“Dear Steve,
Owe $38,000. Not behind or late, just want to get out of debt.
I read your article on debt management and credit counseling and am glad I did. I am much more skeotical now about these sercvices. One company that I have seen get consistently good press, though is GreenPath Debt Solutions. What do you know about them?
Barton”
Dear Barton,
I’ve visited them before. They are headquartered in Michigan and run a strong standard consumer credit counseling service program. If you are looking for a debt management plan provider then they should easily be able to help you.
If you can easily make your minimum payments but want to try to get your interest rates reduced then it’s worth exploring. Just remember, any cards you include in a debt management plan will be closed by the issuer.
Please update me on your progress by

Interesting, I just spoke to a woman who claimed to have enrolled with Greenpath for their credit counseling program. She claimed that they told her they would just be lowering her interest rates and have her debt free in 57 months. The problem was this. Her debt is $60K and they have her only making a payment of $500 a month for 57 months. That totals only $28,500 and not even close to the $60k she owes not to mention any reduce interest rates that apply.

Hi Barton, I’ve just finished my consultation with Green Path and am also thinking about going with them I’m in the same boat as you (able to pay but don’t see myself out of debt for 10 years). I was just wondering if you decided to go with them, and if so, how is it going so far? -Anna
Steve: Thank you for sharing information about GreenPath Debt Solutions with your readers. We are proud to have been helping people achieve their financial goals since 1961. GreenPath can help explore the best way for individuals (like Barton!) to get their credit card debt, housing debt or bankruptcy concerns under control. Thanks again!
Thank you, Steve. I had a long talk with a rep from GreenPath yesterday and I am seriously thinking about trying them. They get your rates significantly down and claim that I will be out of debt within 5 years. I’ll keep you posted on what happens.
