My mom really needs some help. She has probably about 60,000 or more in credit card and loan debt. What can she do? She is paying what she can but her interest rates are so high that she cannot get out of it. All she does is stress about this and it tears me up. We really need advice....I can't beg enough. Please. Anything you can do, any places to recommend? I read about debt settlments and counseling. I have no idea which one is best for her. Please. Thank you!


If you think that you're on the verge of bankruptcy then debt settlement is the best option to avoid bankruptcy. debt settlement can decrease your debt by 40 to 60%. But it will also negatively affect your credit score by a significant amount.

My mom is able to make the minimum payments but she has NO MONEY LEFT. She is so stressed out because of this. She is disabled, so she cannot work to make more money. Honestly, if her credit score gets ruined some, then that would be better than this. So would debt settlment be the best then? Thank you all so much!

It sure sounds like debt settlement would probably be the best option. You mentioned she is disabled and thus gets disability right ? If so than she should get some very low settlements because she doesn't even have to worry about the possibility of wage garnishments because she is on disability. The collection calls will suck in a settlement program but well worth it.

You can try to settle the accounts on your own but I personally wouldn't because I don't want to hassle with it. And I wouldn't recommend you stop paying the creditors until you are approved with a program.
I think you should call a debt management company but chances are that the payment they will give you will be too much, so then all that's left really is debt settlement.
