How Your Debt Is Calculated
- The pay “on your own” example assumes you make only the minimum payment.
- We use an interest rate of 24 percent. The GreenPath debt management plan example shown is based on getting rid of your debt within five years.
- We use an average interest rate of 8 percent .
In most cases, we can work with your creditors to reduce your interest rate. Actual interest rates will vary by client and creditor.

Which creditors do you work with?
We work with most creditors throughout the U.S., including banks, credit unions, retailers, medical providers, auto finance and collection agencies.
Can I still use my credit cards on a debt management program?
Since the goal of a debt management program is to pay off debt, the credit cards enroll in the program will be closed. Most creditors will usually allow you to continue using one card for emergencies and travel.
Will a debt management plan hurt my credit score?
GreenPath does not contact the credit bureaus when you enroll in a debt management program. However, because you will be closing lines of credit during the enrollment process, your score may dip. But over time, most people see their scores increase, because they are making payments in-full and on-time each month.
Are debt management plans differ from debt settlement?
Yes, they are different. Debt management plans are designed to pay off the entire amount you owe in 3 to 5 years. If we can lower your interest rates, the total amount you pay to your credit card company is typically less than if you paid on your own. Debt settlement typically involves requesting credit card companies to forgive a portion of your debt in exchange for a lump sum payment.
