The most effective debt reduction strategies.
One of the debt reduction strategies we recommend most often for unsecured debt relief is a debt management plan. In this approach to eliminating debt, you consolidate all of your monthly debt payments into a single payment to ACCC, and we turn around and pay each of your creditors on your behalf. That means instead of writing checks throughout the month to the credit card companies, you’ll make just one easy payment to us, allowing you to more easily keep current with your debt obligations. At the same time, we’ll talk with your creditors to seek reductions in your interest rates, finance charges, and any over-limit fees or late fees you’re paying. This reduces the total amount of personal credit card debt and other debt you owe, and makes it possible to pay off your debt faster – usually within five years.
