Who knows of an honest business for debt consolidation?
I keep hearing all these adds and they sound good. I am sinking quickly and need to get out of this mess and I would like to avoid bankruptcy,. Thanks in advance!
Please don't use "debt consolidation". It is not free. It takes you longer to get out of debt and it is almost as damaging to your credit as a bankruptcy. Here is a plan that can help. If you work the plan, the plan will work for you.
A. Have a garage sale and sell whatever you don't use or need and use that money to pay down your debt.
B. Consider getting a temporary part time job and use all of that salary to pay off your debt quicker. It is better to have a no fun year
than a no fun decade.
1. Make a budget. Make the budget a week before you get paid. A budget is not a punishment! It is a tool which will free you from ever having to worry about money again. Put everything in your budget. Especially those annual, biannual, or quarterly bills like car registration, insurance, etc. Give every dollar you are going to bring home the name of where it is going. Add an "emergency fund" category to your budget for 25 dollars and save up until you have 1000-1250 dollars. Your emergency fund will help keep you from getting into new debt because of an emergency. If you can, set up a direct transfer to a savings account for your emergency fund. That way it moves automatically and you don't even have to worry about it. You must cut your spending and live on less than you make.
2.First get current on all of you debts, if you are not already, and make no more late payments, if you have had any. Stop using your credit cards immediately. Do not take on any more debt. Credit cards are like quicksand only the death is much slower. Make a list of all of your debts in order of highest interest rate to lowest interest. Use cash only for your spending from now on.
3.Pay the minimum due on all of your debts and then put your extra money towards paying off the highest interest one first. After you get that one paid off, you put the money you were paying on debt #1 (the minimum payment and the extra payment) towards debt #2. That will pay debt #2 off faster. When that is paid off, you put all three payments towards card #3 and that one will be paid off pretty quickly. As an example:
To start :
Debt #1 (highest interest): minimum payment+ extra payment
Debt #2 (middle interest): minimum payment
Debt #3(lowest interest): minimum payment
Debt #1: paid off
Debt #2: minimum payment from Debt #1+ Minimum payment from Debt #2 +extra payment
Debt #3: minimum payment
Debt #1: paid off
Debt #2: paid off
Debt #3: minimum payment from card #1+ minimum payment from Debt #2+ minimum payment from Debt #3+ extra payment.
That way, you will get them all paid off, on time, and pay the least interest. It will also help towards rebuilding your credit since you will no longer have any late payments. This works no matter how many different debts you may have.
4. After you get all of your debts paid off, add to your emergency fund until you have 6-12 months of income saved up. Put that emergency fund money into a liquid money market fund or into a Bank of America no-risk CD so that if you need the money you can take it out without penalty.
5a. When you have your emergency fund in place, add a category for "fun" to your budget. Save for a holiday, a vacation, a big screen, or dinners out, whatever goal you want. Remember to enjoy your life.
5b. When you have your emergency fund in place, start saving for your retirement. Join the 401(k) plan at work and contribute the maximum. Your employer probably matches at least part of your contribution so why give up free money? Open a Roth IRA and contribute the maximum on a monthly basis. If you start saving for your retirement now, you will probably retire a millionaire.
5c. When you have your emergency fund in place, start saving for your next car. Only buy cars, or other things that depreciate, with cash. Save up for a nicer car. That way you get the interest instead of paying the interest.
You can fix the mess yourself.
1. Obtain your report through.....www.creditreport.com
2. Review all open items (first I would check to see if anything on your report does not belong to you and if it don't belong to you dispute it with that credit bureau (ex. experian, equifax and or transunion).
3. The one's that belong to you call up the collection agency and offer them an amount and let them know what you can afford (ex. I had a bill for $1000 that I owed on and I offered to settled $300 and they except offer). Also, please make sure you get everything in writing to have for your record.
4. Also, another suggestion you can write letters to and negotiate as well.

I want start paying off my debt...but don't know what a good debt consolidation business is?
What is the difference between debt consolidation and credit counseling? I want to combine them all and just make payments so i can get my credit cleaned up and in the future get a home loan to buy a house. Are there any good suggestions. I'm not quite sure the best way to go about this. I owe a little over $10,000 but most is in hospital bills that have been sent to collections, and my student loans which i can make payments on but would like to make one payment to cover a little bit of each. Any advice? I've only ever had one credit card, but have made stupid decisions elsewhere with my ex and utilities such as the phone and television bill.
A debt consolidation business is just another fancy name for a way to spend more money to do what you can do on your own. Why pay someone else to pay your monthly bills (they charge a monthly fee to do so).
Avoid credit repair agencies that charge a fee to improve your FICO score by removing negative, but accurate, information from your credit reports. No one can force credit reporting agencies or lenders to remove accurate information from a credit report. Credit repair companies often take your money without delivering what they promise, or provide only temporary improvements of your score, sometimes by removing accurate information that will reappear later.
If you are strapped and trying to get some relief, then go to the following FTC web site to locate a counselor in your area. There are some that waive any fees if your income is too low.

Hope this answers your question
Whats the general opinion on debt consolidation businesses being on the up and up?
Almost all are fraudulent. And most charge you for things you could do yourself, like a letter to the credit-card companies to inactivate your account so you don't charge anything else on it.
If they claim to be non-profit, walk on. They will rip you off, often stealing your identity in the process.
There is legitimate Chapter 13 bankruptcy debt consolidation, BUT GO THRU AN ACTUAL ATTORNEY!
Is Debt Consolidation a good thing for my credit score or will it damage it ?
Being a recent grad and not in my prefered area of employment is rough, as it is for many recent grads. My dilemma is my finances. My poor financial decisions (i.e. CREDIT CARD DEBT) in college has caught up with me and it is racking my brain. I have considered debt consolidation because of the seemingly positive benefits of reducing my payments and paying just one bill...BUT is it too good to be true? It seems that there are quite a few debt consolidation businesses popping up and that is cause enough to sit up and really ask what's really going on. I mean, is it really good for my credit (as well as my mental well-being)? Am I better off just toughin it out or should I take the leap and just take a chance with a reputable debt consolidation company? What's a poor girl to do?
Don't go there. Call your credit card company and negotiate the interest rate. They will usually work with you and drop it way down as low as 6 percent if you are tough about it. Then pay off as soon as possible. Other wise you got a snow ball that will roll up bigger and bigger. Just use the rule of 72, what you do is divide the interest rate by 72. If it is 12 percent then 72/12 equals 6 and your debt doubles in six years. That means you got to get the interest rate down and pay it off with a dead line. Good luck!
Where can I obtain small business financing for debt consolidation?
I don't understand your question. By their very nature all debts are financed, that's why they're called debts. I've never heard of anyone financing a small business in order to consolidate the company's debts. Typically, this would be done by writing corporate bonds.
I Need a Loan for Debt Consolidation and My Business?
I am in massive credit card debt and I am delinquent on my payments because my husband lost his job and his pay was our main source of income. We have been living on my measly little income and things got bad. During that time I started a Direct selling business to make up some of the difference. It has been going well and I am ready to invest more in it. Also my husband got a new and better job FINALLY!!! Now I need a loan for BAD credit to consolidate my credit cards and to invest in my business. I need around $10,000. Does anyone know something that might help me?
i doubt that you will read this -- by the time you flip through all of the schemers you will be fed up and just quit and rightly so. look first of all you are not in that much debt -- why borrow and pay a fee to settle this debt.. i think you should step back and regroup. take what profits your company brings in and reinvest in your company and use your husband earning to pay down the outstanding debt.
