Ironically, the same month we signed up to do FPU through a small group at our church, I was placed on a paid administrative leave from teaching due to residual effects from my aneurysm and stroke.

During the two months which I did receive full pay and the five remaining months when I received 80% of my salary, we followed the plan as best as we could and managed to eliminate more than $10,000.00 in debt. There still remains, however, about $25,000.00.

I made the higher income so the loss of my income has been a serious blow. Fortunately, my husband is able to supplement things somewhat by doing free-lance work in addition to his regular job. I was also just had my long term disability application approved by my employer’s insurance company as well as through the teacher retirement association. Even so, there is still a huge slash in our income and I am now unable to work. No one is standing in line to hire people with brain injuries and someone who is unmeasurable.

The good news is over the past 10 months by taking what we learned through FPU, we managed to not be delinquent on any of our bills whatsoever and even have our $1,000.00 emergency fund in savings plus some extra which will cover my salary loss for the next four to five months. Also, my health insurance was through my husband’s employer rather than through my own and I have just been told that due to my situation, the life insurance I had through my employer may be eligible to continue free of cost to me until I reach age 70 due to the nature of my disability.

However, and this is a big however. Even with all of the economizing which we have done, we were still facing a shortfall of about $1,200.00 a month due to unsecured debt.

Yes, we could have tried to negotiate lower interest rates on our own but we’d tried to do that in the past after my last illness and it was to no avail back then, even though we’d been current on payments up until that point.

It’s better now but still pretty sizable and when you add an upside down mortgage to that, it isn’t pretty.

I’m a former teacher and my union offered a benefit with a non-profit company who set up a DMP for us. We’d managed to make our very high interest payments earlier but knew we’d be unable too do so very soon.

In our situation, the DMP monthly fees are refunded to us after one year of completion in the program. With my health issues, the small administrative fee I pay has certainly been worth it. With my brain injury, the last thing I need is angry callers!

Now I must add that prior to going on the DMP, we’d managed to pay down $9,000 in debt in about nine months so we’d already made some good changes. It was just with the reduction in income and my inability to work, we would not be able to keep up the pace for more than a few months more. We still have a shortfall, even with the DMP but with careful management and God providing overtime and free lance opportunities for my husband, we’ve been able to get by. We decided to concentrate on our largest payment which is our vehicles which will be free and clear in just a few months and then we will at least have some breathing space.

In our case, I believe the DMP was a very good move. In fact, nowadays, negotiating a lower rate can be very difficult unless you do so through a DMP.

As far as the credit report goes, I have a monthly subscription and it has not had a negative impact on my score. Granted, I’d been current on all my bills at the time so that has helped. They are still reporting that I am paying as agreed and simply say I am enrolled in a payment program. The score has stayed the same since I began this four months ago.

If you are looking at a DMP, I think you need to do your homework on the company you choose before employing them. I also think you need to be in a situation such as mine where the possibility of a permanent loss of income due to employment is very real.

Also, I think you need to monitor things. For years I have paid a small monthly fee to one of the credit bureaus which enables me to pull up both my credit score and how they are reporting all accounts as often as I like at no additional charge. I also have made it a habit for the past couple of years to check all of my credit card accounts online every day for a number of years.

Yes, sure enough, last night I confirmed that when my DMP said the companies accepted the agreement, it was true. I didn’t simply take their word for it. That’s not smart! I verified things with my creditors myself, just to be safe.

I think it is is like anything else. Although someone else is making the payment on your behalf, you are still responsible for ensuring it is done. Don’t just take their word for it. That’s silly! Continue to verify things with your creditors as well on a monthly basis. It is easier to fix something right when it happens as opposed to three to five years down the road.

BTW, we did pay off three debts under the snowball plan and another one will be paid off next month. I am applying that to my car payment and will have my car paid off in February. Then, you guessed it.

As leader or Manager in an enterprise needed the ability to be able to optimize the productivity, by focusing fix all problems that arise in the workplace through mechanisms of coaching & counseling. The Manager’s role is the key to success here is to make employees manage the problems of using the resources of their own.

Data results coaching & counseling can also be used as a data source in order of succession planning. From this data we can find out the strengths and weaknesses of employees, which can be recorded to be used as consideration in planning promotions. Development of employee skills and behavior may also be known to flee through another sangria counseling results sent to HRD.

With the three skills of managers in coaching & counseling which includes listening skills (when it found a problem), defining skill problems (in order to find the true cause) and skill facilitating discovery solutions, managers are expected to be the facilitator. The Task Manager is to help optimize resources for his subjects to solve problems or achieve the target. How to do these things and what competencies you need can be found in this training.

Companies like Consumer Credit Counseling Service can help you get better interest rates and lower payments, but at a price. When you use one of these companies and then try to get a Conventional, FHA, or VA loan, you will be treated the same as if you had filed Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Mortgage underwriting guidelines for traditional mortgages will consider your credit trashed, so don’t do it. Real debt help is found only in changing your behavior.

In short, debt management companies are out. Hard work is in. Change your financial behavior and change your life—for good. True debt management is about one thing: you controlling your money.

Real Debt Management

The good news is that there’s not some magical, mystical formula to good debt management. The solution is common sense and having a plan for your Total Money Makeover. Grandma’s simple way of handling money. Good debt management is 80% behavior and 20% head knowledge. It isn’t rocket science as some debt management companies try to make you believe.

Is it easy? No. In fact, it’s really hard most of the time. But it’s worth it. It’s amazing to see people change their lives through simple determination and having a plan that works every time. Once you have a real debt management plan in place, its only a matter of time.

We have people every week email or call us about how they have paid off $10k, $20k, sometimes even $100,000 in debt. Now, you may be thinking, “Yeah, right. They must be making six figures to do that.” NO! These are just people who are serious about getting out of debt. Many of them are making $30,000 to $50,000 when they decided to be debt free. It’s all a matter of attitude. We call it “gazelle intensity.”
