I moved from Germany to the US about 7 months ago due to Military orders and had to get my house in order, wife had our 2nd baby, paid too much for rent, electric and other things. Took out a couple of loans and have had a terrible time. Credit use to be great with no problems but now, I could not get a loan for a piece of bubble gum.

Hey Jodi Welcome to the forums. You have come to the right place for help. Register and have one of the debt counselors contact you. Did you take out payday loans? There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Things will get better I know its hard to see that right now but it does get better. Good Luck KYSIDE38

Welcome to the Community, Jody  You can recieve a wealth of information here, as well as support for what you are going through. Once I learned I wasn't alone and had others share how to deal with my debt problems, accept responsibility and learn how to repait my credit, it was like a big sigh of relief. I still have a ways to go, and my credit does too. But today it doesn't stress me out near as bad, and I know that things are getting better.It took time for me to get in this mess, and it takes time to get out of it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask..Karen

You can clear off your existing debts without being bothered of taking a new loan for this. The payment plans in the consolidation program are set as per your financial ability. You can make it as lower as it fits you. If the consolidation doesn't do the best, settlement can also be an option. There are various plans in the debt management program. Using one, you will have no worries about how to continue with the payments. Talk to a counselor first but don't go further taking a new loan and paying your existing debts. Your debt to income ratio will be seriously damaged. Have you thought about this?
