		<description>Overall, nice presentation, but why was the debt dropping $1 per month at first, then slows to $5 per year? That skews the numbers higher, but the debt is still catastrophic.</description>

		<description>Good Illustration.  I don&#039;t think debtors dispute this knowledge, rather they fall victim to the psychological trap of deferred pain.  Paying $20 for something at a later time seems less painful than paying $10 for it today.  The problem is compounded when they don&#039;t have the $10 in the first place.</description>

		<description>Going through a credit counseling company, will hurt your credit more than help. The reason for this is that banks view is as you saying &quot;I can not be responsible with my debts, I want someone else to do it for me.&quot;
And credit counsel companies are only willing to help you with unsecured debts, such as credit cards, store cards.
You&#039;re better off asking for a settlement offer from each of your creditors by calling them YOURSELF. Banks will always help their customers, be brave enough to ask for it. Every bank has special programs people who need the help to pay off their debt. 
As for the CashCall: they are classified as a PAYDAY ADVANCE not a UNSECURED LOAN, that is why the counseling companies cannot help you. They fall under a different set of banking rules.</description>

		<description>No disrespect to Gemini, but come on here, they rather have someone wanting to deal with the issue than slinking off.... 
Also, CashCall is NEVER going to work with anyone, even if they come out and ask... Honestly, WTF were you thinking going to that rip-off center known as CashCall. Do a search online, you&#039;ll find out how bad they are in mere moments.
If you need the help, use something like CCCS (a non-profit credit counseling service) but with CashCall, good *****ing luck :)</description>

		<description>Practically any type of loan can be wrapped into the debt consolidation process. Common types include finance charges, late fees and overdraft charges, credit cards, personal loans, utility bills, medical bills, car loans, store cards, gas cards and back taxes. A debt consolidation loan&lt;!--allows you to condense your monthly payments into a single, simple bill, while lowering your interest rates and helping you pay down your debts more quickly and easily. It is also an essential tool in avoiding the much more serious step of declaring bankruptcy.
http://badcredits.awardspace.com/Loan-Consolidation.htm
Unlike bankruptcy, in which debts are cancelled and your credit rating collapses completely, debt consolidation loans are essentially a type of refinancing, where several--&gt;old loans are replaced with a new one that has more favorable terms. Your loan consultant will negotiate with creditors on your behalf, so you’ll no longer have to deal with harassing phone calls and daily mail.</description>

		<description>Somebody said: &quot;Divide and Defeat&quot;.
If you have more than two credit cards, I would pay the minimun in must of them but one, in this one I would pay the must I can afford, to pay it quick. When you pay this one off, then you can use the extra money to pay the next one and so on. It works.
Good luck!</description>

		<description>You probably could however the interest rate may be high. I would start with your own bank as they know you the best. I work as a customer service agent with GMAC where I deal with people asking about refinancing all the time and I refer them to their own bank or credit union. They might be able to work out a deal because you have a &quot;professional/personal&quot; relationship with them.</description>

		<description>Please do not consolidate. It is not free, they will lower your payments by increasing the length of time until you are debt free, and you will take a hit on your credit score. There is a better way.
A. Have a garage sale and sell anything that you no longer need or want.
B.Get a temporary part time job, if you have one, get another. The holidays are coming and there will be plenty of temporary jobs available. It is better to have a no fun year or two than a no fun decade. 
Here is a plan that can help you. If you work the plan, the plan will work for you:
1. Make a budget. Make the budget a week before you get paid. A budget is not a punishment! It is a tool which will free you from ever having to worry about money again. Put everything in your budget. Especially those annual, biannual, or quarterly bills like car registration, insurance, etc. Give every dollar you are going to bring home the name of where it is going. Add an &quot;emergency fund&quot; category to your budget for 25 dollars and save up until you have 1000-1250 dollars. Your emergency fund will help keep you from getting into new debt because of an emergency. If you can, set up a direct transfer to a savings account for your emergency fund. That way it moves automatically and you don&#039;t even have to worry about it. You must cut your spending and live on less than you make.
2.First get current on all of you debts and make no more late payments. Stop using your credit cards immediately. Do not take on any more debt. Credit cards are like quicksand only the death is much slower. Make a list of all of your debts in order of highest interest rate to lowest interest. Use cash only for your spending from now on.
3.Pay the minimum due on all of your debts and then put your extra money towards paying off the highest interest one first. After you get that one paid off, you put the money you were paying on debt #1 (the minimum payment and the extra payment) towards debt #2. That will pay debt #2 off faster. When that is paid off, you put all three payments towards card #3 and that one will be paid off pretty quickly. As an example:
To start :
Debt #1 (highest interest): minimum payment+ extra payment
Debt #2 (middle interest): minimum payment
Debt #3(lowest interest): minimum payment
Debt #1: paid off
Debt #2: minimum payment from Debt #1+ Minimum payment from Debt #2 +extra payment
Debt #3: minimum payment
Debt #1: paid off
Debt #2: paid off
Debt #3:Mimimum payment from card #1+ minimum payment from Debt #2+ minimum payment from Debt #3+ extra payment.
That way, you will get them all paid off, on time, and pay the least interest. It will also help towards rebuilding your credit since you will no longer have any late payments. This works no matter how many different debts you may have.
4. After you get all of your debts paid off, add to your emergency fund until you have 6-12 months of income saved up. Put that emergency fund money into a liquid money market fund or into a Bank of America no-risk CD so that if you need the money you can take it out without penalty.
5a. When you have your emergency fund in place, add a category for &quot;fun&quot; to your budget. Save for a holiday, a vacation, a big screen, or dinners out, whatever goal you want. Remember to enjoy your life.
5b. When you have your emergency fund in place, start saving for your retirement. Join the 401(k) plan at work and contribute the maximum. Your employer probably matches at least part of your contribution so why give up free money? Open a Roth IRA and contribute the maximum on a monthly basis. If you start saving for your retirement now, you will probably retire a millionaire.
5c. When you have your emergency fund in place, start saving for your next car. Only buy cars, or other things that depreciate, with cash. Save up for a nicer car. That way you get the interest instead of paying the interest.
You can do it and it isn&#039;t as hard as you think. Just follow the plan.</description>

		<description>You do NOT need a credit card.  A debit card will allow you to do anything a credit card will EXCEPT get you into debt.  If you cant pay cash you can&#039;t afford it!  And that includes cars.  if you use your head you can own good quality late model used cars for life without debt.   

Why not teach our kids to save and invest instead of spend and get debt?</description>
