John pagó $8,455 en deuda de tarjeta de crédito

After struggling with debt for much of his life, John, a Palm Springs, California resident, began by getting a clear picture of what he owed. Through GreenPath's Debt Management Program, he paid off $8,455 in credit card debt and moved toward greater financial stability.

Why John Needed a Clear Debt Repayment Plan

John did not have a clear picture of how much he owed, making it difficult to create a realistic debt repayment plan.

Without a complete view of his credit card balances, he found it challenging to measure progress or understand his available options.

Mantenerse al día con los gastos del hogar y los pagos mensuales de la tarjeta de crédito se volvió cada vez más difícil.

John turned to GreenPath, a national nonprofit financial counseling organization, for help organizing his finances and addressing his debt.
