How to get rid of credit card debt in four steps.

Getting out from under a pile of debt takes time and effort, but the process is pretty clear.

  • Evaluation. When you talk with our professionally trained and independently certified credit counselors, they’ll help you evaluate your financial outlook and get a complete picture of your situation.
  • Budget. They’ll help you develop a budget that will let you pay down your credit card debt while still covering your living expenses.
  • Debt management. For many of our clients, a debt management plan is the most effective way of managing credit card debt and other unsecured debt. Under your debt management program, you’ll consolidate all the money you must pay to various credit card companies each month and you’ll make one payment to ACCC instead. We’ll then take responsibility for distributing money to your creditors on your behalf. With just one payment to make, you’ll feel less stress about your finances. You’re also more likely to be able to keep up with regular payments that will help you get out of debt.
  • Negotiating credit card debt. We’ll also work on getting possible reductions in all the extra fees and charges and drive your debt up. By lowering interest rates, reducing finance charges, eliminating late fees and over-limit fees, we can potentially save you thousands of dollars and help you get rid of credit card debt faster.
