Is debt consolidation right for me

Is debt consolidation right for me? It depends. If you have been late a few times and your rates have been raised to where your can't afford the payments anymore. You may want to consider a debt consolidation program. Typically we are talking about consumer credit counseling. It is no longer a dirty word. It used to be that in a CCCS program you could not get a mortgage. It was looked at as a chapter 13 bankruptcy. Now you can buy a home even if you are in a consumer credit counseling program. The history shows that people in a consolidation program are no more likely to default than people that are not in a program. One nice thing that a negotiation program can do for you is to stop rolling lates and over the limit fees. This can be a real killer for people.

Before you sign up for any program, check online with the rip off report and the Better Business Bureau.
