What kinds of debt can you help with?

We can help with most types of unsecured debt, including: Credit cards, Medical bills, Payday loans, Unsecured Personal loans, and Collection accounts. We cannot include secured debts like mortgages or most auto loans in a Debt Management Plan, but we’re happy to review your full situation and help you make a plan.

How does your Debt Management Plan (DMP) work?

A Debt Management Plan consolidates your eligible unsecured debts into one monthly payment. We work with your creditors to:

  • Lower or eliminate interest rates,
  • Stop late fees and over-limit charges,
  • Create a reduced payoff timeline

You make one monthly payment to Family Credit Management, and we disburse it to your creditors on your behalf. Most people pay off their debt faster than they could on their own—and with far less stress.

Can I choose which debts to include?

In many cases, you have flexibility in choosing which unsecured debts to include, but there are some exceptions. Certain creditors require all of your accounts with them to be included in the plan in order to offer benefits like reduced interest rates. That said, plenty of creditors don’t have restrictions, and we’ll walk you through what’s possible with each one. Our counselors will help you weigh the pros and cons so you can make informed decisions that work best for your situation.

What about the high interest rates and fees on my cards?

That’s exactly what our program is designed to help with! We work with your creditors to lower your interest rates, often down to single digits, and stop ongoing late fees, over-limit charges, and other penalties. By consolidating your unsecured debts into one affordable monthly payment and reducing the interest, more of your money goes toward actually paying down the balance instead of just chipping away at interest. That means faster progress and real savings over time. Every creditor is different, but we’ll let you know what kinds of concessions you should qualify for when you receive your free quote.

Can I add an account once my debt management plan has started?

Yes, in most cases you can! If you have a new account you'd like to include—or one you didn’t list originally—we can usually add it to your existing plan. It’s a common situation, and we’re happy to help you make the update. We’ll review the account, confirm if it qualifies, and let you know exactly how it would affect your monthly payment or timeline. We make it easy to keep your plan flexible as life changes!

How long will it take to complete the program?

Most people finish the program in 3 to 5 years, but the exact timeline depends on how much debt you have, how much you can afford to pay each month, and how your creditors structure their repayment terms. We’ll give you a clear estimate up front, and you can view your progress anytime in your online account. If you want to complete your debt management program faster, we’ll help you build a plan to do just that.
