Reviews and Success Stories

When you’ve got more debt than you can keep up with, and you’re having a hard time making your monthly payments, a debt management program can offer relief.

According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, from mid-2019 through the first quarter of 2020, non-housing debt in the United States gradually increased to $4.20 trillion. Of that, $652 billion is considered delinquent. There are a lot of causes for debt, and with interest rates and penalties many Americans feel that their debt is insurmountable. If you find yourself feeling this way, a debt management plan may be a great option for you to consolidate debt payments, reduce fees and interest, and get yourself free from debt.

At Debt Reduction Services, we offer help for people struggling with credit card debt and other financial difficulties so that they can get back in control of their finances. Here you’ll learn all about debt management programs and how they work, so that you can decide if enrolling in one is right for you.

What is a Debt Management Program?

When you’ve got more debt than you can keep up with, and you’re having a hard time making your monthly payments, a debt management program can offer relief.

A Debt Management Program (DMP) is a specialized service that assists individuals in managing and repaying their debts effectively. It involves working with a reputable credit counseling agency to create a structured plan for debt repayment.

In a DMP, the agency has preset terms in place with creditors on behalf of the individual to secure benefits such as reduced interest rates, waived fees, and extended payment terms. This allows the individual to make a single monthly payment to the agency, which then distributes the funds to the creditors on their behalf.

The key goals of a Debt Management Program are to simplify the debt repayment process, consolidate multiple debts into one manageable payment, potentially lower interest rates, and help individuals become debt-free faster. It provides a structured pathway towards financial stability and helps individuals regain control over their finances.

At Debt Reduction Services/Moneyfit, we offer help for people struggling with credit card debt and other financial difficulties so that they can get back in control of their finances!

A Debt Management Program has one simple goal, to get you out of debt as fast as possible.

Types of Debt that Can Be Consolidated Using a Debt Management Program

Debt management programs focus on assisting individuals with unsecured debts, which are not backed by collateral like a house or a car. While credit card debt is the most common type addressed through a Debt Management Program, almost all forms of unsecured debt can be tackled, including past medical bills, debt in collections, and personal or payday loans.

However, it’s important to note that secured debts such as mortgages, car loans, or home equity lines of credit cannot be enrolled in a debt consolidation program. These types of debts are secured by collateral and are not eligible for consolidation through a DMP.

WHAT WE CAN CONSOLIDATE

Unsecured Debt Such As:

  • Credit Card Debt
  • Medical Bills
  • Payday Loans

WHAT WE CAN’T CONSOLIDATE

Secured Debt Such As:

  • Mortgages
  • Home Equity Line of Credit
  • Car & Title Loans
  • Pawn Shop Loans

Will a Debt Management Program Harm My Credit?

Enrolling in a Debt Management Program (DMP) will not have a direct negative impact on your credit score. In fact, it can actually help improve your score in the long run! Consistently making on-time payments and steadily reducing your owed debt demonstrates responsible financial behavior, which is viewed positively by credit reporting agencies.

While your creditors may indicate on your account that you are repaying your debts through a DMP, this is generally seen as a positive sign of commitment to repayment. It’s important to note that credit card accounts included in the DMP may be closed, which could cause a temporary dip in your credit score. However, as you adhere to the payment structure and successfully pay off your debt through the program, your credit score should gradually improve.

By staying committed to the DMP and maintaining responsible financial habits, you can pave the way for a healthier credit score in the future!
