Debt Management With a Credit Counsellor

Debt management is not a one-size-fits-all approach; rather, it consists of a variety of decisions you might make to help you pay off your existing bills. Having a lot of debt, whether “good debt” like a mortgage or student loans or other debts like credit card debt, can affect your credit ratings depending on how well you handle the debt.

A credit counsellor will assist you in developing a strategy for paying off your debts and, if necessary, can negotiate a debt management plan (DMP) with your creditors. In order to help you pay off your debt more quickly, it often lasts three to five years and contains concessions such a lower interest rate, a smaller monthly payment, or fee waivers. The creditor may close your accounts after each obligation is paid off, depending on your circumstances, in order to prevent accruing any additional debt.
