GreenPath pros and cons

GreenPath costs, terms, and who qualifies

Settlement companies try to get creditors to accept less than you owe, usually while you stop paying. A debt management plan from a counseling agency keeps you paying in full, often at a lower rate. The costs and the damage to your credit are not the same.

Before you commit to GreenPath, ask for today’s terms in writing for the exact product or service you want. Pin down every one-time and recurring charge, who qualifies, which states are covered, and how you cancel or get out.

Who GreenPath is for

GreenPath belongs on your list if you’re looking at credit counseling. Start with the fit above, then put its written terms next to the other companies in this category before you commit.

When someone else may be the better pick

An advertised 'save 50%' figure ignores fees and the people who drop out. Ask what share of enrolled customers finish the program and what the average customer pays all in, fees included.

A debt management plan repays what you owe in full. It is not a negotiated reduction. If that doesn’t suit you, look at the alternatives below before you go any further.

What to ask GreenPath

1. Am I signing up for settlement or a debt management plan?
2. What are the fees, and when do you collect them?
3. What happens if a creditor refuses to deal?
4. Can I get the full agreement and today’s terms in writing?

How we reviewed GreenPath

We keep what a company says about itself separate from what we could verify. A company only gets a score once we’ve confirmed its identity, current terms, and real costs and run it through the category’s research process. Until then, no number.
