ASKED QUESTIONS:
How
does debt consolidation work?
You
send us one payment each month. We then share out this payment
between your creditors and pay them a negotiated amount. Your
creditors are satisfied that you are trying to straighten
out your debts and that they are receiving a regular amount
every month. The benefit to you is that you now make only
one payment each month at an amount that you can afford, and
you are no longer being bothered by your creditors.
Can
you stop collections agencies from calling and harassing me?
Yes, if collections agencies are still calling you after
the first few payments, we may use the Fair Credit Reporting
Act, a federal law, to make them stop calling. If collection
agencies are calling you at work and jeopardizing your job,
they may not be in compliance with the law.
How
long does it take to pay off my credit card debts after debt
consolidation?
Most
people are able to get out of debt in 3 to 5 years after the
interest rates on their debts have been reduced under a debt
management plan. Debt consolidation can also reduce the total
monthly payment amount.
Will
my employer need to know?
No! We will not contact your employer or anyone else other
than your creditors. All your dealings with us are entirely
confidential.
How
much will the debt consolidation program cost?
We charge a small debt management fee which is included
in your monthly payment. Even with our fee, your monthly payments
and interest are usually less than what you would have been
paying under your original creditor's terms. Reasonably quick
debt reduction and credit repair would never be possible if
our debt consolidation program was expensive.
Can
I consolidate the mortgage on my home and my car loan together
with my credit card debts?
No. Only unsecured debts are considered for a debt management
program. Your home mortgage and your car loan are secured
by your home and car respectively as collateral.
How
does debt consolidation differ from declaring bankruptcy?
The objective of bankruptcy is to absolve you of debts
altogether. This financial strategy has serious and long-term
drawbacks that affect your life for decades. For example,
applying for life insurance, purchasing a business, buying
a home, and applying for a job can all be negatively affected
by a prior bankruptcy. Under a debt management plan, you repay
your debt obligations. Thus, you can repair bad credit, maintain
a good credit rating and return to a debt-free lifestyle quickly
and without hurting your future.
