Who is a Debt Management Program for?
A Debt Management Program (DMP) is a structured repayment plan that helps you pay off debt and build financial resilience. It’s ideal for those making minimum payments, dealing with high interest rates, or facing collection calls. To see if a DMP is right for you, consider these questions that may indicate your debt is impacting your goals.
Why choose a Debt Management Program?
- Ease and structure: A personalized payment schedule is created, based on your pay frequency and bill due dates. You can “set it and forget it” with one consolidated payment on your preferred schedule.
- Time and money savings: GreenPath works directly with your creditors to request concessions such as lower interest rates and monthly payments, so you eliminate debt faster and save money.
- Peace of mind: A Debt Management Program (DMP) consolidates your payments into one manageable payment to reduce the overwhelming stress of multiple payments across credit cards, loans, and more.
- Support you can trust: GreenPath is a national, non-profit organization that has empowered people to achieve their financial goals since 1961. NFCC-certified counselors create a personalized plan tailored to your needs and provide support every step of the way.
