Debt counseling pros

• When you are in debt settlement, creditors cannot take action against you.
• There is no permanent record of having undergone debt counseling.
• There is only one monthly payment to be made, and it's a fixed amount.
• No longer will you get calls from your creditors demanding payments. Everything is forgotten and it's as if you had never made those debts. Once you’re finished with your debt counseling, you start fresh and begin to rebuild your credit score.

Debt counseling cons

• While working with debt counselors, you're not allowed to take on more debt.
• There are many ways for you to save money in the long term, but just learning what fees are mandatory vs. what fees are not can help you save in the short term.
• There are many debt consolidation services that help people to pay off their debt easily by paying off less per month on lower rates.

You will also get your credit rating back to where it should be, which can help you take out loans in the future. The cons of debt counseling are that you are likely to have to deal with creditors.
