A third-party provides this service and they work in terms with the creditors.
If your total debts  come around $7893 from 2 different cards and the other sources, and the current monthly instalments work out to be $ 534, then after adopting the debt management plan your monthly instalments can come down to  $ 230 giving you the least of $ 299 as the savings.
