I have gone through debt consolidation before, and everything worked out like I asked it would. My credit is better, and the fees were def. worth the experience.

I agree that it depends on the conditions and which company you choose. I chose a solid company, that I reviewed online for several weeks. Worked out perfectly!

Good thing to do JP. Never trust a company you haven't researched. A good place to start that research is BBB (better business Bureau). You can see complaints that have been filed and how they are rated. You amy also find ones that may help you by looking at hrier mreviews.

That is also a really good avenue to take as good natured suggests. You could post it as a quaestion and see if anyone else did any business with whom your are considering.

10 years ago I filed for bankruptcy. From then on, I have been doing credit repair on my own and my wifes credit files. It is a full time job just knowing how to handle each negative trade line on your report. There are legitimate credit repair services out there. I used Lexington law, who turned out to be the worst, monthly fee schemers. I did then get tired of the wording, "this item has been verified" letters. So............ I decided to read up on the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
I am now certified. I do credit repair as a part time Job. I have had very good results. It is all in the know how. Took me ten years to learn, but I learned. The draw back to repairing credit is the time involved. Following through on replies, how to handle a collection agencies verification, or validation letter sent back to you. Its like trying to sell real eastate, You need to know what you are doing.

I feel that they make rpomises to disperate people and then get them into a poor idea about allwoing your payments to fall behind and that they will degotiate lower interest and lower pay back amounts, BULL!

I always prefer to educate myself with credit related issuers. This not only saves money, but also helps us to encounter future credit problems and helps us to learn ways out of credit problems.

That is a good way to do it Anthony. I think ,ore people need to take your approach and educate themselves. Credit is a necessity and knowing how to understand all the aspects of it is really important.
