Credit Counseling

Credit counseling is often a good option if you have a steady income and can afford to make payments, but high interest rates are keeping you trapped. It is a way to consolidate your bills into one payment and get the interest lowered.

Where to start

What I would look at first

Before doing anything else, get clear on these questions.

  • Whether the consolidated monthly payment genuinely fits your budget.
  • Which of your creditors will agree to participate in a Debt Management Plan.
  • How enrollment affects your credit card accounts (most will need to be closed).
  • How credit counseling compares with negotiating settlements or filing bankruptcy.

Not sure where you stand?

Share your situation and I'll help you figure out which direction makes the most sense.
