If you pay BOA directly you are putting yoru credit counselor out of a job! Please send the money directly to them....Of course this will save you on interest. In fact each time you get an extra 50 bucks, do the same...this will save you an untold 100's of bucks...an agreement is an agreement...I would think that they would abide by it but even if they dont, you are paying them off more quickly Pull your credit report NOW i betcha that you will be shocked to find your 'counselor' has given you alot of bad information.... I believe that debt management screws up your credit as much as filing bankruptcy<br><b>References : </b><br> CONSIDER THE SOURCE of this information…..

They will question why they made the settlement. It is good that you want to pay more now, but in the eyes of the creditor, they will se it as, "why wasnt it paid like this originally?" Think of it this way, you make the payment you are thinking of making now, and BOA breaks the settlement agreement, in a few months you run into a bad spot again, and can't pay what they are expecting you to pay, interest piles up again, the guy below me did not think of that. BAD ADVICE. My info is coming from someone that owns a collection agency, and knows the result of what you are talking about. I work with debt counselors everyday, and although at times they seem to not know much, a good portion of them are VERY knowledgeable.<br><b>References : </b><br> I would actually say Yes, abide by the credit counselor. card companies are famous for retracting settlement amounts and monthly payments, especially if they see that you have money.
