Navigating Life After Divorce
It didn’t take long for the credit card debt Jenifer accrued to get out of control. She’d relied on credit to help her move and set up a new home, but now the consequences were overwhelming. She had constant anxiety about how she was going to pay it off.
All I could do was think about my debt and how I was going to survive.
When She Reached Her Breaking Point
As the balances grew, minimum payment barely made a dent and it became clear that Jenifer wouldn’t be able to keep up with things long-term. She needed help, which meant getting out of the driver’s seat and asking professionals to steer her out of debt.
It’s a step she didn’t take lightly and after a lot of online searching, one she entrusted to Accredited Debt Relief.
My first phone call felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders — like there was still hope.
A Plan She Could Afford
Jenifer worked with her Consolidation Specialist to review her options. Ultimately, they helped her find a plan that she could afford on a timeframe that made sense for her debt and future goals.
After she started with Accredited Debt Relief, her monthly payments on eligible accounts dropped from $1,142 to $701 — saving her $440 every month.
The best thing is paying off my debt at an affordable rate.
