Credit Counselling Services
The Credit Counselling
When Is Credit Counselling Appropriate?
Credit counselling works best for those who have debt levels that can still realistically be paid off, which usually means low or medium levels of debt relative to your income and assets. You may find yourself in a situation where you’re still making your monthly debt payments, but you suddenly find that these payments are becoming unmanageable. That’s where a credit counselor can step in to help you make the right changes in your financial life to ensure the debt doesn’t become uncontrollable.
However, credit counselling services offers important educational lessons for nearly anyone, and can help individuals or even businesses successfully budget and spend their money.
How Credit Counselling Helps You Manage Debt
Your credit counselor can also offer you credit consolidation services, helping you package your various debt into one loan, which will help you better focus your efforts to pay off your debt.
The counselor serves as a mediator throughout the repayment process. Your credit counselor can contact your creditors on your behalf if you authorize it. Creditors will often agree to reduced interest payments or provide more time to pay off debt, as they also have an interest in obtaining the money you owe.
Your credit counselor will receive your payments each month and place them in a trust account, which will then be sent to your creditors. If you stick with the program, a credit counselor can provide you with a positive note, which will be entered into your credit profile.
