Being overwhelmed with debt creates a lot of stress because your life feels out of control. So when you’re looking for help to consolidate credit, you want to find a reliable non profit credit counseling agency. Getting back on track financially is stressful enough and you shouldn’t deal with anything that might compromise your best chance of becoming debt free. Therefore, it’s important to take the time to research each company and find out how much they charge for their consumer debt solutions. You want to find an agency that cares about your circumstances and is willing to help you.
If you’re having trouble with debt, consolidate credit with ACCC.
When you are researching companies that consolidate debt, you need to interview each one to gather enough information. Although you can find a lot of information online, the best method to choose an agency is to talk to them in person. This allows you to ask questions about their consumer credit solutions that are not answered on the companies’ websites, blogs, or social media pages.
Here are some questions to ask the agencies about fees to consolidate credit:
- How much are your set-up fees and monthly maintenance fees? A reputable agency should not charge more than $50/month for a debt management plan. The best ones charge a good deal less than that.
- If I can’t afford to pay the fees to consolidate credit, can I get a waiver?
- Are there any charges for courses and ongoing education? The agency should provide materials and resources to help you learn how to manage your personal finances, along with free ongoing credit counseling advice and education.
