Debt Consolidation Basics

The Basics of Debt Consolidation Plans
This type a debt management program has been successful for many years. It was developed by creditors to help their customers who were having a difficult time repaying their debts. As long as we work within the creditors established guidelines for people that are in debt consolidation program, we can extend many benefits to the consumer. This is the basics of debt consolidation.

In most cases, the creditors will also bring your account current and waive penalties and late fees. As long as you keep be making on time monthly payments, this program will not hurt your credit rating.

So, you are wondering how does debt consolidation affect your credit? Well according to Barry Paperno, of Fair Isaac Customer Care - “Using a credit counseling service and having this situation reported on your credit report DOES NOT have a negative impact to your FICO ® scores. However, the actions you take based on the recommendations of a credit counseling service may, in some cases, affect your score. For example, an agreement to settle for less than the full amount due on an account may be regarded negatively, as well as any late payments reported either before or after you begin the plan.”

If you have a good credit rating it will stay that way, if it's not good, then using this program will help you rebuild your credit, so you will no longer be considered a risk.

Debt consolidation is a way of resolving your financial situation and will assist you on getting back on the right track to help eliminate and reduce this financial burden. We have been doing this for over 14 yrs assisting consumers with credit card debt and helping them get out of the financial hole they may be in.

Although debt consolidation may sound like a loan it is something entirely different. Unlike a loan, your debt is consolidated into ONE LOW monthly payment you DO NOT get a loan to pay off your credit cards.

Often these services are a "win-win" situation for the consumer. Your creditors win because they save money by eliminating the cost of collections, and in some cases a total loss if bankruptcy is declared plus they get the money that is owed to them and they also win by keeping you as a customer in good standing. You win cause you pay off your debt and get yourself financially set again.
