Debt Management Plan Agawam MA call 1-800-254-4100
What is a Debt Management Plan (DMP)?
A Agawam MA Debt Management Plan is a simple and effective way to pay your non-priority creditors. Your credit counselor will calculate the amount you can afford to pay after giving consideration to your priority debts - mortgage, utilities, taxes, etc. and day-to-day living expenses. Any money left is then deposited with the DMP administrator as a single monthly payment and then distributed to your non-priority creditors on your behalf.
Debt without any collateral that can be taken back if you don?t pay.
Examples: credit cards, dept. store cards, personal loans, cell phone bills, legal bills, medical bills, credit lines, health club memberships.
No mortgages, auto loans, etc.
Step 1: A debt consultant will contact you over the phone for a free counseling session. He'll review your financial situation and suggest the right solution to your debt problems.
Step 2: With your approval, the consultant will start contacting your creditors for a negotiation. The purpose here is to reduce your outstanding debt amount or lower interest rates and eliminate late fees/penalty charges. The consultant will also help you to avoid harassing calls from creditors and collection agencies.
Step 3: The consultant will provide you with budgeting tips so as to help you manage your money better. He'll also guide you on how to rebuild your credit and raise your credit score.
What are the benefits of a Debt Management Plan Agawam?
The DMP administrator will request reduced payments on your behalf with your creditors. In many cases the creditors will also agree to totally freeze or reduce the amount of interest being charged on your accounts, giving you the benefit of:
Enrolling in a Non-Profit certified credit counseling program;
Making payments you can afford and reducing your debt;
Having regular reviews of your circumstances and your monthly deposit amount changing to reflect your current financial situation.
Once the DMP administrator receives your monthly deposit, you have peace of mind in knowing that all of your creditors on the DMP will be paid. Call us for more information 1-800-254-4100.

How long does a Debt Management Plan last?
This depends on the amount of debt and level of repayment agreed with your counsellor. As a rough guide, if you divide your total debt by your monthly DMP payment amount, this gives you the total number of months it is expected to last.
Will my payment remain the same throughout the life of my DMP?
Your income and expenditure will be reviewed periodically with a support counselor. If your circumstances improve, there may be an opportunity to increase your monthly DMP payment and this will shorten the life of your DMP. Conversely, if your situation deteriorates, it may be possible to temporarily reduce your payments until they improve. How will I know my creditors are being paid?
Consumer Credit Counseling Service will send you a statement each month showing how the monthly payment has been shared among your creditors, so you'll always be aware of how much each has been paid. What effect will a DMP have on my credit rating?
If you are not making your contractual monthly payments to your creditors it is likely that your credit rating has already been affected. If you are making reduced payments through a Debt Management Plan Agawam MA many creditors will record this on your credit file. Will my creditors stop charging me interest if I set up a DMP?
Some may continue to charge interest but we receive excellent cooperation from many creditors and this can have a significant impact on your ability to clear your debts. However, you should be aware that they are not legally obliged to do so. Do my creditors have to accept the payments I offer them?
No, they don't have to accept the offer - but we will have prepared a budget with you that should demonstrate that you are paying your creditors what you can reasonably afford. They will also receive details of payments being made to creditors to show they are all being dealt with fairly.
How much will a DMP cost?
DMP one-time enrollment fees and monthly maintenance fees are determined as permitted by Agawam MA banking regulation, states laws and federal regulations.
