Debt Consolidation?
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009
eatfood asked:
I have over $4500 of credit card debt spread out among six different credit institutions as well as a car payment and then the obvious monthly utilities, rent and such. I cannot meet the minimums most months and am falling behind on some. My credit score isnt good enough to get one card to lower my payments. Should I consolidate my debt?
Does debt consolidation ruin your redit score? Assuming that my score is being tarnished as we speak simply because I cannot pay the minimums on my credit cards anyway, is it worse to have the debt consolidated? I think that I may be able pay off most of the debt in 1-2 years maybe less.
