Me and my husband have a lot of debt, it is mainly him from before we got together but now they are hitting us hard and we cant afford it and we are considering bankruptcy but we REALLY dont want to do that
Normally I would suggest doing a debt management Plan
if you can afford it.
However if you are overextended and con`t afford your minimum payments
and can't afford a dmp than you may want to consider a debt settlement
program.
Did
you sign up for a fee debt consult from this site, if not you are
entitled to one as a member, call the toll free number or click on the
top right button to speak to someone and they can help you and perhaps
offer some advice.
debt negotiation is the way to go. I have been
researching how my wife and I can get out of our 55K credit and 230k
Student Loan.
We were going to file chapt 13, but after researching, debt negotiation
is really the way to go. You can have a company do it for you for
several thousand dollars, or you can do it yourself. There is a company
that assist you to do it yourself, zipdebt.com. But apparently all the
info you need is at this site under: http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com/steps.html
Both
debt settlement and debt management are good programs. It really depends
on your budget. Debt settlement is a hardship program for people who are
overextended , can`t afford the minimums , can`t afford a dmp payment
and don`t want to file for bankruptcy. You will have a big impact on
your credit , plus you will deal with a ton of harassing calls from
creditors and risk of lawsuit. Don`t get me wrong, I like settlement but
I suggest it be your last option before bankruptcy. Trust me look in a
DMP first.
However if you are overextended and con`t afford your minimum payments and can't afford a dmp than you may want to consider a debt settlement program.
