Budget Management

Payment delays can occur for many reasons. That causes stress. Maybe there are already bailiffs on your doorstep? Can't you see the forest for the trees and think, "Where do I start?"

With budget management you get a grip on your finances under the guidance of a professional and independent budget consultant. Together, you take steps towards greater financial balance.

Your income comes into budget management, into the account of the Bureau of Financial Support (BvFO). The budget manager pays (part of) your fixed expenses. Budget management comes in a number of different forms. Your personal situation determines which form fits best.

Debts?

Do you have debts? With budget management, in principle, nothing is done with your debts yet. First, budget management focuses on regaining peace and stability in your financial situation. If it is possible within your budget and necessary, payment arrangements are made, but no active contact is maintained with creditors. This means that debts initially remain, and possibly grow larger. No matter how annoying: bailiffs can still knock on your door. Becoming debt free comes when a debt settlement can be started.
