1. “Will this hurt my credit?”

Acknowledge: “Credit impact is one of the first things people ask — good question.”
Strategy: Honest disclosure per your compliance script; no sugarcoating.
Action: Explain typical effects your company allows you to state; ask to run their scenario on this call.

2. “How do I know you’re not a scam?”

Acknowledge: “You should ask that.”
Strategy: Verifiable company facts, fees, and what you won’t promise.
Action: Share approved proof points; invite a documented next step (application / agreement review) if they want it in writing.

3. “I need to talk to my spouse.”

Acknowledge: “Money decisions are usually two-person calls.”
Strategy: Finish discovery so the spouse conversation has numbers.
Action: Complete creditor/balance/hardship intake; book both parties or follow your shop’s joint-decision process. Do not invent payment-date closes.

4. “I’ll just pay it down myself.”

Acknowledge: “If the math works, that’s a solid path.”
Strategy: Compare timeline and monthly reality without attacking them.
Action: Map balances vs budget; if program still fits hardship criteria, ask to start your approved next step.

5. “I refuse to settle — I pay my debts.”

Acknowledge: “Wanting to pay in full says a lot about you.”
Strategy: Confirm whether your program matches that goal; don’t force settlement language if they want another path.
Action: Clarify program type; continue only if aligned; otherwise leave a respectful door open.
