How Your Debt Is Calculated:

  • The pay “on your own” example assumes you make only the minimum payment.
  • We use an interest rate of 24%, the GreenPath Debt Management Plan example shown is based on getting rid of your debt within 5 years.
  • We use an average interest rate of 8%.

In most cases, we can work with your creditors to reduce your interest rate. Actual interest rates will vary by client and creditor.


NOTE: This is an example. It helps you see how a debt management plan might help you. IT IS NOT AN ACTUAL QUOTE.

We work with most creditors throughout the U.S., including banks, credit unions, retailers, medical providers, auto finance and collection agencies.

Debt Management Program set up fees and monthly fees vary based on your state of residence and debt amount. On average, GreenPath clients are charged a one-time enrollment fee of $35 and a $28 monthly fee. This is minimal considering the amount of money our clients typically save in waived late fees, waived over limit fees, and reduced credit card interest charges.

Since the goal of a debt management program is to pay off debt, the credit cards enroll in the program will be closed. Most creditors will usually allow you to continue using one card for emergencies and travel.

GreenPath is a neutral third-party that works in your best interest. Many creditors support our work because they believe it results in positive, long-term outcomes.

GreenPath does not contact the credit bureaus when you enroll in a debt management program. However, because you will be closing lines of credit during the enrollment process, your score may dip. But over time, most people see their scores increase, because they are making payments in-full and on-time each month.

Yes, they are different. Debt management plans are designed to pay off the entire amount you owe in 3 to 5 years. If we can lower your interest rates, the total amount you pay to your credit card company is typically less than if you paid on your own. Debt settlement typically involves requesting credit card companies to forgive a portion of your debt in exchange for a lump sum payment.

Debt management involves renegotiating terms with creditors through a credit counseling agency, offering benefits such as a structured repayment plan and reduced interest rates. Unlike debt consolidation, which combines debts into a single loan, debt management focuses on creating a manageable repayment strategy tailored to your financial situation.
