[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 159845, member: 1233"] Steely, I was very much amazed after we went throught the credit counselling and financial education stuff to learn that our credit rating got BETTER because we worked with a credit counselling company. we paid a LOT less than we would have if WE called the creditors. I started the credit counselling because husband is a fool with credit cards. I wanted him to have some education in this. When we went to buy a house, I really thought we would be SOL. Really and truly. But we had BETTER credit because we worked with a non-profit credit counselling group and paid the much much much lower monthly fees. If we paid it ALL off in lump sum agreements our credit would have been much worse, because one thing they want to know is if you can and will make monthly payments on time. The place we used did an automatic withdrawal, so we didn't forget. husband would when I was too sick to do the bills. (arggghhh). I am so sorry. I know how painful and scary this is. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
