Debt Management with Chris Long

Has anyone ever used a debt management service? How did it affect your credit rating? Would you reccommend it?
I want to eliminate the rest of my credit card debt. I see the ads for debt management services where they work with your creditors to reduce your interest rates, then combine all of your debt together, where you pay them one payment per month. My husband thinks this will reflect negativly on our credit report. Has anyone ever done this, and were you succesful in eliminating debt? Did it affect your credit rating in a nigative manner? I think that most people in America today, have alot of consumer debt, but I see many poeple who aren't worried about it, and only pay the monthly minimums each month. I have been there before, but I am ready to pay it all off. What do you think? I would love to hear from anyone who has used these services before, or any other great idea to pay it all off, without taking out any more loans. Thanks!

Can I get approved for new credit after a Debt Management Plan?
Can you get approved for mortgage after going through a debt management plan (DMP) with a CCCS?
I have done a lot of research and I keep getting very conflicting information about the effects of a CCCS.
I want to hear from people that have gone through DMPs and what your experience has been like after completing the DMPs in term of applying for new credit.

I will also like to hear from mortgage lenders and other issuers of credit about your experience with approving people that that have completed a DMP with a CCCS.
I am thinking of signing up with a reputable company; however I want to buy a house in the next year, and I’ll like to know where I stand.

Thank you.

Debt Consolidation Options From Freedom Debt Relief

What is a reputable debt consolidation company?
I fell behind on my credit cards when I had an emergency medical expense. Even though I have a steady job and income, they've raised the payments and dropped the limits so there's no chance I'll catch up. I want to do debt consolidation but most companies Google brings me are a scam. I know it ruins your credit, but 8 90+ past due accounts does that too. I've been unable to work out plans with them or find a second job. What is a reputable company?
