Improve money management with a debt management plan.
If you’re overwhelmed by debt and having trouble paying your bills, our debt management plan may be a helpful solution for you. It’s a highly effective money management tool where rather than paying each of your creditors monthly, you make a single payment to us and we handle payments to creditors on your behalf. This arrangement can significantly reduce stress, as you’ll have just one payment to make each month. It also helps you keep current with your payments. And it gives us a chance to work with your creditors for possible reductions in interest rates, finance charges and fees, reducing the total amount of money you owe your creditors and making it possible to pay off your debts faster.
Get free money management advice from our credit counselors.
At ACCC, our credit counselors can be the key to a healthy financial future. What do credit counselors do? First, they speak or meet with you – free of charge – to review your finances and help you get a clear picture of your financial situation. Then they’ll lay out all your options for paying off your debt and improving your credit. These may involve money management strategies, social service resources, debt management services, and educational offerings. At the end of this free session, you’ll leave with a much better sense of what you can do to take control of your finances and put yourself on the path toward a future free of debt.
