Debt Management Plan: Find the Best Fit for You
Overview
Debt management plans (DMPs) can significantly reduce your unsecured debt and lower interest rates on most unsecured loans. To find the right plan, start by understanding your specific needs. Then, seek out a reputable company with clear answers, fair rates, and a solid track record.
Determine Your Needs
Begin by identifying which accounts you want to address. While a DMP can lower interest rates on credit cards and medical bills, it may not apply to mortgages and student loans. However, DMPs can still manage payments for these accounts for a fee.
Create a list of the accounts you want to include, along with lender names and account balances. You'll use this to get quotes from different DMP providers. Remember, don't share account or social security numbers until you've thoroughly researched the company and agreed to their terms.
Compare Companies
Just like any service, it's important to compare different DMP companies. Inquire about pay-off dates and their process. Trustworthy companies will provide specific closing dates based on your balance and creditor's details. Since all DMPs receive the same low rates from creditors, pay-off timelines should be consistent across the board.
Be wary of companies requiring upfront payments or offering vague timelines. Such companies may prioritize your money over providing genuine assistance.
Research Rates
With a list of reputable companies, compare their rates to find the best deal. Some offer a nominal startup fee with monthly charges capped at 15%. Others may offer reduced fees if they are partially subsidized or if you have poor credit.
Avoid companies with substantial, partially refundable initial fees, as they might expect clients to leave the program early, allowing them to keep your money without delivering results.
Check Their Reputation
It's also wise to check the company’s standing with the Better Business Bureau or your state government. Look for records of past complaints, which are often available online.
Investing time in researching DMP companies can save you money and prevent future headaches.
