debt management

Organizing owed money

Debt management refers to strategies for handling what you owe—organizing payments, negotiating with creditors, or consolidating multiple debts into one.

The term often appears in financial services: a debt management plan, debt management counseling.

It implies taking control of obligations rather than letting them accumulate: After the divorce, she focused on debt management to get back on her feet.
