How Debt Management Plans Can Help You Escape Debt
Overview
Debt Management Plans (DMPs) offer a practical way to consolidate short-term debts into a single monthly payment. By negotiating lower interest rates, these plans often help you become debt-free within five years. Before committing, it's crucial to verify the legitimacy of any company offering these services.
Services Provided
DMP companies, sometimes referred to as debt consolidation services, manage the financial aspects of your debt. They liaise with creditors to reduce interest rates, handle your payments, and close accounts when necessary. DMPs are suitable for short-term debts like credit card bills, but they don’t cover student loans or mortgages, which may require refinancing to lower rates independently.
When you engage a DMP company, you’ll need to make a single monthly payment to them. This payment includes a small fee for each account they manage.
Questions to Consider
Before providing your financial details to a DMP, thoroughly research the company. Key questions include:
- How long will it take to settle my debts? A reputable firm will provide an estimate based on your lenders and account balances without needing account numbers.
- What are the fees? Most companies charge a minor fee per account. Be cautious of companies demanding large upfront fees without guarantees.
Understand that all DMP companies receive predetermined rates from creditors, so you should expect similar rates across different firms.
Additional Credit Services
If you're unsure whether debt consolidation is right for you, consider signing up for credit counseling. Through phone, online, or in-person sessions, a counselor can help develop a comprehensive financial strategy. They might recommend a DMP or suggest consolidating your debts into a single loan, such as a second mortgage.
