With InCharge's Debt Management Program (DMP), all your credit payments are consolidated into one manageable monthly amount, without any of the disadvantages of a "debt consolidation loan." InCharge will be your partner, not another creditor. We work with your creditors to lower interest rates, eliminate late fees, and deliver a plan that pays off your debts in much less time. With a DMP in place, you only make one monthly payment, giving you peace of mind and the knowledge you're saving thousands and will be debt free in 3 to 5 years.
I Don't Know if I Need a DMP
That's why we'll start with a basic Budget & Credit Counseling session to see what options are best for you.

What Will My DMP Counseling Session Be Like?
You can call to talk to a counselor or find a DMP solution online. If you choose to learn about a DMP by telephone, you'll speak with a caring, expert Certified Financial Counselor. Your debt information will be accessed (using a "soft pull" that doesn't affect your credit score) from the credit bureau to ensure that you're working with current, accurate information. The Counselor analyzes your income, assets and debts, then calculates the monthly payment and length of time required to retire your credit debts. Upon your approval, your plan will activate and you'll be on a path to debt-free living.

A Debt Management Program (DMPs) is one option that helps by consolidating your debt (without taking out another loan). If DMP is right for you, InCharge negotiates with your creditors to obtain lower payments (with reduced interest rates and/or late and over-limit fees waived). A monthly payment is established that fits your budget, and you make the payment to InCharge. We disburse individual payments to all your creditors.

- Reduced monthly payments and interest rates
- Waived late and over-the-limit fees
- Reduced collection calls and letters
- The convenience of one monthly payment
- Re-aging your account to bring it current
