Debt Settlement vs. DMP

Though similar in name, a debt management program is not the same thing as a debt settlement program. A Debt Settlement program requires consumers to fall months or even years behind on payments, By doing this, the collection agencies will settle for a percentage of the debt you owe.

Debt Settlement v Debt Management

With debt settlement, consumers pay a percentage of what is owed to their creditors, but this often results in a negative impact to your credit score. Especially if you were in good standing prior to joining their program. Consumers on a DMP pay back the balance in full to their creditors. So the credit score impact is usually neutral if not positive over time.

 

DMP Credit Effect

Enrolling onto a DMP can improve the two biggest factors used to calculate credit scores: credit history and credit utilization. There is potential to weaken your credit score if you don’t continue to make payments during the enrollment process. But as long as you continue to make minimum payments until the program starts, enrolling in a DMP should not negative impact your credit. Obviously, making on time payments while on the program is required to keep your credit in good standing.

DMP’s are typically offered by consumer credit counseling agencies that are 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations.  Because of this, the cost of the DMP is relatively less than other debt solutions. When enrolling in DebtWave’s DMP, clients can expect to pay an initial setup fee and monthly service fee. Fees vary by state. So please contact one of our financial counselors to find out how much it costs for you personally to enroll in our DMP.
