If you are considering credit card consolidation as an alternative to your increasing credit card debt you may have asked either of the following common questions:
How do credit card consolidation loans work?
Credit Card consolidation loans work by paying off all your credit card debt and providing a single repayment at a lower interest rate than previously experienced with the credit cards that it pays off.
Simple really but here is the downside.
Qualifying for a consolidation loan is not as easy as it used to be with lenders being far more reluctant to help those people who they deem to be of greater financial risk. In other words, unless your credit history is good you may struggle to find a company willing to lend to you.
This is why it is important to act before you encounter any financial problems that may affect your credit score adversely.
Right, let’s just say that you have fulfilled all the criteria required by the lender for a successful credit card consolidation loan application the next step will be to provide all the necessary accurate debt information so that the lender knows exactly how much money is actually required for your consolidation.
Finally, when this is completed they will lend you the money needed to pay off your creditors and be left with just the one monthly loan payment.
In some cases the lender will insist that they pay off the creditors for you or alternatively they will list on your contract the creditors and the value of each amount to be paid off by you as a condition of the loan.
How do credit card consolidation programs benefit you?
A reduced interest rate is the over-riding benefit of a consolidation program. Credit cards have predominantly high interest rates and charges which means that people are paying a great deal of money each month just to pay off interest alone, sometimes this interest can be as high as 30% which is extortionate.
By lowering your interest rate you can save a great deal of money, consolidation loans will also make managing your debt much easier as you will only have the one loan repayment to worry about each month instead of several high interest repayments to your credit cards.
Consolidating your credit card debt will only work as a debt management measure if you refrain from using your credit cards, if you continue to charge your cards after consolidation you will be in an even worse situation, consolidate your credit cards and then cut them up!

Good luck.
Depending on your situation, you may have a number of ways to work your way out.
I will tell you two things that are true for almost every situation:
1) You need to stop spending more than you have.
2) Bankruptcy is probably not a good option for you.
As far as taking care of your existing problem, if your credit is still in good shape, but you are simply overextended, then debt consolidation or debt negotiation would be good options for you. If your credit is shot, and most of your accounts are, or soon will be, six months late, then debt settlement is probably your best option.
No matter which method you choose, you will likely need to fix your credit, either along the way or afterwards. If you have a home mortgage, then you will need to look at loan mitigation options. Be careful here, because a lot of sharks exist in the industry.
I'm not that familiar with Debtors Anonymous, but I expect that they are similar to Gamblers Anonymous, which simply provides counseling, rather than direct solutions to your problems.
Check below for a better suggestion, which can help with all of the issues you raised. Good luck!

I've been working with them 2 times and I am very happy with the results. After you fill out the short online form with your contact information, a professional debt counselor will contact you and provide a free credit card debt analysis, and discuss your options.
Hope this helps.

You’re really good man. You’ve got excellent talent.
its very hard to get one actually!! i just recently got a loan, but i had to have a co signer with great credit!!! beacuse i needed like $15,000 to pay off my credit cards. and they normally only loan out a max of about half that!! all you can do is keep trying.
Nice work, you did pretty good.
Debt consolidation programs usually leave you worse off than you were originally. My suggestion would be to call your creditors and ask them if they could get you onto a payment plan that will work for you. Also, pick the card with the lowest rate and ask them if you could consolidate all of your debt to their card with the agreement that you will close other cards. They may do this, and then you will only have to make 1 payment per month and deal with 1 company when you're having trouble making payments. If this isn't an option, try to make your minimum payments while any extra money goes to the card with the highest interest rate.
Perfect.

how is this not a real photo?
Most if not all of these so called "debt consolidation companies are a scam.
What they do is not pay your creditors for months and then try and settle with them for less. No special skills. They just don't pay.
They also charge a fee everymonth to do this.
Your creditors do not have to talk with these people. It's your debt.
Also, if they don't pay your creditors. You, and you alone are still responsible for the debt. Your creditors will sue you and not the company you hired.
29% is mad. I wouldn't advice you to ever get behind if you want to maintain any credit ratings which could be the only positive thing out of this situation.
There are plenty of places that'll lend you money to pay it all off on less interest, so this might be a less steep way out of it.
You surely need a fair amount so I don't know but whatever you can get at a lesser % is always better than nothing.
Perhaps this can help http://credit—card.org/ good luck
maybe you ought to just forget about them if your credit is already damaged, keep using them to buy stuff, then when you run out of credit on your credit cards, declare bancruptcy
You have 3 different choices here:
1. Negotiated Debt Settlement
2. Consumer Credit Counseling
3. Debt Consolidation Loan
Except the loan, both, credit counseling and debt settlement, are going to negatively impact your credit. In credit counseling, you are paying a third party to make payments on your behalf, and in return the credit counseling firm is supposed to get you discounts on late fees and interest rates to "ideally" get the debt paid of quicker. These programs usually do not work, primarily because, no one agency has great relations ships with all creditors and more so because more than half of them were funded by credit card companies themselves. These programs can take anything from 4 – 6 years to complete.
Also, many of your future lenders and creditors are going to see that you enrolled in a credit counseling program, and are basically going to think that you cannot handle you finances well.
Negotiated debt settlement, basically saves your money in an escrow account and then makes lump sum settlement payments to each of your creditors ONE AT A TIME. I cannot stress that enough. Most people do not understand this concept, as while you are saving money, no payments are bieng made to the creditors. This will definitely impact your credit. But you have to look at it in a sense that you take this time to get rid of your debt completely, and you can repair/recover your credit after you have gotten the debts paid of. Debt settlement programs take about 18 tp 36 months to complete, so you are looking at a definite timeline to eliminate your debts.
Keep in mind that both these options will only work with credit card debts and not your student or auto loans.
The third option is to get another debt consolidation loan, but given your limited income and high amount of debt, I doubt that you will be successful in getting approved for a low interest loan for 25K (which is what you need to get all your credit card debt into one loan.
You can also try to consolidate your student loans seperately.
