Each client enrolled in our DMP is assigned a Certified Credit Counselor who will be your point of contact throughout the duration of the program. By having an assigned Account Specialist who is familiar with the status of your enrolled accounts and your progress on the program, we ensure you receive the attention and care that you need while on the DMP.

Upon receiving your file, your Account Specialist will reach out to you via email and/or phone to introduce themselves. The Account Specialist department can be reached toll-free at 800-557-1985 option 5. Please note that Account Specialists do not have extensions to ensure that you receive the assistance you need in a timely manner in the event that your Account Specialist is unavailable.

The balances on your CCC statement are estimates, only your creditor statements contain the legally true and correct balances. This is why it is important for you to send in your creditor statements every 3 months, as required by your contract.

Once your monthly DMP payment is debited from your bank account, it sits in a trust account maintained solely for client funds for 5 business days to ensure the funds clear our bank and do not return as insufficient funds. This accounting best practice was implemented to protect all our clients.

As the legal account holder, you will (and should) still receive monthly statements from your creditors. These are for you to review and retain for your records. No action is required, unless directed by your Account Specialist.

Forward any documentation you have concerns about to your Account Specialist and they will be happy to review and discuss it with you. In order to best advise you, your Account Specialist needs to see exactly what you are looking at.

After you signed your agreement, you should have received a Welcome Letter via email. Review the letter carefully and follow the instructions to change your creditor due dates so that they align with your monthly ACH date.

Your creditors require timely payments in order to continue granting DMP benefits to you. Please contact your Account Specialist immediately to discuss your options.

Send in your creditor statements for any accounts that you left off the program. Your Account Specialist will review them and advise if CCC can add these accounts to your existing DMP and potentially lower your interest rate and/or payment.

Yes! You can make extra payments at any time, and CCC does not charge a prepayment penalty fee.

Your agreement requires that all payments be made through CCC. It is crucial you pay your accounts through the DMP so that we can keep track of your progress and ensure your successful completion of the program. Contact your Account Specialist immediately if you made any payments directly to your creditors.

Contact your Account Specialist and they will obtain your payoff balance for you. Please ensure that you have the funds available as payoff balances are only accurate for a short period of time. It is crucial you pay off your accounts through the DMP so that we can keep accurate records of your progress and, eventually, your successful completion of the program.

Because your monthly DMP payment remains the same throughout the program, once an enrolled account is paid off, the extra payment is applied to the next account with the highest interest-cost, which is not necessarily the highest balance or interest rate.

Simply, this is the most mathematically efficient way to allocate the funds. By paying down the highest interest-cost account first, you will complete the program more quickly and pay less in total interest charges than you would with any other strategy.

By making extra payments through your DMP! CCC does not charge a prepayment penalty fee so feel free to contact us anytime you wish to apply extra funds towards your principal balance.
