Debt counseling professionals will go to your creditors and work with them to renegotiate the interest rates on your credit cards and other debts. They will also persuade them to waive any penalties for late payments that have caused your balances to rise.
All of your credit card bills will undergo consolidation by the debt counseling company. You will pay one amount each month to satisfy these balances.
Debt counseling will help you to get completely out of debt much faster than you ever could on your own. If you had continued to just pay the minimum balance due every month on each credit card you have, very little of that payment would have been applied to the principal. The high interest rates would have taken up most of your payment. It’s been estimated that it can take 25 years or more to pay off ONE credit card with a good sized balance (even if you stopped using the card) when you are paying only the minimum balance.
Debt counseling will help you to get your credit score back up to an acceptable level. Your credit score is very important, as a bad one can prevent you from getting a loan, certain types of insurance, renting an apartment, or even getting a job.
