What is the best program for consolidating or debt settlement? I need to consolidate my debts, either by getting a loan (unlikely with my credit) or through a settlement company. I want to use a good one, though, so does anyone have any recommendations? I could easily file bankruptcy with my income and lack of assets, but I would rather pay off the debts. Some of the collections are hostile, now, though, because I have so many different ones after me that I can't possibly make my payments each month to each of them. This all stems from two hospital trips earlier this year. I don't even own a credit card, so I'm not financially irresponsible. Just poor and uninsured. Any reccomendations would be very much appreciated!
