Debt consolidation will leave you with a huge debt ratio, and close all your credit cards?

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

When you consolidate debt, it shows all old debts as being paid, etc, but the one new debt ratio, which is the amount being owed to the consolidation company will be huge. QUESTION: Does It lower the credit score to have a huge debt ratio like this?
OTHER QUESTION: and you also want to have say, 3 credit cards, (3 of them is the number you want to have a good credit profile, right), then the debt consolidation companies close your credit cards or do they not? How does it work

I have been enrolled in a debt consolidation program for about 3 years and have about one more year to go.

My question is on my credit report for each creditor that I have enrolled in the program it reads payments managed thru a consumer counseling agency (something along those lines) how long after I have finished the program will this notation remain on my report? Also how long after the program will I be able to get credit again?

FYI I do not need to know how a debt consolidation program works…as I said I have been in it for 3 yrs

I know people have there own opinions about it but I felt for my situation this was the best choice- so please do not give opinions about how I could have paid this debt myself

Please notice that I did not say how soon can I get a credit card I said CREDIT period….for anything specifically a house.

Debt consolidation – Please help?

Does anybody know if there is any company that would take on debt consolidation of a business, where the loan was granted based on assets in the business.

The loan was given by a asset finance company but as the loan was based on assets, which depreciate in value very fast it was only spread over 2 years (as opposed to a bank loan that would be over 20 years).

As you can appreciate, keeping up with payments in this climate over such a short amount of time has become rather difficult. Can anyone provide me with any numbers for any company’s that could help. (there are many company’s that do debt consolidation but none cover asset finance agreements)

Please help. Many thanks.

Is a Debt Consolidation loan a good idea?

Monday, June 8th, 2009

Ok my husband and i are trying to get out of debt! We hate that we are in so much debt and we want to eliminate it as soon as possible. We DONT have a lot of money so its not that easy. I just wanted peoples opinions on whether or not we should try to get a debt consolidation loan. We currently have approx $50,000 in debt.

$26000- 2 vehicle loans
$12,00-2 personal loans
$12,000-Credit Cards

What is the BEST way to eliminate this debt?? I know paying more on everything per month can really help but unfortunatly we dont have THAT much more that we can pay towards everything. We are young and accrued all this debt a few years ago. We realized we were really stupid for doing this and we have learned our lesson. Now how do we get out?

I also should add that NOTHING we have is unpaid or in collections or backed up. We have no back taxes, or unpaid anything. We just make minimum payments on everything but all of our accounts are always current.
This would be a $50,000 loan for 7 or 8 years from our bank (Bank of America)

What is a good, legit, debt consolidation/management company?

Yes there are alot of people like me who get in way over their heads in debt. I was looking into debt consolidation companies on the web, but how do you know if they really are the right company to go to? They can say they belong to the Better Business Bureau, but is that for real? I would love 1 good, solid recommendation! Thanks for your help!
