Interest Rates for Debt Management Programs<\/h1>\n

Debt Management Program<\/a>\u00a0interest rates<\/strong> are lower than credit card interest rates as they are often eliminated or significantly reduced. This is one advantage of working with a reputable non-profit credit counselling organization, like the Credit Counselling Society. Creditors will accept your DMP and allow you to make monthly payments to pay off your debt. If you choose a for-profit credit counselling company, not all creditors may choose to work with them to the same degree. While they try to help people through debt repayment programs<\/strong>, creditors often don’t give them the same benefit of low or no interest rates like they do for non-profit agencies. When looking around for an organization to do a DMP with, it is a good idea to use an\u00a0interest payment calculator<\/a>\u00a0and familiarize yourself with the\u00a0cost of a DMP<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Main Differences Between For-Profit and Non-Profit Credit Counselling Organizations
How Much Does a DMP Cost? & Can You Afford It?<\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” module_id=”get-cell-phone” module_class=”custom_row” _builder_version=”4.16″ width_tablet=”80%” width_phone=”80%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”0px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ module_class=”vertical-align second-on-mobile” _builder_version=”4.16″ animation_direction=”left” custom_css_main_element=”margin: auto;” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”1px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

To cover their costs, non-profit credit counseling organizations usually charge small fees for their debt management programs. When you work with a professional credit counsellor from a non-profit agency, they help you create a budget, explain what the fees for a DMP are and help you know if you can afford it or not. If you can’t afford it, they’ll give you information about other options and debt relief solutions, including possible\u00a0alternatives to bankruptcy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For-profit companies typically have\u00a0higher cost DMPs<\/strong>\u00a0and charge larger fees for their services. When you’re trying to decide which organization to trust with your debt and your money, check each one out carefully before you sign onto a repayment program. You can even use a debt management program\u00a0calculator<\/strong>\u00a0to get an idea of what your monthly costs will be like and to see when you could potentially complete your DMP.<\/p>\n
