A Word Of Caution

Some companies will claim they do a number of debt solutions for free and charge nothing for their services. You will also come across companies that take a percentage of your monthly MDI for making your payments.

First, nobody does anything for free as we all know and the tendency is that these companies actually act in the best interest of the creditor (to whom you owe the money) and will receive payments from the creditor for achieving set targets. (See free services)

The companies that take a percentage of your monthly amount may be inclined to push your MDI to an unrealistic amount causing the Personal Plan to fail due to a lack of resources.

Although creditors may accept reduced payments, it is important to remember that creditors retain all of their legal rights, and it does not affect the terms and conditions of the agreement, which means they are still entitled to make demands for full payment as well as charge interest and late payment fees. And at any time, they may instigate legal proceedings against you.
