I was hoping someone on here would be able to give me some advice, I am currently enrolled in a debt management program through care one. Things have been going good all payments are being made, but what I'm wondering is am I actually better off going it alone without their help. i've heard from some people that using one of these programs will actually lower your score, but the thing that makes me nervous about going without their help is that my creditors have agreed to the payments and lowered the rates and things like that. any opinions will be greatly appreciated.
