What are the pros and cons of consumer credit counselling and debt consolidation?
Blk Angel asked:
Hello, I am in desperate need of some advice as my situation is just getting out of hand. I used to have a credit score of almost 800 about 2 years ago. Now I dont even bother to check my score anymore. I made the mistake of getting some rental properties with ARMS. As time passed, bad tenants, rising interest rates and a recent wedding have REALLY put me upside down. I have tried and tried everything. A couple of my properties have nearly been foreclosed on. I have tried those firms that dispute credit issues but thats not helping out. The thing is, my revolving debt is really not that bad, I only have two revolving accounts, but they are maxed out. I just need to catch up on them and also straighten out my mortgages. I have thought of consumer credit counselling and wanted to know its pros and cons, any advice would be grateful. Thanks!

What is the difference between Debt Consolidation and Credit Counseling? I have a place in mind that does debt
Professor Bradley asked:
consolidation but charges a $40 fee. They also do credit counseling (which I don’t need.) I just need to lower my monthly payments because of high interest. I don’t want a service like credit conseling to effect my credit score. Any response would be appreciated.
I definately don’t need any credit counseling as much of my debt was accrued through phenomenal interest.
I just want to have one payment a month with the lowest possible interest.

How do I find a ligitimate debt consolidation loan?
becky asked:
I am looking to take out a loan to pay off about $4000.00 in credit card debt. Unfortunately, my credit score is pretty low. How do I find a reliable place to borrow money from? I understand that my interest rate will be higher. I’m just not sure where to begin looking or where to start for that matter. thanks.

Where is the best place to go for a debt consolidation loan that won’t hurt my credit?
jneal83 asked:
I have a ton of revolving debt (mostly credit cards) and just bought a house 5 months ago so I don’t have much for collateral. I’ve already been denied by a bank so is there anywhere I can turn to for cosolidation purposes that isn’t going to kill my credit? I want to consolidate my high interest credit cards onto a lower interest loan and need suggestions.

Anyone have any suggestions for debt consolidation?
KD asked:
My husband & I have a large amount of credit card debt & in the economic times right now it is getting very hard to pay them & make a dent in the balance other than just paying the minimum payment, if we can even do that. Does anyone have any suggestions for debt consolidators? Have you used it yourself? Are there fees? Details please, Thank You!
