¡  1. The most common benefit from a debt management program is the consolidation of multiple monthly payments into one monthly payment, which is usually less than the sum of the individual payments themselves.

¡  2. Credit Counseling also arranges a reduction in the interest rates charged by creditors through a DMP. Some creditors will lower the annual percentage rates or even eliminate interest altogether.

¡  3. The third benefit offered by credit counseling agencies is restoring credit ratings. By bringing delinquent accounts current. After joining the DMP and making consecutive monthly payments, creditors could “re-age” the account to reflect a current status. This merely gives a fresh start and an opportunity for the client to begin building a positive credit history.
