Paying Off Debt And Credit Counseling
By Marjorie Salada
If you are in debt, you are no doubt wondering what debt relief options are available. Paying off debt and credit counseling is one option for debt relief. While this in not the only option for debt repayment, it is one that can help you get out of debt through the use of debt consolidation without the use of a loan.

I often wonder why a person with debt problems would get a home loan to pay off their credit cards. If you have credit card debt, your creditors can close your accounts, call you and put negative entries on your credit report, but they cannot take your home. If you get a secured debt consolidation loan and you default on the loan, the lender can start foreclosure proceedings on your home. A loan to pay off debts, in most cases, is not in your best interest.

Credit counseling, however, is a debt relief option that is not a loan, but it does consolidate your debt. In my opinion, this is one of the best benefits of credit counseling. Your credit counselor will calculate your monthly payment and you will make one payment each month to credit counseling company. The debt counseling company will disburse that payment to your creditors.

Your credit counseling company will also handle any interaction with your creditors. You know longer will be talking with your creditors and once they have the name and phone number with your credit counselor, you will not get anymore collection calls.

It is important that you abide by the agreement that exists between your creditors and the credit counseling company. Some creditors will drop you from the program if you miss payments.

Debt Settlement - length before law suits, HELP!
Hello All, I'm seriously considering Debt Settlement, but I would have to go over 3yrs. How do they keep things going for that length of time w/o charge-offs. Is it simply that you've hired the settlement company that they know at some point they'll get something out of you? I'm trying to figure out if this is feasible or not. I'd hate to get 2 years into a plan and then be forced into ch13 because of a law suit. HELP!

experience with Geneva Roth and Paycheck Today?
I've posted several times this week about my progress working with various pdl companies to get my accounts marked PIF. I've had some success and anticipate more as I trudge along.
