How CareOneCredit Works
There are two types of debt consolidation plans available, a debt
management plan or a settlement plan. You will work with a certified
coach who is expert in debt management to determine which plan is right
for you. Once you find what you agree is affordable, they will work with
your creditors to reduce interest rates and eliminate late fees.
If you enroll with their debt relief program you will need to pay a
set-up fee and a monthly service fee. They then provide electronic
payment processing linked to creditors to reliably process your payments
to creditors each month. You will be able to access to money management
education and other resources to help you build a sound financial
future.
Pros and Cons
Some clients reported that they have positive experience and succeed
making new payment plans with the company. You can expect, though, to
find one complaint or two on the place such as ripoffreport.com.
Their website looks professional and has a community forum with a fair
amount of activity.
CareOneCredit is a for profit business. Even though they have list of
testimonials from satisfied clients, if you are considering enrolling in
their debt relief plan make sure you can afford the payment because you
cannot miss even one.
