Some companies conducting debt counseling were too good to be true. Terms such as "wipe out your debt", non profit, higher fees than $20 must be avoided. Asses it yourself and ask for consultation to someone you can be trusted.

I think a lot of debt can be cleared on your own. You just have to take the time to work the system yourself. Read up on tips from the Internet, books, etc.

Yes but there are those companies taking advantage of people and making money off on them. So research is really needed before deciding.

I actually saw one advertisement where it said that clear your debt and pay us later. I dont know if one should trust it or not. But its a tempting offer, dont you think so :)

Actually its depend on yourself. If you already have debt, you need to pay them by yourself. You also need to find a way how you settle your debt without make others people worry about you. I manage to handle my debt so far and hope i can earn many money to continue payiny my bills and my car loan and student loan.

I agree I would look at working with a credit counseling company. I had the same problem with 17k in credit card debt and used this website (which really helped me suprisingly). I went to www.endthisdebt.com and filled out their form for credit card debt. I got a free consultation and 2 companies then gave me advice and told me what it would entail. I should be out of credit card debt now in 6 months.

It always good to have an idea of what it is that you are getting yourself into. Know your debt and try to learnt he ins and outs of what your debt is about. You can't trust everyone but you can't believe that everyone is out to steer you wrong.

Well I know that there are ways to fixing your debt yourself, however I also know that some of us do not have the time it requires to handle it ourselves. There are some good low cost debt counseling agencies out there that can help, you just need to do your research into each company. And never be afraid to get a second opinion.

I ran into a guy a while back who worked for a debt counseling service. He charged $30 to clean up your debt completely. This to me, is kind of hard to believe due to the fact that I have over $40,000 in debt. What does this sound like to you all?
