What
is a fixed monthly consolidated payment
The
"fixed monthly consolidated payment" is specifically calculated
to provide the client with an affordable budget while allowing
the client to sustain a reasonably comfortable standard
of living. It also provides the client with a consistent
and exact dollar amount in which to budget monthly. Clients
need only draft a single check each month to ultimately
liquidate all their accounts placed in the program.
Aside
from increasing the payment, the fixed monthly consolidated
payment also provides the quickest means to liquidate the
client's debts. When accounts, small or large, are paid
off, credit counselors then systematically apply the excess
amount to other debts remaining in the program. This method
not only accelerates liquidation, it can result in reduced
interest charges, benefiting our clients with additional
savings.
