Has anyone ever used this site ? my-negotiation-debt.com? I am having financial troubles. I saw this sight and would like to know if anyone has every used them and can help me with my concerns. They say negotiations are better than consolidating. That consolidating your debts is just as same as if you would declare on chapter 13. Is this true? They run your credit report for free if you say in a recording that it is being done with the purpose of purchasing a house. Is this liable? They say they work with B&D real estate and that is why you have to say the report will be used for the purpose of purchasing a home. I am very concerned about giving personal info by phone.

hospital debt lawsuit? A hospital filed a summon against me for $6565 + their attny's fees. I think that bill is way too excessive and unreasonable. I represented myself in court a couple of months ago for a hearing, and now the case is set for trial. I planned to stipulate with the plaintiff's attorney (hospital) for mediation, but I don't think I have time. I contacted a couple of debt negotiation service. One company said they may be able to settle the case by contacting the provider directly and hopefully reduced the charges claimed by 30-40%. Then my fees to the company is 30% of what is saved. Does anyone have any suggestion regarding this. I'm looking to make payments but not sure if that is possible. Please advise. Thank you.

Are there any law firms that handle debt settlement / negotiations versus debt settlement companies? I hear that debt settlement companies are rip offs.
which is worse for credit, bankruptcy or debit negotiation companies? talked to a company that "helps" with debt, decided on negotiation which means that I pay into an account with the company and they wait until my creditors have gotten to the point that they are willing to negotiate to settle the debts to pay them off. so all of the credit cards will basically go to collections and this is all going to be done over a period of 3 years so it is going to trash my credit. should I just file bankruptcy and move on? which is worse?

The debt relief company cancelled what do I do now? Last may we decided to consolidate our debt and made payments to a debt relief company who would begin negotiations as soon as we paid the finance charges. Never got that far b/c our state passed law that said they could not do business with us, we got refunded. In the meantime we have been turned over to collection agencies, should I negotiate with them on my own?
What to do with credit card debt?? I have a about $8,500.00 credit card debt.

I live in upstate NY and have a lot of debt. Where can I find information on debt consolidation? I've made some progress with it but am tired from 70 hour work weeks and two jobs making the progress. I only pay on 3 of 5 debts and live in constant fear that one in particular of the 5 will start hounding me for payment - I can't work anymore than I already do and I can't pay it. I'd like to try the proactive approach of debt consolidation, but with all the bad press on shady lenders, I'm almost terrified I'll wind up worse off than where I started. One debt is approximately $4500, which I successfully reached a payment schedule agreement which will have it paid off in October of this year. What kind of ramifications will consolidation have on it? Another is around $8000 (negotiated for them to stop interest charges), $4000, $6000 and $2400 (no helpful negotiations reached, I'm afraid of the $6000 one though that I'm not paying). Any insight is welcome...
I owed comapny card some money. The case has been forworded to General of Attorney office. What does it mean? I owed chase credit card company around $5000 five years ago. Recently I checked my credit report and found they sold my debt to a debt collector. On the report, it stated the debt is $10K now. I would like to pay off my old debt, so I called the company. But they told me I should contact the State general of Attorney. What does it mean? Is means I lost my time for debt negotiation? I have been out of country for the past five years and I have not got any mail regarding my debt from the company. What should I do? I am in Michigan, but they told me the case has been forwarded to Iowa. Why is that? The statute of limitations in Michigan is 7 years. It should start from the date I have not paid for my bill or from the date the debt collector bought my debt from the company? I owed credit card company around five yars ago, but the debt collector listed on my credit report from last Nov. What should I do? Are they going to freeze my bank account?
I know that i am a stranger, but would anyone mind lending me $850? I have every intention of verifying who i am by any means. I don't expect anyone to just lend me the $850 without me giving them ALL of my real information. Just in case anyone was wondering; i am not some bum looking to scam off people. I work hard for everyday. I am sales rep for a debt negotiation company. I do volunteer work throughout the city and love helping people in general. I am just in a tight spot right now because i kind of promised my nephew that i'd get him a laptop for his birthday which is on the 15th of this month but i'm just all tapped out right now. I will give $1,200 back in 2 weeks to the person who decides to lend me the $850.
