repayments more manageable by combining multiple debts into one monthly payment. They can help reduce financial pressure and bring a clearer path forward; especially if Amex is just one of several balances you’re struggling to manage.
We’ll help you understand whether a structured solution is the right fit for you, and explain everything clearly so you can move forward with confidence.

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.
