Which debt relief firms are honest and above board, which ones can really help?


Question:


Answer:
Consumer Credit Counseling is not a debt relief agency! If you go to them and don't complete the program, it shows up negatively on your credit report and lowers your credit score.

There is so much you can do yourself, don't recruit a third party to make payments on your behalf!

Get all your cards and statements together and sit down, grab the phone and start calling them. ask for temporary rate reductions, ask for help - they want their money, they'll work with you. And if they don't, just send something each month. The result of you doing this and a debt relief agency doing it are the same.
Consumer Credit Counseling. Non profit Contact your local YWCA
I agree. Consumer Credit Counseling. I used them to get out of $35,000 debt in about seven years. I extended this from about five years. Best move I ever made!
