Looking for the best debt consolidation rates?
Here’s a piece of advice for anyone looking for the best debt consolidation rates: take a deep breath, and contact a credit counselor before you take any action.
When you’re swimming in debt and you feel like you’ll never be able to pay it off, it’s tempting to buy into the promises of debt consolidation or debt settlement companies. They would have you believe that getting out of debt is easy if you can only lock in the right debt consolidation rates or hire them to negotiate a settlement.
But if you owe a great deal of money, you’re not likely to secure the lowest debt consolidation rates, which means a debt consolidation loan may not be very helpful. And if you haven’t done the hard work of changing the way you manage money, the best debt consolidation loan rates in the world may not help you get out of debt.

Skip debt consolidation rates with a debt management plan.

Under a debt management plan, you’ll make a budget you can live with that lets you pay down your debt over a period of time.

ACCC will work with your creditors for possible reductions in finance charges, interest rates and other fees, ultimately reducing the amount of money you owe so you can pay it off more quickly.
