Introduction

The Debt Consolidation Plan is a debt refinancing scheme that allows an individual to combine all unsecured obligations such as credit card bills and some forms of unsecured loans from several financial institutions into a single account with a single participating financial institution.Specificconditions to consolidate unsecured loans, on the other hand, are exempt from being included in a DCP. In order to be exempt from a DCP, the following sorts of debts must be present: debts owed under joint accounts; renovation loans; school loans; medical loans; and credit facilities given to enterprises or for commercial reasons.

The requirements in order to be eligible:

• Should be a citizen of Singapore or a permanent resident of Singapore
