nefarious napkin posted:OK I always wondered about these organizations and whether or not they are scams. It's great to have a recommendation for one that is non profit! I actually spoke to a friend in the Credit Card industry, and he told me that I can just call and tell them I'm having troubles making my payments, and they will turn off interest for 3 months with no penalty. That's $400 saved that can go back to the debt. I'll give these guys a call first and see if they have any more advice! If they can stop the interest for 3 months that would be a big help in your situation. With your current credit card balance on the interest bearing card you are probably down to $130 per month of interest. While that's not great you are in a good position to start demolishing the balance on that card as a payment of $500 per month should reduce the monthly interest by about $6 per month initially. If your credit rating is alright and you can make all the monthly payments then there's no point damaging your credit. You may be able to have the organisation negotiate on your behalf. Creditors prefer it if you approach them before you are in a disaster rather than after. The fact that you have made all your payments will be an advantage in a negotiation. The best thing is that you are in a recoverable financial position. It will be slow and tough at first but as you progress it will get easier and the debts will disappear at a faster rate.
