If these ways of clearing debts don't suit yourself you should instruct a debt management company to deal with your finances as they take the stress and pressure of dealing with these companies away from you.
All the client has to do is make one payment a month and send their creditor statements to the debt management company. They will do the rest and also negotiate an amount to pay each month which is affordable to you.
