InCharge debt solutions? And HI!

Stay far away from Incharge debt solutions. We had consolidated our credit cards and when the balance reached below $500.00, they notified the creditors they had dropped us from the program. When we received a copy of the letter, I called them and they stated that since our balances were below $500.00 that they were no longer able to help and left us hanging in the breeze. It was after they changed their name from Profina to Incharge Debt Solutions. They also screwed my mom royally. She had consolidated her debt with them and they never followed up with the creditors, never notified her of the ones that wouldn't work with consolidation. She was making the monthly payment and they were only paying the ones that accepted the proposal and keeping the rest. She withdrew her cards from them, because the balances went up instead of down. One of the creditors she had in the program and thought she was paying has now tripled the balance. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. But remember, each person has different experiences with a company and hopefully someone else will come along and share their experience with Incharge.

You are doing the right thing by comparing your options before choosing the debt consolidation company. After all, you need to have the faith towards the company that will be handling your finance. Most of the people including myself are in the similar situation are like you. I registered in this site with a total debt of $8000 and my info was sent to a consolidation company in my area. The counselor offered me some helpful tips towards erasing my past debts and framed my payment options. I am regular in my consolidation payments and have taken a plan of 24 months. I know I will have to go through some hard times during the program but my counselor has been nice enough to provide me all the necessary assistance through out. His contribution will be very important towards making me debt free. I suggest you the same thing of taking the counseling from here. You will be able to compare your options in a better way.

My goodness! Thank you so much for that! Youre right that the results can vary from person to person. But thats enough to put me off of it and keep looking. Im so glad this site is here. Thanks! :)

I posted too quickly. Thank you passionhunting!

Like I said before its nice to know that others know what Im going through. I feel so stuck like I cant move on with anything else until this is out of the way. Its such a huge weight on my shoulders. I honestly dont know how I let it get this far.

debtsucks---my experience is with T&C and so far they have been great to work with--which is nice when you have creditors on your butt all the time. The people at T&C made me feel like somebody was on my side. Good luck whatever avenue you take. Keep us posted on your progress and feel free to ask lots of questions.

I forgot to add in my post above that I am with T&C now and things are looking better. Will be debt free in late 2007. All credit cards will be paid off. Sorry for sounding so negative earlier. You made the right decision signing up with this site for consolidation help.

Thats ok Tammy. To be honest I didnt even see it that way. You were just voicing your opinion which is what I asked for. I was seriously thinking about going with them too. They were my first choice so I really appreciate your input on them. Goes to show good commercials and a pretty website are not good indications of the service youll get.

As for T&C, theyre looking better and better. My brother is serving in Iraq right now and knows quite a few people that are getting into some bad situations financially from being gone so long. (He works in finance as well) So I'd take his word for anyway but reading these posts are giving me the extra push. I still have some research but theyll probably be who I go through. I cant say this enough but- Thank you all so much! After months of worrying and now missing my first payments I finally feel like Im getting a handle on this.

Oh and congrats by the way on your success so far with your debt!

Thank you. I am so greatful that I found this website. As you will find, it is full of information and we are all here to help people. We have alot of fun here and I hope you continue to participate in the forums.

I definitely will. I've been glued to the computer since this morning. Theres so much info here I just wish I had found it sooner. Youll be seeing me around for sure. :)

Hey there debtsucks! Good thing you've found us! T&C will be your pals till the end. Good thing you got here before your went ahead with debt solution. I've dealt with them when I used to collect and they're not very helpful. I thumb my nose in their direction.

welcome to the forums, debtsucks! We're glad to have you here! You will learn a lot and make some new friends...Like Tammy said, we have a really good time here.

What is T & C? Thanks!

Please tell me what T&C stands for? Thanks

T&C is town&country acceptance.

is town and country acceptance a credit counselor?

I'm sorry, but I've had the complete opposite experience with InCharge.
They have notified me of all creditors who have accepted and ones that have not. I have one creditor who did not accept the program, but will accept the payment anyway. Though they are not on the program, the monthly payment is accepted. I just have to keep an extra eye on that account.
I've been with InCharge for 8 months and receive notices every time a payment has been made and received email notices and phone calls when there are discrepancies in statements.
It seems to me that InCharge is designed for the consumer to participate in the program and not just sit back and rely on others to do all the work. I appreciate this because I have learned so much by being part of the process. The real enemy is the creditors.
However, thank you for the notice about the end of payments. I will make sure they are paid off and keep a close eye one my activity before I get to that point.

can anybody help me with a good reputable and legitimate debt consolidation company besides T&C and Incharge Debt Solution Corporation, whether Government or Private corporation. Your help will be highly appreciated. I owe about $48. 000 from medical bills and all of these are on different credit cards. Thanks

well no one is allowed to recommend anyone in a post, but i would suggest find a list of some companies and start researching them fully. also check locally see if there is someone in your area that is always best in my opinion.
