"Cut my average interest rate nearly in half and I finally saw the balance actually go down each month instead of barely moving."
"The counselor didn't judge, just helped me build a plan I could actually stick to given what I actually earn."
"Took a few weeks to get everything set up with all my creditors, but the reduced payment made it worth the wait."
Enrolling itself isn't a credit factor, though closing individual credit card accounts as part of the plan can have a temporary effect.
A debt management plan pays back what you owe in full at a reduced rate, while settlement negotiates to pay less than the balance owed — the two have very different effects on your credit.
The initial consultation is free. Ongoing plan fees, if any, are disclosed upfront before you enroll in anything.
Most structured plans run three to five years, depending on your balance, payment, and negotiated rate.
