John's Financial Challenges

  • From early adulthood, John struggled to manage everyday living expenses and credit card debt.
  • Past issues with credit history posed an additional hurdle.
  • Like many, John experienced a COVID-related income change.

Changing His Narrative

Debt and past credit history were significant stressors in John’s life.

Rather than carrying the burden alone, John decided to be proactive. And his credit union was a big part of the process.  His credit union suggested John connect with the counselors at GreenPath Financial Wellness.

How can a debt management plan help me?

John is one of many clients who have found financial reprieve through a Debt Management Plan. Here are just a few of the benefits:

  • One simple payment. We make handling debt easy (because personal finance is complicated enough.) Rather than keeping track of multiple monthly statements, interest rates, and due dates, you’ll just have one streamlined statement. Our clients feel real relief when they have a simplified payment schedule.
  • More savings. We have a working relationship with virtually every major creditor. What does this mean for you? Often more money in your pocket through reduced interest rates, fees, and monthly payments. Depending on how much debt you currently carry, these savings can translate to thousands of dollars in savings across time.
  • Less stress. Debt is a major source of anxiety for many Americans. The good news? You don’t have to manage that burden alone. Caring, qualified counselors will help create a manageable payment plan, and 93% of people served by GreenPath have reduced financial stress.

In 2021, $237 million was paid toward debt on GreenPath’s Debt Management Plan.
GreenPath has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
