Back in 96 when I first got into credit card trouble, I used one of these services. I owed about $5000 on four different cards at the time. I sent a $258 (yes, I still remember) payment to this company every month right on time. I thought everything was going fine.

After a year, I did some checking, and I then owed $7000!!!!!! What had happened was the company would hold onto my money for a month before distributing it to the credit cards. But the credit cards kept taking on late and over limit fees.

So all in all, I spent approximately $3096 ($258 x 12 months) to INCREASE my debt by $2000.

I can't tell you how pissed off I was.

And I can't warn you enough that you should be extra careful when dealing with these organizations.

poor lawyer, esq.
