If you are in debt, work with the creditors. Start with the highest interest rate first. Try to pay that one a little bit more then pay the minimum on the rest. Once you finish the highest interest rate, work your way down to the next highest interest rate and the next until you are all done
The cost of debt management services can vary based on the provider, your total debt, and the complexity of your situation. With a trusted provider like Better Debt Solutions, here’s a general idea of what you might expect: Initial consultation & setup fee: Many reputable companies provide a free or low-cost initial assessment to review income, debts, and repayment capacity. Monthly service fee: Once enrolled in a structured plan, you’ll make one monthly payment that goes toward your creditors. A portion of that may cover administration or service costs. Typically, you’re still paying off your existing debt so the goal is not to inflate costs but to lower interest and simplify payments. Negotiated savings: Because the service commits to negotiating with creditors on your behalf (e.g., lowering interest rates or waiving late fees), the effective cost to you may be significantly lower than what you’d pay managing debts on your own. With Better Debt Solutions, you’ll receive a transparent breakdown of all fees, a clear explanation of how payments are allocated, and a realistic plan to become debt-free. Their approach focuses on reducing overall repayment cost, combining multiple debts into one manageable monthly payment, and avoiding hidden charges.
