What is a Debt Management Plan

A Debt Management Plan is an agreement made between you and your creditors to pay off outstanding debts. You create a plan with a financial counselor, consolidate your payments, then make one payment to us each month, and we send the funds to your creditors.

Payments for a DMP are typically lower than your current payments, and most creditors will significantly reduce interest rates and stop fees once you are on a DMP. With on-time payments, your debt will be paid off in five years or less. This timing depends on the amount of your balances.
 

A Debt Management Plan Will:

• Provide you an affordable payment plan and the simplicity of one payment.
• Typically lower your interest rates.
• Help you pay off your debt faster.
• Result in full repayment of your debts.
• Take the fear out of answering the phone and opening your mail.
• Include ongoing support from a dedicated support team and your NFCC-certified financial counselor whose goal is helping you achieve financial wellness.

Is There a Fee?

Your Budget & Debt Counseling sessions with a financial counselor are completely free. If you choose to start a Debt Management Plan, you will pay a small monthly fee to LSS. This can vary by the state you live in and amount you owe. A small one-time DMP setup fee may also be charged. Your counselor will explain all your options and applicable fees during your counseling session.
 

What Do I Need for Counseling?

In order for your financial counseling session to be as productive as possible, it is helpful to have the following information available:

• Your monthly income.
• Typical monthly expenses.
• Statements from your creditors.
• Any other information you believe would be helpful in understanding your financial situation.
