You've recognized you have a problem and that is always the first step. There are certain debt management companies who have been cited for fraud. Be careful who you choose. Look for any complaints filed with the BBB before paying for the services of debt management company. Debt management services can be expensive and may not produce the results you need.
Try the suggestions given at http://www.MoneyExposed.com. If you are committed to reducing your debt, you don't have to spend thousands of dollars to do it.

Please clarify: Did you already default on your credit cards? If so, did you attempt to directly settle with your creditors at 50%?
Sometimes filing for Chapter 7 is the best thing to do, and surprisingly your credit rating can bounce back faster than you think. If the debt burden is still overwhelming in spite of being in a debt management plan, then you may want to think about filing. Non profit credit counseling programs are funded by the credit card industry and this can create an obvious conflict of interest in the advise they give you. Credit counselors will often tell people to not file for bankruptcy when they really should.
FYI: You can only file for Chapter 7 once every 8 years, not every time you get into financial trouble, so if you file make sure that this is really a financial emergency. Do what you need to do to support yourself…don't let anyone smear or guilt-trip you if you need to file for Chapter 7.
You are right. This is a sick practice. Thanks for your support!
J.
it doesnt change anything. its still debt.
I know been there done that…I contacted two police stations they could only write a report and I’ll fill out paperwork.
Once an account is closed, it is closed permanently. If you want another account from HSBC, you'll have to reapply.
Debt management is not horrible, but it is a serious decision. If you can't afford to make your payments with how they are right now, it may be the best decision for you to prevent further financial despair.
You touched on hardship though. Would you be able to activate a hardship plan? But it is only $98. To prevent your credit life from having a bad mark, trim your expenses and pay it off.
Contact me , and i’ll tell you how too resolve this matter
No I donot feel that this is a viable alternative for those of us that cannot control our spending.
If it was up to me, credit cards would either be eliminated altogether or they would have to be "prepaid" – deposit $$$$ to account and then get credit card – which would eliminate the huge debt that americans are building up.
People refinance their homes to buy expensive SUV's, payoff credit card debt, buy boats, etc.
When the crunch comes and banks start calling in those (unsecured) loans, a lot of people will go from rich to poor.
The only way to handle credit cards is to pay them off monthly and do not spend over your budget. That way you get a free loan for 30 or so days. If credit card companies strat charging interest from the tiome of purchase, I will stop using them and pay cash.
you need to keep going into your local police station until they do something. this isnt a small matter.
if you find yourself stuck between a "rock and a hard place" in regards to your credit, there are many things you can do to build a solid credit record. Many of these things are similar to what you could do if you had bad credit.
If you have lived in the same home for at least a year and held a job for the same period of time, you may qualify for small lines of credit with department stores and other businesses within your local community. Make sure these businesses report your account information with the three national credit bureaus or you will be wasting your time using their cards to build your credit.
The interest rates on many store cards may be higher than a typical credit card, so make sure to keep only a small balance on any of these cards you may have. It's often a good idea to avoid paying off your entire balance so you can build a repayment history for your fledgling credit report. As long as you don't max out your cards and make your required minimum monthly payments you'll be fine.
Another way to build credit is to take out a small loan from a local credit union or bank where you are a member. If you can avoid it, don't use the proceeds of the loan except to repay the debt. You will pay a small fee in interest but that's often a small price to pay for building your credit.
Once you've established a credit record and creditors can see you have no problems paying off your debt you may start receiving offers from major credit card companies. You could start getting all sorts of mail from Discover, Visa, MasterCard and even American Express.
Be careful about applying for too many lines of credit. Most lenders will check your credit history when you apply for credit and each inquiry is noted on your credit report for at least six months. Too many inquiries are a red flag to creditors that you may be financially unstable. Your best bet would be to apply for no more than one line of credit every six months.

You should contact the 3 major credit bureaus and let them know whats going on, they might give you some info in regards to identity theft and will direct you to the right person or dept.
Calling relative, it’s a sick tactic debt collectors use. Also at the collection agency I work at we report to the credit bureaus after 60 days, keep in mind that it is a violation of FEDERAL LAW for collectors to divulge the fact that they are collecting a debt to a third party, this includes family, friends and relatives, I’ve witnessed first hand at working at a collection agency that this is violated too often.
But who is the debt owed to? That’s the question.
Get dave Ramseys "Total Money Makeover". Or you can go to daveramsey.com and listen to his radio show or find a station near you to listen too. He has lots of good advice on debt and money.
I'm a divorce attorney and I can tell you that from experience, a majority of my clients get a divorce for money reasons. It's an extremely stressful thing that can put a real and definite strain on your marriage and we have a tendency to blame our spouses for it.
First off, do you have children? If you do, it's in your best interest to try to make it work. The stress a divorce puts on them is not worth it. Plus the cost of a divorce including child custody is just out of control.
Second, you might need to have an open and honest heart to heart with him. I know that's hard to do, but the number one key to a good relationship is open communication. How a couple responds in time of crisis is a good indication of how they will work out. That being said, try talking to him, let him know you odn't want to fight but you just need to figure things out with him. Depending on his response, you might have a better idea if your marriage has a chance.
Good luck!
NO, it shows that you are least trying to pay your bills
