How much does it cost to enroll in a Debt Management Program?
When searching for a Credit Counseling agency to assist you, you should look for a non-profit organization. Most
non-profit counseling agencies do not charge fees. However, they do ask for voluntary donations to offset their
administrative costs and the costs that they incur when negotiating with creditors and establishing an account for a debtor. You will receive the same services even if you decline to make a donation.
There are for-profit credit organizations that perform counseling services, but they usually that charge fees. In some cases,
for-profit credit counseling agencies may be unable to get the creditors to agree to repayment benefits that are as favorable as the
benefits that non-profit agencies are able to arrange.
