Should I do credit counseling?

Should I do credit counseling? If you just want to lower your interest rates on your credit cards and you are in good financial condition, the answer is no. Joining a credit counseling program should only be if you are experiencing a financial crisis. You may be over the limit or have rolling late payments and are getting saddled with late fees and over the limit fees. Once you start this cycle, your creditors will raise your interest rates that are commensurate with the universal default rate that is in your credit contract. Once you start a cccs program the creditors will stop the over limit and late fees. You will also be given lower interest rates. The rates will depend on the creditor. They are all different. I like Bank of America in general. If you do join a credit counseling program, they lower their rates to 0%. Other credit card companies can be across the board when it comes to rates.

Instant Credit Builders - pay off your old bills

Instant credit builders are for real. When you pay off or pay down debt, your credit score will be impacted almost immediately. Doing debt negotiation and paying of a collection can raise your score 200 points or more in some cases. This could be the difference between buying a home or continuing to rent. The other thing that has an impact on your credit is what percent of your credit limit you have used on your credit cards. Once you go over 30% of your available credit on your credit cards, your score will be negatively affect. So if you have the money and want to raise your credit scores, just pay them down to 30% of what you owe.

What is CCCS?

What is CCCS? CCCS stands for consumer credit counseling services. Typically these debt consolidation programs are run by a non profit company. Debt consoladation can get you out of debt in about 5 years vs. 30 years if you keep making the minimum payments on your credit cards. If you are behind or over the limit, you can get the late fees and over the limit fees stopped once you have enrolled into the program.

Is consumer credit counseling right for me?
