Any kind of debt management program would affect in your credit
Any kind of debt management program would affect in your credit score but it'd still be a better alternative than drowning in debt. Credit score would heal with time and practice.
Have you tried negotiating the rate with the creditors? If you are still current on your bills you may try this option. It'd cause minimum damage to your report.
