When to Seek Help?
- Taking short cuts, like going to a payday lender
- Struggling to make the minimum payments on your CC
- Getting a cash advance for everyday expenses
- Harassed by creditors at all hours
After a free 15-minute consultation, counselors work up an action plan, which details suggestions the debt counselor has for their household budget or, if necessary, suggestions for entering into a debt-management plan to lower credit-card interest rates and debt.

I tried debt counseling...it wasn't worth it. I found a reputable debt settlement company and have cut the payments in half, have closed 3 credit cards at less than 50% of the balance, and am way better off than consolidating or bankruptcy. Sure, my credit has been killed, but it was when I maxed out the cards and besides, I'm not looking to get more debt, just get out of the slavish rates/fees of credit cards. With debt consolidation it just prolonged the pain and inevitable. Debt settlement is way more deliberate and final. I'll be out of debt front to back in 2 years, the credit cards will get back way more of the balance than if I declared bankruptcy, and we can all start moving past this dark chapter. I recommend it to anyone. The guy I used was with DRC, his name was Rob 858-483-9600 x104...but go ahead and do your homework and find someone that fits you. This guy was a straight shooter and has gone to battle for me. That's not what i can say for the credit card co.s or debt counseling.
ReplyDeleteI suggest you look for a company that offers both Credit Counseling and Debt Settlement. This allows the debt counselor to suggest multiple options, allowing you to choose the debt management agreement that fits your needs.
