Here are a few FAQ's that we receive:
- 1.
Why shouldn’t I apply for a home equity loan or debt
consolidation loan to pay off my creditors?
-
Most people like this idea, as they receive a check to pay off
all their creditors almost immediately. A very large majority of
people who apply for these types of loans end up in deeper
financial trouble than they were before. The reason this happens
is because these loans do not reduce the amount you owe. In
addition, you jeopardize your two most valuable assets - your
house and your family.
-
- 2.
What type of debts can be consolidated?
-
Only unsecured debt can be consolidated using the resources
listed here. This includes all major credit cards such
as: Visa, Master Cards, Discover, American Express etc; Store
cards such Sears, JC Penny, Macy's; Medical Bills; Phone Bills;

3. How does debt consolidation effects your credit?

-
Debt
consolidation allows you to pay down your debt and keep a
good credit history. Here are some tips to establish and
maintain your credit rating: Pay your bills on time; (mail
checks at least 8 to 10 days in advance) If you are having
trouble making your payments, call and try to work out a
solution; Don't spend more than you can afford till you
pay off your debts.
4. Is debt consolidation only for people on the verge of
bankruptcy?
-
No! Debt consolidation gives people of all debt profiles
a tool to lower their monthly payments. You may not be
considering bankruptcy but are having a little trouble paying
your monthly bills; a debt consolidation service may still help
you by reducing (perhaps eliminating) the interest rates and
late fees your creditors are charging you.

- 5. Should I
consider filing for bankruptcy instead of joining your program?
Filling bankruptcy should be your last resort in solving your
financial difficulties. Although it may help you now, it will
hurt you in the future. If you choose to file bankruptcy, be
prepared to accept the unfortunate consequences. It will appear
on your credit report for at least ten years. In addition, it
can be reported for the rest of your life when applying for
certain types of state licenses, jobs, as well as various types
of loans. Before you consider filing bankruptcy, give yourself
one last chance to obtain financial freedom.
6. How long does it take to pay off my credit card debts
after debt consolidation?
Most people are able to get out of debt in 3 to 5 years after
the interest rates on their debts have been reduced under a debt
consolidation plan. Frequently, debt consolidation also results
in the reduction of the total monthly payment amount. Those who
would have been making payments for 15 to 25 years before debt
consolidation are able to lower their monthly payments but,
nevertheless, get out of debt in a fraction of the that length
of time.
7. How do I Get Started?

call you to begin the process of getting you debt free.
8. Is there a
fee?
Yes, however this fee is structured into your monthly
payment program and is far below the amount of money we save you
in reduced interest charges, late fees, and total monthly
expenditures.
- 9. Will debt
consolidation stop harassing creditor phone calls?
Yes. Any call that you did happen to receive after consolidation
is an internal collector that is out of the loop. Simply refer
them to your debt consolidation agent and he will set set them
straight.
