debt consolidation programs
How do I go about eliminating my credit card debt?
I am 23 with a nine-month-old son, and I owe (on top of my student loans from college) approximately ,000 in credit card debt. I am looking to do a debt management/consolidation program, but was wondering if I should just contact those credit card companies that say to call them if I have "financial difficulties" instead? Also, which debt consolidation programs would you refer, if any? Thank you!
Bank loan or debt consolidation program for credit card payoff?
Due to a family tragedy, my husband and I are currently in ,000 of credit card debt. All of the payments are current and the cards are paid on time with the accounts still open (we are not still charging, though). We are looking to seriously pay this down before the interest eats us alive. My husband wants to take out a bank loan and pay the cards off that way, but I am wondering about the debt consolidation programs you hear about (I know some of those are scams and some are real). Any advice or experience?
Debt consolidation or not?
I am having a hard time choosing between solution to my debt problem. i have around 00 in credit card debts right now. All of them are in collection agencies now and I have no means in paying all of them and all are delinquent too. I've been thinking of doing a debt program. I've been looking around and have seen debt consolidation programs, debt settlement programs, consumer credit counseling, credit counseling agencies and debt management plan… and I have a feeling there are more I don't know of. My question is which one would be the best option. By now I know my credit is bad and I have nothing to put into collateral. I'm not really comfortable in doing anything online because I want to see and talk to someone face to face. What are the fees involved in the programs? Do you have to pay them monthly too? I just need all the information I can get right now.
