My income has been cut I’m not behind yet but I’m anticipating being that way in a few months. Anyone ever heard of The Palmer Firm, they are claiming to cut my credit card debt from $11061 to $7000 in 28 months with monthly payments of $257. I called credit solutions but they dont deal with the state of Georgia. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks everyone. We’re current on payments, and haven’t used any of the cards for two years. We just can’t make more than the minimum payment, and we’ll never be payed off if that’s all we can swing. We don’t have that much debt compared to a lot of folks we know, but just looking at all options. I’m thinking we’re going to check out a non-profit organization, like suggested by a few of you. Thanks!

I am just wondering if any of you had ever done business with either Debtmerica or ClearDebt Solution. If you had, please please please share your opinions with me. I desperately need help from you guys before I can take any action to clear up all my credit card debts!!! Please help me guys!!!

Besides Debtmerica and ClearDebt Solution, is there any trusted debt-relief companies that you know of? Every one of your opinions is greatly appreciated!

Have a good weekend guys! Thank you so much!

The reps at Freedom Debt relief told me not to talk to any creditors, but now I’m being sued. What do I do?

My husband and I just did a major construction project on our house to make room for our five month old. Because I don’t work, but now will have to a few nights a week to help out with finances, the increase of our mortgage to cover the construction, credit card bills, student loans for the both of us and the cost of a new baby really has made things tight. We’re looking into debt relief programs where they’ll get rid of the interest rates and lower the balances. I spoke to our accountant who does our taxes and said they’re perfectly legal, but I wanted to hear other people’s experiences with them. I know it will negatively affect our credit scores for a while, which is fine because we’re cancelling the credit cards so we don’t get into this mess again, but how badly does it affect it? Was it worth it for you to do it? We’ll be saving $300 a month by doing it, but I hope the benefits outweigh the negatives.
kemperk, unfortunately that’s not so easy. Not only do I have a five month old, I also have a 7 year old. While we want control of our finances, we didn’t have kids so their grandparents or daycare centers can watch them while my husband and I work 2 jobs each. This was something I thought could help us out, although I know it’s not fair to others who are paying their debt in full. I just don’t know what’s best.

Cookie On My Mind asked:


I have some credit debt left and I’m wondering if I should put the extra money I make from selling my home into the new house I’m purchasing or if I should go ahead and pay off the credit card debt. What is a smarter decision?
Just wanted to say I’m not late on my credit card bills, just wondering if I should go ahead and pay them off in full right away

I’ve heard of companies like cureadebt.com that will settle your credit card debts for 70% of the amount owed. I’ve also heard of government grants to pay unsecured debt(credit cards), but I don’t know where to get the info on them. I’m considering a second mortgage to pay these off with a lower interest rate. Thoughts?

We no longer use credit cards, so the balance only increases because of high interest rates.
