Don't Do This

If you are a consumer in debt review, then definitely don’t make this mistake:

Try jump ship whenever things are not perfect.

No debt review is ever 100% perfect. Problems and challenges will come up both on your side and with credit providers.

Rather than just try move to another Debt Counsellor, try sort out the problem with your current Debt Counsellor. They know you; you have history together.

Switching to a new Debt Counsellor sounds easy but does have some risks. You might get better service but face new fees or lose past deals that were already in place.

Also, the grass may not be as green as you thought and your new Debt Counsellor may face the same challenges as your previous one. Especially if you have been part of the problem and missed a payment or dropped out of communication in the past.
