Improving macroeconomic numbers will hide continuing "pain and suffering" that will last for several years, a leading businessman warning yesterday that many Bahamians would not feel economic recovery because they were "digging themselves out of a debt hole".
Franklyn Wilson, the Arawak Homes and Sunshine Group of Companies chairman, made an impassioned plea to Bahamians to "lay-off consumer borrowing", warning that "indiscipline" in this area was leading to serious consequences for over-leveraged households and individual Bahamians.
And he argued that the biggest growth area for consumer lending - debt consolidation loans - was regressive, rather than progressive, as this just created the climate for Bahamians to borrow even more and become further indebted.

Do debt consolidation companies pay off credit cards that are already in the hands of a law firm/collector?
Chase filed a law suit against my husband for a delinquent credit card. He never had to go to court but they (the law firm) wanted $300/mt until the card was paid off. We're still paying on it and it's a huge budget buster! We only have a few other outstanding/low amount bills. I was wondering if debt consolidation companies would consolidate this Chase bill as well so we can get these people out of our lives!
well you could borrow the money from some other source the source would make a check payable to chase and the other folks you owe money to -- but do not fall in the trap a lot of folks do!!! the are out of debt except for this one big debt and than they take there credit cards and go on a spending junket!!!
Tell them if they and a few others do not make respond favorably, you will file bankruptcy (threat not to carry out).
You have 2 options: First, a loan (either a personal loan or refinance a mortgage if you are a home-owner) and you will not qualify based on credit in your situation.
Second, a debt resolution program like credit counseling or debt settlement. Neither would be ideal since you don't have a lump sum contribution to settle and the account is already in a stipulated judgment status.
You are best off just calling the law firm and negotiating for a one time settlement directly with them. Assume it will be somewhere between 80%-100% of what you owe.
