Can anyone also help me on this? How can I know if a debt management company is "legit" and will not be only after my $??

A company with a high rating and minimal complaints with the Better Business Bureau would work to your advantage. Basically it's a guarantee that they aren't after your money and that they have established a good working relationship between their customers. The BBB has very high standards in reference to quality and fair business practice, and they are a notable gauge on which companies to work with.

Vera,Take note that just because a company is non-proft doesn't mean that it's legitimate. Some of these companies actually claim that they were non-profit in the hopes of gaining more customers--but after these customers sign up with them, they discover that they're required to make "voluntary contributions" and are immediately signed up to debt management programs, which should not be the case. If anything it's always best to check out the company's ratings on the BBB and if they're affiliated with the NFCC.

I know that debt management companies also are able to reduce interest rates. I can manage making the monthly payments but the interest really is a killer. How much interest can they lower it down to? I currently have 26.99% and I find it really disheartening.

Gomez:Depending on negotiations with the creditor, it may be lowered down to 15%, and it may also be possible for them to stop fees from adding up on your account.
