Credit Counseling
A certified counselor helps you build a budget and repayment plan to manage your debt over time.
Pros
- Low cost ($25-$75/month)
- No credit requirements
- Good first step if you need structure
Cons
- Does not reduce what you owe
- Success depends on sticking to the budget
- Not a structured program — it's guidance only
Best for
People with under $10K in debt who need help creating a realistic plan they can stick to.
Debt Consolidation
A professional team works with your creditors to reduce what you owe — typically by 40% or more — and replaces multiple payments with one.
Pros
- Reduce what you owe by 40% or more
- One monthly payment instead of many
- Get out of debt faster — credit can recover sooner
Cons
- Temporary credit dip at the start, then recovery
- Works best with steady income
- Not ideal for debts under $15K
Best for
People with $20K+ in credit card debt who are tired of watching minimum payments go nowhere — especially homeowners.
Personal Loan
Combine multiple debts into one loan with a single monthly payment, potentially at a lower interest rate.
Pros
- One predictable monthly payment
- May lower your overall interest rate
- Simpler than juggling multiple bills
Cons
- You still pay back the full amount
- No reduction in what you owe
- The debt keeps growing with interest
Best for
People with $10K-$15K in debt who want simpler payments and can handle paying the full balance over time.
