Hello -


I am about $25000 in CC debt and am making the monthly payments but have little else after paying the my monthly payments

What is the difference between debt settlement, debt management and debt consolidation? What are some reputable companies that I can seek advice and direction?

Thanks


debt consolidation takes all you debts and puts them into one payment at negotiated lower interest rates. With debt settlement your creditors are asked to "settle' for a lowered amounts. Debt settlement can have long term negative effects on your credit rating and increase the possibility of a lawsuit. Consloidation has minimal shrt term effects on yor credit but will help it in the long run. I am not familiar with debt management.
When you signed up did you ask for the free consultation? Also there is a ranking chart above that rates the various consolidation companies state by state.
