Also, can a revolving line of credit (it’s also a atm card) be included in a debt consolidation? And can I choose to leave out a loan or specific credit card where I have 0%?

I want to get a debt consolidation loan, WITHOUT using my home equity, but they are telling me my credit score is great, but by ratio is too high. Well, I want to consolidate all the CC debt I have, but it’s running me in circles. What’s the point of trying to get a consolidation loan if they won’t lend it to you because you have too much debt? Does anyone know of ANY bank or anywhere I can turn to that understands and can try and help me? Thank you for your help!

Will any debt consolidation company include secured debts like cars and educational loans into the program?
Is it uncommon, does anyone know of one?

Should I go to a debt consolidation company or work it out amongst myself?

I owe on 3 credit cards. One is starting to fall behind on the payments as its too much to pay. Which route is the way to go? Debt consolidation or contacting creditors & explaining that I was living beyond my means & now I am having trouble paying.

On the one card I’m having trouble with (Chase), my monthly balance is $299 but I can afford to pay $180 a month to them. I’ve heard horror stories where people get the WORST treatment when they try to set up payment plans with credit card companies. Do most companies decline an offer of a payment arrangement? I can get back to more payments in January or February but now is hard.

I need a reliable trustworthy debt consolidation service quickly. I’ve heard that most advertised agencies are to be avoided.

I having been trying to find a debt consolidation loan for around 40,000 to 50,000 but I am not a homeowner. Does anyone have any recommedations?

I have about five to six unsecured debts [no credit cards] that i need to consolidate and make one payment or like. Bankruptcy is not an option for me. The total is around $10K. I am not interested in debt consolidation agencies, so far the ones i have talked to, i know more what to do than them…I can make monthly payments toward the debt and also pay reasonable fees and/or % of satisfactory arrangements. Anyone knows a serious, good attorney in the areas that i can contact for a free consultation. Thank you
Mr Gerald, with replies like yours no wonder you have so many answers….I am retired, disabled, soc sec, and yes i still work, as allowed…so your easy out is poor at best….thanks

My husband and I are trying to straighten out our finances because we have a lot of debt (credit cards mostly) and we want to buy a house. Everyone tells us that getting a a debt consolidation loan will help because we can combine all of our debts into one monthly payment, but we kept getting turned down or offered a low amount because we have too much credit being used. What’s the point of a debt consolidation loan if your too much in debt?

We are about $2300.00 in debt with alliance one and i think $900.00 in capitol one. We have a debt consolidation with Federated Financial. But I was thinking that maybe we should just settle with both of the debts ourselves because federated financial charges $29.00 a month and it will take us like 3 years to pay it off, if we go through them. What is the best choice?
