Therefore, you need to be aware of what is happening with your accounts.  You also want to make sure that the agency fulfills its promises to you. In any debt management program, it is important to:

  • Always be sure you make regular and timely payments to the agency.
  • Contact the agency for any contact information changes.;
  • Continue to monitor your monthly statements each and every month for accuracy. If you notice any discrepancies, you should notify the agency immediately.
  • When unable to make a scheduled payment, contact the agency immediately to discuss options.
  • If you find that the agency has neglected to make your payments to your creditors, contact the agency immediately.
