Debt Management
Consolidate Your Debt
Without a Loan
If you find yourself in a
financial crisis or are trying to prevent one from
happening, there is a way out. Our Debt Management
Program (DMP) will help you regain control of your
financial situation and get out of debt.
The purpose of our Debt
Management Program is to get you back on track financially
through regular payments and satisfy your creditors so
they will stop contacting you. This section can help you
decide if a DMP might be the right choice for you.
How the Debt Management
Program Works
Let's say you are falling
behind on all of your bills. You have no idea how you are
going to handle your living expenses and debts, and you're
afraid you will lose everything. Each paycheck is going
to play catch up with your creditors. With late fees and
back payments, the future is looking grim.
After you have done a
budget, you'll know your bottom line (the difference
between your income and expenses). If your budget shows
that you can continue to pay your living expenses but need
some help paying your debts, Financial Help Services can
help.
Our specialist will help
you to prioritize and allocate your money to catch up on
living expenses and work with your creditors to deal with
your debt. The Debt Management Program can help you:
What Kinds of Debts Qualify
for a DMP?
Many debts can be included
in a Debt Management Program, including most types of
unsecured debt such as credit cards, medical bills,
department store cards, lines of credit, collection
accounts and taxes. Secured debts such as your house and
car always stay in your budget because you need them to
live.
Who Participates?
All major creditors
participate in consolidation programs. Banks, credit
unions, other lending institutions, department store
cards, hospitals, collection agencies and state and
federal governments are just a few examples.

Credit Rating?
