A debt management plan is an effective way of paying off debt.
How a debt management plan works.
Here’s how our debt management plan can help you pay off your debt. First, you’ll work with our highly trained credit counselors to evaluate your financial picture and make a budget that you can live with while you pay down your debt.
Next, we’ll change the way you pay your bills. Instead of making monthly payments to multiple creditors, you’ll make one easy payment to us and we’ll pay your creditors on your behalf. This is important for two reasons: it simplifies management of your finances, helping to reduce your stress and making it easier to stay current with payments. It also puts us in direct contact with your creditors, allowing us to seek reductions in interest rates, finance charges, late fees, and over-limit fees. In this way, a debt management plan can actually reduce the amount of money you owe and shorten the time it will take to pay it off.
