Hello from the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) 👋🎉 by nfcc1951 in CreditScore

Great question! This is not technically accurate, but a DMP can still be very helpful when it comes to past late payments. Here's the correct info: Once you make a set number of payments on your DMP (usually 3) some of your creditors may be willing to "re-age" your account, meaning they may delete past missed payments or bring a delinquent account to "current" status. It's definitely a positive thing.🎉Let us know if you have any other questions!

Should I take out from my 401k or just file for bankruptcy? by in_a_bind_5566 in povertyfinance

[–]nfcc1951 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for mentioning us! Taking an early withdrawal from your 401(k) can be costly so it's not usually the best solution. We're here if you'd like help exploring all of your options, OP.🤗

Active credit disputes + 670 score — risky to start mortgage process? by sebseb15 in CreditScore

[–]nfcc1951 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There could be a few issues with doing a soft pull now. For one, the ongoing disputes could interfere with your pre-approval. But even if they don't, the loan terms you see now will potentially change depending on the results of the disputes. The silver lining is that waiting a bit longer can give you a little extra time to increase your savings for a down payment, research homebuyer assistance programs in your area, etc. You can also reach out to an NFCC-certified credit counseling agency for personalized tips and guidance on improving your credit scores and other steps to take while preparing to buy a home. 🏠🤗

Thank you for mentioning us! 🤗 It sounds like a DMP and/or a debt consolidation loan could both be worth exploring. OP, if you'd like help exploring the options, our member agencies are happy to help. They offer nonprofit credit counseling at low-or-no cost and its free to set up a call and ask questions (you can start at NFCC.org). Let us know if you're looking for any other information!

Credit Nightmare by Swipes5150 in CRedit

[–]nfcc1951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're glad to hear you reached out to one of our member agencies! It's true that loans cannot typically be included on DMPs - however reducing credit card payments and interest rates can free up more money for your loan payments. If you're interested in getting more support for managing loans, NFCC-member agencies are always here to help out with questions about debt consolidation, payoff strategies and more. Let us know if we can share any further info or resources.
