:( Hi I am new to this consolidation buisness. But I am really stuck with my bills. And I can no longer rent an apartment for my family and I . My question is this. I am currently going through the process of trying to make payment arrangements with a collection agency and have them mail or fax me something stateing that I made arrangements so i can give it the apartment that I am trying to move into. But they wont. Collection agencys are not my friend!!!!! Do you think that by consolidating my bills that I have in collections that is would be considered as payment arrangements?
