Hi Kevin-B,

Welcome to the debt consolidation Care Forum.

Following are the answers to your queries:

  • Debt Consolidation Company charges are not fixed & vary from Company to Company. There are some companies who take the first installment from you & put it in their pockets. To avoid such hidden costs, it is always better to rely on trustworthy Companies who states their terms & conditions in the very beginning. Our Ranking Chart Section can help you to find reliable Companies in your locality.

  • Early payments are always encouraged & so there are no penalties for this.

  • Yes, there are local Companies where you can visit in person & discuss about your situation & avail their services. It is always recommendable to do so. Internet is always used for the initial communication.

  • After signing up, Debt Counselor gets in touch with you within the next 16 working hours. The amount of time taken to negotiate with your Creditors & restructure your payment depends solely on your Credit situations & also the efficiency of the Debt Counselor. It is however in the interest of the Debt Consolidation Company to speed up. So you can expect your monthly payment to start off as soon as is possible.

    Please feel free to let us know in case you have any further queries. Looking forward to your participation in the forum and wishing you a Debt-free life.

    Regards,

    Sarah

    Most debt consolidation companies do not charge anything from the debtor. The creditors give them a certain percentage as service fees. However, some debt consolidation companies charge the first month's installment amount as their fees from the debtor. It is thus advisable to choose the right firm. Take the help of our Ranking Chart to choose the right firm.

    Absolutely no. It is always highly appreciated if you can pay off early. There are in fact possibilities of getting a further reduction in some cases, if you can manage to pay off early.

    The debt consolidation operation is made effective for you within a short time span. A small interval is required depending on how long and skillfully the debt consolidation consultant takes to negotiate with your creditor. The consultant negotiates on your behalf with the creditor and come to a final decision on the amount of debt that will be eliminated. They also fix up a monthly amount you need to pay as installment based on the remaining amount of debt you owe and your present financial status.

    We would highly appreciate if you come up with more queries and suggestions frequently and also share your experiences with other members of the forum.

    Regards,

    I am currently paying $49 per month in fees my credit cards totaled 150 dollars per month. and that's my minimums; they worked it out so that I only pay 200 a month. 150 + 49 = 199 and my credit cards will be payed off in 4 years rather than 22 1/2 years, contact me if you want an unbiased opinion.
