| When it comes to debt problems, many people need help. It can be difficult to find your way out of debt. Many people benefit from traditional credit counseling programs and debt management plans. However, there are people out there that aren't really candidates for the traditional plans.But specialized debt management is often beneficial for these consumers.Specialized programs are designed for consumers with good credit and who are current on their debt accounts. These consumers often have one or more lines of credit for business or personal use.The specialized debt management program functions like a traditional plan, but extra steps are taken to help protect the consumer's credit rating.Most of the time, if a credit grantor closes your accounts once you are enrolled in a debt management plan, your account will be reported as "closed by the creditor." This can not only hurt your credit score, but it looks bad to lenders -- who don't know why the account was closed. If you close your accounts on your own, your account is reported as closed by your own request. If this happens, many creditors won't even note that you are enrolled in a debt management program. Your credit report and score are protected.Both traditional and specialized debt management plans help educate you on eliminating and managing your debt. They help you to reduce your interest rates and pay off your debt faster.However, specialized debt management programs will not require you to close all of your lines of credit. They help you decide which credit accounts are good for emergency or business purposes. You will be allowed to open new accounts and use your existing accounts. Sometimes this is necessary, and specialized programs will help you address these needs.With a specialized program, your credit score is considered important and steps are taken to prevent damage. You can have a great credit score and still be accepted to a specialized debt program. Plus, some programs offer added protection in taking steps to make sure that your payments are made before they are due.Specialized debt management is often beneficial to business owners who need their credit to be available, but want to take action to insure that they are able to manage their debt wisely. Many consumers are still in good credit standing, but are concerned with the path they are on. It is wise to take action before your debt and credit situation reaches a critical point. By protecting your credit score, you have an increased number of debt consolidation options out there. If you wait until you have poor credit and have maxed out all of your credit lines, you may find that your options are severely limited. Take care of your credit and it will take care of you. |
