HOW
DOES THE PROGRAM WORK?
The
way this program works is that a debt consolidation professional
will contact your creditors to get your interest rate and
monthly payments reduced to an amount that you can afford
to pay. Many debt consolidators already have working relationship
with these creditors and will know exactly how to get the
best deal for you. For example, if you have a $5,000 debt
with MBNA at 21% interest, a debt consolidator will likely
be able to get MBNA to lower your interest rate and monthly
payments significantly.
Typically,
a good debt consolidation company can lower your monthly
payments by 50%. In some cases, they can even eliminate
interest charges altogether. This way your entire monthly
payment will be toward the principal.
In
addition, you no longer pay your creditors directly. All
of your debts are organized into one manageable and reduced
payment to the debt consolidation company. The debt consolidation
company in turn pays your creditors on your behalf.
