When paying credit card debt feels impossible
When your credit card balances are rising steadily and paying credit card debt off seems impossible, it can feel pretty scary and overwhelming.
The good news is: you have options. From debt management plans to debt settlement or a debt consolidation loan, there are many ways of dealing with debt and making a plan for paying credit card debt off over time.
The bad news: not every strategy is equally effective, and there are many approaches to paying credit card debt that can actually leave you worse off. That’s why, when you want to know how to consolidate credit cards or which debt solution is best for you, it’s important to contact a professional credit counselor.

Paying credit card debt with a debt management plan
Depending on your financial situation, we may recommend a debt management plan as the best way of paying credit card debt off. Under this arrangement, rather than trying to keep up with payments to a number of creditors, you’ll make one monthly payment to us and we’ll pay your creditors for you. With just one check to write each month, you’ll find it easier and less stressful to keep up with payments. A debt management plan also allows us to work directly with your creditors to seek possible reductions in finance charges and interest rates, helping to lower the amount you owe so you can pay your debt off more quickly.
