I am wanting to rid myself of all debt and consolidating under one company at first sounded great. Now I’m getting "cold feet"! Should I continue on w/ them or should I "tough it out" and try and do this myself? The chief thing I like about consolidating is that THEY deal w/ headaches for me, not to mention I’m getting ONE payment as well as lower interest and "re-aging" of accounts. Any advice would be appreciated!:)
They can be very helpful just be sure that they are not for profit companies. Also check the Better Business Bureau for the one you pick before signing anything with them.

If you dont want to ruin your FICO score any further, your best bet is Consumer Credit Counseling Service which is a not-for-profit agency.
All other debt consolidation programs end up further ruining your credit score plus you pay other consolidation programs around 15% of the entire debt you owe as a "service charge"!

Consolidation is used for several different things.
1. You get a big loan to pay off all your debt. It’s bad to transfer debt to a new loan. People tend to run those credit cards back up and then have the credit cards and that big loan payment.
2. Debt settlement. Very bad. The companies take your money and let all your accounts go 90 days past due then try to offer lowball settlements. Not only does this trash your credit, but most credit card companies won’t play and simply sue you.
3. Credit counseling. Check here for an NFCC member in your area: http://www.nfcc.org/. They are legit, non-profit companies that offer debt management programs for a nominal fee, if you qualify. They don’t negotiate debt settlement. They negotiate lower interest and payments to allow you to pay off your debt. While in the program, it is noted on your credit file. However, upon completion, the notation is removed and you have a good payment history.
If you are not actually struggling to make your payments, you should work on doing it yourself. Make a strict budget. Eliminate all the extras — cell phone, eating out, new clothes, etc. Take every penny you can squeeze out of that budget and throw it at the highest interest rate credit card, while paying minimum payments on the rest. When the highest card is paid off, move to the next till they are all paid in full.
The advantages are that you will learn some new finanancial management skills, pay off your debt, and have a good payment history/credit.

I would stay away. You can usually get a lower-interest consolidation loan from your bank or local credit union. Plus, they won’t rip you off.

ever heard of those Perdue chicken strips? I like heating those up and putting them on pieces of bread with pepper jack cheese. If the chicken’s hot enough, the cheese should melt. And I like adding tiger sauce and jalepenos to it, even though the tiger sauce is thin and it drips from my sandwich when I’m eating it. Also, ham, roast beef, provolone cheese, pickles, and either Kraft ranch or thousand island dressing. It’s good if you put it on the frying pan with a lid over it, too.
I am agree with the first answer. But you can take experience by taking some project online. For this just make a website of your profession and list this in any web directory or business directory like
This will help you to promote your website and you may get project.

I think they're basically the same thing. The best way to check is to read the small print- or ask the supplier. They're required to disclose this information so that you can make an informed choice.

Hmm, let's see if I have this correctly. I make $50,000.00 a year and I'm $300,000.00 in debt. That doesn't sound too bad but this year I'm going to spend $68,000.00. So next year I'll be $318,000.00 in debt. Next year I'll go a little deeper in debt and maybe in two or three years I'll only spend what I make. Fortunately my debt limit has been raised so I won't have to change my spending habits now.
Now give me the power to print money and sell bonds to cover my debts, which will be paid by my descendants [...]

We already have more public debt per capita than Greece does.
And Im pretty sure the president of the united states knows how much debt we have….obviously you don't know how much debt we have since you are asking the question.
LOL the fact that you think Obama doesn't know how much debt we have.
Use a teaspoon or less of sloe gin, it's not the best tasting stuff. Topping off and floating ingredients, allows you to gradually taste the different flavors, taste the top ingredient first-last if you use a straw, etc.

When you shine a flashlight into the sky at night and then quickly turn it off, that bunch of photons that just came out of the flashlight is going to fly through space at light speed for the rest of eternity (or until there absorbed). They'll also be spreading out as there flying, and become undetectable to human eyes.
The only reason we see anything is because light is coming out of the flashlight, hitting an object and then bouncing back to our eyes. If you keep the flashlight on there is a constant stream of light bouncing off of [...]

One of the things I like most about it is that it doesn't end. The worst part about a Zombie movie is that eventually it ends. The Walking Dead is the only thing that tells you what happens to the entire world, and it just keeps going beyond that initial story. Personally, I think the Walking Dead should be like any serialized super-hero comic, and go on forever. You can even have it move in semi-real time. Eventually, Rick and Carl would get older, and eventually the book would be about Carl after Rick dies. Then you could have stories [...]
