Orlando, FL (PRWEB) October 20, 2017 -- InCharge Debt Solutions, a 501(c)(3) non-profit company, announced today that it is offering clients access to technology that helps them make loan payments on time and improve their financial health. Freddie Mac is providing a limited number of low- and moderate-income earners with access to EarnUp’s financial technology, which aims to reduce the likelihood of delinquency while improving savings opportunities.

“We want to help the next generation of potential American homebuyers meet their future goals,” Etta Money.

“We’re pleased to offer this innovative solution to our clients,” said Etta Money, president and chief executive officer, with InCharge Debt Solutions. “We want to help the next generation of potential American homebuyers meet their future goals.”

Clients can manage all their loans in one place using EarnUp and receive personalized recommendations on how to pay down their debts. The technology also automatically withdraws money from the clients’ accounts on payday, breaking down expenses into bite-sized payments, which ensures that each person stays current on their loans and avoids late fees.

InCharge Debt Solutions is part of Freddie Mac’s network of 14 Borrower Help Centers and the national Freddie Mac Borrower Help Network. These housing counseling agencies support Freddie Mac’s commitment to preparing prospective home buyers for long-term sustainable homeownership and helping struggling borrowers, including those with Freddie Mac-owned mortgages, avoid foreclosure.

“The increasing rate of consumer debt and the low homeownership rate lead us to believe average Americans can use help managing their debts,” said Danny Gardner, vice president of affordable lending and access to credit in Freddie Mac’s Single-Family Business. “Offering free access to EarnUp’s technology is one of the many ways we’re building on our broader community mission, which includes our efforts to stabilize communities, responsibly expand credit and educate borrowers.”

“Our experience shows that people are more likely to stay current on their loan payments if we make it quick and easy for them to do so,” said Matthew Cooper, co-founder and CEO of EarnUp. “EarnUp is proud to be working with InCharge Debt Solutions and Freddie Mac to provide technology solutions that can help consumers improve not only their credit scores but also their overall financial health.”
