What does debt management help look like?

When seeking debt management help, many consumers decide that a debt management plan with ACCC is the best choice for paying off their debt over time. A debt management plan lets you combine all your monthly payments to various creditors into a single payment to ACCC. Each month, when we receive your payment, we’ll disperse those funds to your creditors on your behalf. We’ll also talk with your creditors about potentially reducing your interest rates, finance charges, and other fees, or about adjusting the terms of your debt to lower your monthly payment.

The benefits of this approach are twofold. With just one payment each month, you’ll find it easier to make your payments on time and you’ll feel a lot less stress about your financial situation. And by reducing interest rates and finance charges, you’ll end up owing less money so you can pay it off faster.

With this kind of debt management help from ACCC, most consumers are able to pay off their debts within 3 to 5 years.
