If you’re drowning in debt, it might be time to seek help. Debt management assistance can help you get back on your feet.
Union Plus Credit Counseling and Debt Management Plans are administered through Money Management International (MMI), a national nonprofit dedicated to changing lives and creating fresh starts for families and individuals struggling with financial challenges.
Debt and budget experts work with you to revamp your spending, create a repayment plan to help you successfully eliminate your debt, while negotiating perks like reduced interest rates and waived creditor fees.
Union members who need additional help eliminating debt can receive an enrollment fee waiver for the Debt Management Plan (DMP) available through Union Plus Credit Counseling.
Plus, union members can receive a grant to reimburse the monthly DMP fees after 12 months of successful participation in the DMP.
These grants are only available as long as funds last.

I made a phone call, and wow—one phone call to Union Plus—they really helped me out. It was incredible. It was almost like a dream.
What I’m so impressed by is the fact that Union Plus is providing benefits for and actually caring about hard working Americans.
