Credit Counseling: Putting People Into Plans People Cannot Afford. Even worse, the public gets sucked into repayment plans that in our experience they cannot afford. These people spend hundreds of dollars a month on credit counseling repayment plans, which suck away money that is desperately necessitated to take care of and assist their families. Repayment plans, which virtually guarantee that in the final analysis the solitary option left, will be bankruptcy. You may ask why credit-counseling places don't spend more time making sure that the would-be customer can afford the plan. The answer is three-fold. Basic from our experience as bankruptcy attorneys, most people have not been taught how to budget and because hope runs eternal in most people. Telling somebody that you can reduce, $800 a month, down to $600 is very seductive, and in our experience, most people when asked whether they can afford the $600 per month (in our example) will naturally say "yes" without ever putting pen to paper to work out the numbers. Any savings is better than none right. Secondly, working up a truly budget of essential on a monthly basis income and expenses it just that. Basic work and it takes time and venture. Third, because taking the time to work up a truly budget of essential on a monthly basis income and expenses would reveal the ugly truth being that most of their would-be clients actually need to lower their on a monthly basis expenses a whole lot more than the credit counseling agencies could possibly offer. How do we know? In our office, time and again, we see people who have fallen out of these plans. Basic who found out the hard way that they could not afford the credit counseling company's repayment plan.
Putting people into credit counseling repayment plans that they cannot afford, only makes things worse. Individuals are left worse off than if they never signed up. It stands to reason that if you pay money on something you cannot afford then you have to take that money away from paying something else. Individuals the money is taken away from paying things far more necessary than credit card debt. Things like your car payment, house payment, or things necessitated by your children. Individuals seen Individuals lose cars and homes needlessly because they signed up for a credit counseling repayment plan rather than filing bankruptcy. What they don't tell people, in our experience, is that when you fall out of one of these credit counseling repayment plans, the credit card companies go back and retroactively add in all the interest, penalties, and late fees that they would have owed. Individuals as if you were never configured on the repayment plan.
We are sure there are people who have successfully finished one of these credit-counseling plans, but we suspect the portion is very small. From the credit card company's point of view, credit-counseling programs are always a success irrespective of if the customer completes the repayment plan. Why? Every month a customer makes a payment on one of these repayment plans is a month, the credit card companies take in more cash than if the customer filed bankruptcy. Just one more month that the customer is held out of the hands of a bankruptcy attorney.
