Best Debt Management Plan

Fighting Back Scams Part I

Taken from our Fighting Back Senior Scams class, Avoiding Scams Part I will address how to recognize consumer fraud schemes, detect and prevent identity theft, and identify mortgage-related abuses.

Together, we can build a clear plan to best fit your needs.

It can happen at anytime and it can happen to any of us: A job loss. A medical crisis. A natural disaster. Life in general. Any number of unexpected events could potentially lead to mounting debt-and even the most prepared individual is not immune.

Through our Debt Management Plans, (DMP), you could minimize interest rates and payments to creditors, pay down your debt, eliminate fees and put an end to collection calls.

Getting started on your DMP is easy and can be completed in 4 easy steps.

Step 1 –	Provide the basic personal information necessary for DMP enrollment
Step 2 –	Review your creditors and the benefits of your DMP
Step 3 –	Review your current financial situation
Step 4 –	Finally, we will take a look at your monthly cash flow

The total process will only take a few minutes. If you have any questions, a Certified Credit Counselor is available to assist you as you go through the process.
