What is a good, reputable debt consolidation company?
I am thinking about doing debt consolidation, but am confused by all the different companies out there. I have heard that there are a lot of shady companies. Does anyone have some helpful advice. My debt is not a huge amount ($6000), but I am tired of paying and paying on them and never seeing a difference on the balances.

can someone refer me to a free debt consolidation company?
I have alot of bills and i would like to just find a debt consolidation program that is FREE and willing to work with all my debtors. I have credit cards, medical bills, and a bank loan. I would like for all these bills to be consolidated into one low monthly payment. Does anyone have a recommendation?

How much does it cost generally to pay a debt consolidation company?
I was wondering how much does it cost to pay a debt consolidation company to help you, because I want to know if it’s worth it. I’m in so much debt making barely and I don’t know what else to do. On payday I usually just have 100-200 dollars to myself because the rest goes to my bills.

I’m in water full of Credit Card Sharks should I file for Chapter 7 or Debt Consolidation?
I’m fed up with credit card companies. I’m in debt over my head trying to keep up with my payments. These credit card companies are nothing more than legalized loan sharks. I might have been late by one or two days and now I’m being charged between 25% – 29% on all of my accounts.
I am barely making it, after I pay my bills every month I have nothing left. For about a month or two I’ve been thinking about chapter 7 or a debt consolidation program. I’ve been hanging in there trying to make my payments but what happened to me today has tipped the scales in favor of filing for chapter 7.
I tried to make a payment today on my Best Buy account and I noticed I had been already charge a late fee. I was confused as to why I was charged a late fee when I was not late. Then I noticed my due date was changed to the 25th of every month instead of the 27th. When I called them up I found out my due date was changed to the 25th back in February and that I was unknowingly paying late charges ever since. I wanted to know why my due date was changed and if they could remove the late fees.
I was given no explanation for my due date being changed and they refused to remove the late charges. They said they notified me of the changes and I should have known. I’ve been paying my bill on the 27th for 4years, and one month you decide to change it to the 25th how am i supposed to catch that.
That was the last straw for these credit card companies for me. I want to file chapter 7 but I’m worried about getting another vehicle when my lease is up 2011. I was also thinking about debt consolidation but I’ve heard some bad things about these companies too. any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I don’t need anyone to lecture me about running up credit card debt I know I did that. Just give me some good advice thanks
