Debt Consolidation question?

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

Alright, so I hired a debt consolidation company about a year ago, under the promise that they were gonna help me eliminate 3 credit cards. All they’ve successfully done, up to this point is debt 75 bucks from my account every month to pay themselves. If there’s ever any communication I have to initiate it, etc. I’m sick and tired of these idiots with seemingly empty promises. I want to fire them and get my money back.
Is that an option? They promise being able to get a payoff on the various cards for a fraction of the actual amount. Can’t I do that by calling the collection agencies and negotiating with them over the phone? I wanna get these cards off my back (who doesn’t) but I’m feeling ripped off an am sick of it. Any suggestions?

How do I settle my own credit card debt?

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

I attempted to settle my own credit card debt, but all credit cards refuse to settle. They would rather wait until I’m 90 days late, charge it off or sell it to an agency and have me settle with them.
Any clues on how I can buy my own debt at 12 cents on the dollar like the credit collection agencies do?
