Debt Consolidation: Good or Bad?
Question:
Now considering this do you guys think debt consolidation is a good idea. Has anyone tried it? How did you guys like it. Pros and Cons. Plz I seriously need an opinion on this issue!!
Answer:
I haven't tried it, but look at it this way: Debt consolidation is ALWAYS good. It gives you more money, peace of mind, and eventually you're debt free. HOW can that be BAD?
Yes, consolidate your debt!
Don't go through a debt consolidation agency, they can cause more harm than good. Negociate with the banks and lenders directly, you may be able to get your rates reduced or eliminated. You could also take out a personal loan which has a rate less than what you are currently paying.
Also look into filing bankrupcy, since currently your income is less than your monthly payments.
You can go see someone at Consumer Credit and they will add up your debts and talk to your creditors,usually they come into an agreement where they will drop the interest and reduce your monthly payment.Some will and some won't drop the interest.But they want to get paid so they are willing to work with you.Consumer Credit is a non-profit organization so there is a 30.00 one time fee for all of their work.Check into it they are listed in the phone book directory.Hope things get better for you and your family.Good Luck.
If your debt is out of control, debt consolidation may be a good idea. Be sure to check the fees, so that you aren't ripped off.

I don't know if this company will extend into Canada, but I'm sure they could recommend someone.
I also had a debt problem. I went through American Consumer Credit Counseling and they were able to consolidate my debt and lower interest rates/payments on each account!

Consolidation for that amount may be difficult since you have no equity in a home. You should talk to a consumer credit counseling company - they can offer you guidance for a minimal fee. If you can get a consolidation loan, at a lower interest than what you are currently paying for your loans it would for sure be to your advantage.
