Hi from a newbie. :)
My DH and I are fairly deep in debt and want to know how to deal with these people the smart way, so that we can rebuild our credit. We have close to $25,000 in debt, including student loans. There are 5 judgments and 7 collection/default accounts that show up on our credit report. The three things that we have THANKFULLY avoided are PDL's, repos, and bankruptcy.
