If you're overextended, Credit Counseling or Debt Management Plans (DMP) provide a systematic way to pay down your outstanding debt. With a Debt Management Plan a Credit Counselor works with you and your creditors to design a manageable, tailored plan that will minimize monthly payments, interest and related fees--and reduce or eliminate those stressful collection calls. You make monthly deposits to the DMP agency, payments are disbursed monthly to your creditors, and your full payment is posted to the account.
The DMP takes approximately 36-60 months to repay debts -and once you've met these obligations, Credit Counselors help you reestablish your credit.
Credit Counseling is a proven successful approach to debt relief, which is suitable for consumers with large amounts of debt who are possibly considering bankruptcy. A Credit Counselor negotiates with the creditors to lower the monthly payment; while the debtor saves their money for installment payments. After the debt is paid, the creditor will send a letter stating the debt obligation has been fulfilled. In addition, the creditor will report to the credit bureaus that the debt has been, "Paid".
