Also referred to as
Debt Consolidation
This program is designed to help individuals who have greater than $5000.00 in
Credit Card Debt,
have high interest rates and realize they are now in what is commonly referred to as a “Pay for Life Program”.
In other words, because your interest rates are so high it could take you as long as 18 years to payoff the
debt by making just minimum payments. The
Debt Management Program will allow you to make one
monthly payment at
reduced interest rates and have the
debt paid in full, generally, in less than 5 years. Also, creditors will generally waive overlimit fees and
reage the account (bring it current
if you were behind”) after a period of 3 to 6 months of being on the program. It is not unusual for your present monthly payment to be slightly lower in a
Debt Management Program than your current payments combined.
This program is voluntary, there is no prepayment penalty and your participation is not a scoring component of your
credit score.
