I’ve seen more credit repair and debt consolidation options come on the market, with the worsening of the economy and job market deterioration. In my years in the finance industry, I have found some of them to offer good advice, while others offer bad. Creditors are trusting you to pay them back when they write you a home equity loan or an auto loan or any kind of loan for that matter.

Debt Consolidation Care, the “Internet’s first get-out-of-debt community” offers good advice, free of charge, through their counselor analysis and their community of other people, just like you, that may have found themselves in a credit mess.

Their offers free debt counseling, online debt consolidation help, company ranking chart, and forums where you can discuss your problems with other members that may have already been through the same thing. They also list articles that have good information on options that are available. One of the articles even includes sample letters you can use to send creditors.

Debt Consolidation Care goes through the pros and cons of other options such as self-repayment plans, debt management, debt settlement, debt consolidation loans, bill consolidation and bankruptcy. They give you some insightful information to fit your own scenario to help you make a more informed decision.

You can get advice on how to lower your monthly payments, reduce interest rates, waive late fees, eliminate collection calls, avoid bankruptcy, have only one monthly payment and become debt free. A plan of action will be developed between you and your debt consultant after the included debt counseling session.

As far as debt related websites that use the power of community to help members get out of debt, we’ve never seen anything better. There are many competing sites that don’t offer nearly the quality of information and help. They are mostly just trying to sell you services or information that doesn’t have your best interest in mind. Not only do you have a chance to get free advice from a panel of different experts, but by using their forums, you may find other people who have already gone through different options and can tell you what to expect, or the best one for your case, based on their experiences.

Your credit score is very important when it comes to the amount of interest you are charged for the money you borrow. The options you choose during times of credit trouble can not only determine your future borrowing ability, but can also save you thousands in interest and legal fees, if you make a well-informed decision. Over-use of credit can become a stressful life full of worry, and debt collection calls. By knowing your rights, and the sequence of events to expect, you can make your life less stressful and worry-free, by following the right advice.

You can go check Debt Consolidation Care Community at www.debtconsolidationcare.com for a free look at what they offer and read some of the articles and forums. You can become a member and get your free debt counseling analysis and start on your way to stress-free debt reduction, like thousands of others have.
