    Anyone ever use Debt reduction sevices?

    Hubby and I decided to use one of these places that consolidate all your credit card bills. It looked damn good on paper and we thought at the end of three years that we would have these high interest rate CC's paid off..

    our beginning debt was around $15,000 (maybe under a bit..but not sure)

    after 20 months of paying these fuckers..$400 a month, we are now down to $13,500....The company actually thought I would swallow this bullshit.

    Some of the credit cards had higher balances than when we handed them over to them. They have only got one of the origional 8 down by $600..the rest are at the same balance

    one in particular is $1000 over the limit.

    They dropped one because their computer program told them it was paid off.... I checked and it was at $260 because of all the late fees..grrrrrr

    They kept telling us that all those late fees that acquired when they first started would be dropped. Seems all I have been paying is the late fees from when we first started with them.. which I wouldnt have if I would have kept paying the bills.

    If i start paying the credit cards now.. I am afraid there will be even higher balances because they have a stupid contract with this debt reduction company to jack our shit back up if we go back to taking control ourselves.
    This also looks like a bankruptcy on your credit report..but they don't tell you this

    Has anyone else had a problem with these companies.. anyone had a success stories with these companies?

    I've got to regain my composure before I deal with them Monday morning.. I already came unglued in the office once..

      I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                  I've heard nothing but complaints from everyone I know that has tried using these companies.

                  Your best bet if you own your home is to take out a mortgage for the required amount to fully pay off all your high interest debt, then promptly cut all the cards up and don't use credit cards again until the mortgage is paid off.

                      Ouch hon. I wish you'd been able to read Dave Ramsey's book "Financial Peace" before you did that.

                      Yes, it now reads as a bankruptcy on your credit report. Nice of the scam arists to tell you that, isn't it?

                      Call your creditors personally. Get a copy of your credit report. Tell the scam company that you don't want their bullshit anymore, and start taking care of things yourself.

                      If you have car payments, get rid of the car. Buy a beater that works well enough to do what you need to do.

                      Credit is a bad word. Debit is much better. No more credit cards. No more charges on any credit cards. Do a plasectomy and cut those fuckers up.

                      When you see your credit report, take notes on how much goes to whom. Most of the time, if you call them and tell them, "Look, I want to pay your back, but I'd appreciate it if there was a way to lower the payments", they'll work with you, sometimes even lowering the total amount owed.

                      Pay the smallest off first. When that's completely paid off, use the money that you would have paid them and add it to the amount for the next payoff. This is called a debt snowball. Every time you pay off a creditor, roll the extra money into the payment for the next creditor. As an example, if you were paying $100 a month to creditor #1 and you pay him off, add that $100 to the $100 you will now pay to creditor #2, making the payment $200.

                      Drop me an email and I'll send you a copy of Financial Peace. Great book.

                      I'm going to step off the soapbox now, but I hope I helped.

                          They fuck up your credit too....

                          Most lenders look at it, as a very negative thing.

                          Try to get a home equity loan, if your house can afford it...

                          Or, a personal llne of credit, or debt consolidation loan.

                          Credit Counseling services are bullshit

                              Most of those services are nothing but a scam. Get your money back, close all your CC accounts, and make a payment plan with them. You dont need a 3rd party scamming company to do this, just some will power and self control.

                                  We tried, but on our credit report it looks like we have filed bankruptcy.. our credit is in the shits since we have been with this company.. didnt have any problems before..

                                  I so fucking agree! I feel I am going to be paying them for the next 20 months only to be handed a debt at the end that is at $12,000.

                                                      Yeah, you are fucked.

                                                      I used to work at providian. What that paticular company did was drop the percentage 4 points, and instead of paying 3% of the balance, you paid 2%. Which was usually just covering the interest on the account, so you actually are only paying a few bucks a month on the card.

                                                                          I am relieved to see that I am not the only one dissatisfied and fucked over...i'm not crazy!!! (phwew)

                                                                          flyingiguana, I feel very much like doing just that.. but i dont think in the long run after all the snake(lawyer) fees it would be justifiable or financially responsible of me.

                                                                                      I have worked my ass off..still do and will be till this shit is paid off...the shitty thing is making your parnter see that money does not grow out of your ass and you arent a cash cow (moooooo)

                                                                                      I paid all of my debt off when i met hubby.. now I am worse off than before. Everytime I tried to take control of the spending.. he said I was being a controling bitch.. I tried to not be so controling and it fucked me hard. SO now I have to tell a grown man how we are going to pay this shit off and what we have to get rid of..he is not liking anything I have to say..at all...

                                                                                      If I were single this would not be a problem..and all you guys complain about your women spending too much... bah!

Phone your creditors and explain the situation. Tell them you would like to pay them off ASAP but with the current situation the debt is not being paid off so you would like control over it again.

                                                                                                                  The contract will tell you how much they are golng to apply to the credit balances.

                                                                                                                  I do volunteer work with one of the consumer help programs here in Atlanta and these companies are one of our biggest "headaches". But mostly because people aren't reading what they're signing and don't understand how tney work They are there to keep you from filing bankruptcy, lower your interest rates and hopefully keep you from getting into serious debt again.

                                                                                                                  There are VERY many that don't do what they'll TELL you they'll do, but IME, every single one of them has done what the contract said they would do A verbal agreement is worth the paper it's printed on.

                                                                                                                          canceling the cards does not take away the debt or finance charges. You still have to pay them. and they are all canceled btw.

                                                                                                                          The contract will tell you how much they are golng to apply to the credit balances.

                                                                                                                          I do volunteer work with one of the consumer help programs here in Atlanta and these companies are one of our biggest "headaches". But mostly because people aren't reading what they're signing and don't understand how tney work They are there to keep you from filing bankruptcy, lower your interest rates and hopefully keep you from getting into serious debt again.

                                                                                                                          There are VERY many that don't do what they'll TELL you they'll do, but IME, every single one of them has done what the contract said they would do A verbal agreement is worth the paper it's printed on.

Hubbys suggestion and doing.. I was the sceptical bitch in the office asking a million questions. out of the origional 8, they have only one that they got the interest rate lowered on . The other CC's are still up in the 20 's in the percentage range.

Meanwhile I was using our savings to pay bills and we kept the same lifestyle plus paying employees and rent. Then a partnership went bad and I depleted our saving account with lawyer fees and I started to use credit carts to keep the business a float.

                                                                                                                                                  Funny thing for the last year I been thinking about dept reduction services and always heard bad things about it. Honestly it is has been a nightmare, one day late and cc raises your low interest rates up to 24.99 percent from 4.5 percent. I was able to reduce some cc interest rates just over a flaw that the same company sent me a pre-approved new account letter.

                                                                                                                                                  Still hanging in there but and not ready to beg and some jobs that pay are coming in and with the url posted above I managed to lower are dept and hubby is finally understanding that until I make more money, we rely on his.

All the bad has been covered in the above posts. For those with problems. I suggest you gather all you can and hire an attorney to help. Most won't want you if they think you have no $$ for them to rip off. If you can find a better lawyer some how, they can work wonders with out the bad news.
