Choosing the right debt management company is one of the most important service provider decisions a couple or person will make. The debt management experts at Abbot & Edwards have put together this 7 step guide for you.
Debt management is defined as sorting one's accounts in a way that makes management and payment easy and attainable. A consumer can go about beginning the process of proper debt management many ways. One way this can be done is by consulting with a debt management company. A debt management company has the skills and the tools necessary to guide a struggling consumer back to financial health. However, the consumer must use intelligence and caution when choosing this type of company. The following are seven tips to choosing the right management company for debt:
1. Consult With Other Debtors
If the debtor knows another person who is in a similar situation, it would be wise for him or her to speak with this person. Most people will refer a debt management company to other people if that company provided at least satisfactory services. Similarly, a user who has had a negative experience will share that information as well.
2. Check For National Accreditation
Most reputable companies will be listed on a debt assistance site and will be recognised for operating with high standards. Some places the consumer can check for information is the Association of Responsible Lending or the debt management office.
3. Choose A Company With Tenure
Companies who have been in business for long periods will be much more established and trustworthy. There will most likely be a ton of information on the internet about such a company. The consumer will be able to find customer reviews as well.
4. Weigh Customer Reviews Heavily
The individual should weigh consumer reviews very heavily when researching a debt management company. There is no reason for a customer to lie about the authenticity of a debt management company. If a company has many negative comments, the consumer should stay away from that company. Yet also be aware that some people will give negative reviews out of spite or purely because they like to give negative press.
5. Contact The Companies
The best way to find out about the sincerity and legitimacy of a firm is to make a phone call. The consumer will be able to notice a voice that is not authentic almost immediately.
6. Review The Budget
Debt management does cost money. The first thing the debtor should do is figure whether he or she will be able to handle a payment to a debt management organisation.
7. Choose A Trustworthy Debt Counsellor
The last and most important step in choosing a debt management firm is to make sure the counsellor is someone the debtor can trust. This will be the person working closely with the debtor to straighten out financial problems. He or she must be knowledgeable, honest, and caring.
