Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between MMI's DMP and DRP?

A DMP repays your full balance at a reduced interest rate. A Debt Resolution Plan (DRP) is MMI's option for situations where a DMP may not be sufficient — ask a counselor which applies to your situation.

Is MMI accredited?

MMI states it is accredited by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) and the Council on Accreditation (COA).
