I have terrible credit. I made a lot of mistakes in my past. My credit score is like a 547 according to my experian report. Most of my accounts are old charge offs. I've seen several websites that say they can help, but I'm scared. What the heck can I do? I'm moving away in October of this year, and I can't even get an apartment! JP

i am from singapore can i join debt consaladation ?

hello i am currently about 3,500.00 in debt and would like to get out of it. how can u guys help me?

I need to make a payment

I have some bills that will be due in the next few days. How soon will you be able to work with the creditors if say I sign up on monday?

I received a certified letter yesterday. It's a court document from a law firm/collection agency. It's an "order for alternative service". I don't know what that is yet, but I guess they are suing me in local small claims court over a credit card that was charged-off 3 years ago. Anyway...this law firm has NEVER sent me any letter informing me that they were collection on this debt. I know they need to send me a letter informing me that they are collecting on a debt and that I have 30 days to dispute the debt. I also know that I would then request that they validate the debt too.

how do I contact you guys

....if a debt consolidation company is good and reputable? Is there somewhere to check on them? Also, is there any place in the forums that gives sort of an outline of good questions to ask when speaking with a counselor of a debt consolidation place? I'm really considering it.... Thanks!!! :-)

Two questions: 1.) Are you a non-profit org? 2.) What are your fees for someone with one credit card (Citibank) balance = $10829 at 25.49% ?

i have alot of debt on credit cards. Don't know if i should file bankcrupty or pay a small amount (not the minimum) Is this adviseable???? My husband was murdered 2 years ago and I collect social security for our 5 small children. Rent is more than I receive. I have used credit cards to pay bills to survive for food, clothes for the kids, shoes etc. I have a part time job but it does not pay very much.
