Starting A New Career Led To Debt Crisis
By Derek Rogers
I have been working in a factory most of my life and I know that I am getting on in years. So I decided to go back to college and learn a new trade that would allow me to make a living outside a factory. After all, I am not as young as I used to be and I needed to have an option. So I took out some loans and went to college full-time to learn about computers.

Then I went out into the real world to find work and I was not making as much as I was in the factory. I know I will make more later, but starting out is really hard and the bills are starting to pile up. I am working hard and so is my wife and we are just not making ends meet. We are getting late notices and my loans are now getting in arrears.

This debt load is getting to us and it is become a burden on our family. The debt collectors are calling and we want to hide from the phone. The late notices just keep coming and a friend suggests that we need debt help. We look at him and ask what he means by debt help, is he willing to pay some of our bills? Of course not but he began to explain about debt management help that is available.

We sort advice from our local citizens advice and found a debt management company and began talking to their advisors. They were very understanding about all the stress and pressure we were under. Together we worked out a plan that made it easy for us to get caught up on our bills. We consolidated all our loans to start with.

This allowed us to save a lot of money from what we had been paying out each month. The money we saved each month made it easier for us to get our bills paid on time. Getting our bills paid on time saved us more money

Better to short sell house or forclose before filing ch. 7?
I plan on filing ch. 7 in three months. I'm trying to sell my primary residence. The lender has agreed to a short sale, provided they reserve the right to collect on the unpaid HELOC balance. Will this get wiped out when I file ch.7? My attorney said I could just let it foreclose. That sounds worse. Is it?

I have a few questions. 1) I have seen on various posts and sites about clearing up any old info such as addresses, inquiries, etc... Why is this a good option and ...

Will our income tax get taken away?
My husband is currently paying child support for his son that he has only known about for a year now. He owes 6,000 dollars back child support but currently pays $100 of it ontop of his regular child support. Even though he is never late on his payments and is currently paying on the back child support will his income tax be taken away and given to the mother of his child?

Clearing up credit
I realize now that I should have avoided this company. In 2004 I opened an account with gemb care credit. I paid off my account with in one year and took advantage of the free intrest. I requested the account to be closed at that time. However my husband just pulled our report. It shows that the account that I had long forgotten about was closed last month and had a 30 day late payment. I now have a ding on my credit report. My score is in the 700s and my husbands is in the 800s. Is it worth my ...

payday one loan
Has anyone had any dealings with PayDay One in paying back their loan ? I am on the brink of possibly being late in paying it back. Do they accept the EPP pay agreement ? Any help would help. Thanks

because of all the extra fees we were not paying out to others. This made it possible for us to get caught up and begin paying off our debt instead of only going deeper into debt.

The debt management advisors gave us the help we needed to be able to take control of our lives again. Now I am making more money in my new career and our debt is far lower than it was before. We can now enjoy the benefits that come with the increase in the money that I have coming in. Just remember that if you are feeling stressed out and depressed because of your finances, there is debt help available.
