2. For-profit management companies may now be cheaper. The amount of grants and funding that went to non-profit companies has been cut back, which means that they’ve had to raise their rates. For-profit companies have remained relatively the same.

3. Get an education. A good debt management company will also provide you with a lot materials on how to keep yourself out of debt and get your credit score back up. Take your business elsewhere if they aren’t willing to do this.

4. Get flexibility. Another fairly new service that many debt management companies are offering is flexible rates. This usually means that as time goes on and you’ve made payments on time, your rates are reduced.

5. Increased competition means more companies entering the market. You have the power to use whichever company you want, so go with the one that makes you feel comfortable. Most plans have you working with a company for 5+ years, find the one that treats you courteously and respectfully.
