Do I have to include all my accounts in a debt consolidation and settlement program?
No. You may choose which debts you would like to enroll in the program. Your debt counselor will help you decide the best plan of action based on your current financial situation. However, keep in mind that it is usually in your best interest to include all your accounts that have a balance of more than $1000 in your debt settlement program. There can often be a good reason to keep one or more accounts out. Your debt counselor can go over your accounts and help you determine which, if any, to keep out.
