Debt Consolidation, Debt Settlement Negotiations and Credit Repair It is amazing how many people create serious problems for themselves by over extending their credit. As a consequence a whole industry of debt consolidators and credit repair counselors, some of them working as non profit organizations, have sprung up around the country. The negative effects of credit problems are numerous. So many decisions-loans and insurance applications, even employment opportunities-are based on your credit rating. If you've had poor credit in the past, it's time to move on. There are several things you can do to improve your credit rating and begin building a solid foundation for the future. Consumer Credit Counseling, debt Consolidation, debt management or similar companies have been set up by many credit card companies to fight the rising number of defaults. These organizations basically work for the creditorsnot youjust like a collection company. In addition to what the creditors pay the CCC company, they charge you a monthly service fee for dispersing your money to your creditors. Until recently these companies were paid a commission of around 12% to 15% by the creditors for recovering the debt for them. That means for every dollar you give to them, the creditor was giving 15 cents back to the CCC company. This changed in 1999. According to an article in the Los Angeles Times "too many people were using CCC companies just to lower their interest rates" and as a result the creditors were cutting the commissions paid to the CCC companies to 8%. Not all of your cards may accept a negotiated plan. Several well-known and commonly held cards refuse to work with ANY CCC company. Debt Negotiation and Settlement Programs are rapidly becoming the preferred choice of debt elimination for most people severely in debt or considering bankruptcy The company shown (nldc) below may be a viable alternative, negotiation a settlement on behalf of you. An important word about Credit Reports and Credit Repair: No one can legally remove accurate and timely negative information from a credit report. But the law does allow you to request a reinvestigation of information in your file that you dispute as inaccurate or incomplete. There is no charge for this. Everything a credit repair clinic can do for you legally, you can, if you have the time, do for yourself at little or no cost. If you are short of time or if you are intimidated by talking to your creditors, there are services that can help. Some of them are shown below. By law, credit repair organizations must give you a copy of the "Consumer Credit File Rights Under State and Federal Law" before you sign a contract. They also must give you a written contract that spells out your rights and obligations. Read these documents before signing the contract. The law contains specific protections for you.
