What our counselors can teach you about how to be debt free.
When you come to ACCC to learn how to be debt free, we’ll review your financial situation and provide information about resources and strategies that make sense for you. Our counselors are experts on subjects like bankruptcy and credit card debt, and can help you choose the best strategy for how to be debt free.
Depending on your needs, we may recommend that you participate in a debt management plan, which is one of the most effective strategies for eliminating debt for most consumers. It’s a simple, four-step plan for how to be debt free within five years or less. It works like this:
- Our counselors meet with you to work up a complete evaluation of your finances.
- We help you create a budget that you can live with while you work to be debt free.
- We consolidate all your various debt payments. Instead of paying multiple creditors each month, you’ll make one payment to ACCC and we’ll pay your creditors on your behalf.
- We’ll ask your creditors for reductions in finance charges and interest rates, and to end over-limit fees and late fees, helping to reduce the total amount you owe so you can pay it off faster.
We have found that most people are able to stick with a debt management plan more easily, in part because our credit counselors handle most of the work for you.
