How much do debt consolidation companies charge for their services?
July 6, 2010 · Posted in Improve Your Credit Score
I was wondering, how much would a debt consolidation company charge to help me with my debt problems. I’m trying to figure out if it would be worth it to pay one of these companies or do it myself. I’m in so much debt that I can barely make the payments and I really don’t know what I can do. After I get paid, I usually only have about $100 to last me through the week because the rest goes to bills.

Additional Information
Do some research and find as much information as you can. Doing your own debt repair is quite time consuming, but since it wont cost you anything it’s worth a try.
Credit Counselors charge between $10-$50/month and can get your interest rates cut a little bit.
Debt Settlement companies usually charge about 15% of what you owe.
A mortgage debt consolidation will cost you from 1% to 4% of the amount you refinance.
What you should really look at is;
what is the total cost to get debt free,
how long will the program take,
and how low you can get your monthly payment.

Sorry to hear about your struggles, however there are better ways than going through a debt consolidation company. Many of these places are ripoffs that take your money. Sit down and make a budget, starting with necessities first. See how much money you actually have to pay your debt. Decide how much you can pay each creditor and call them up and explain this. Ask them to lower your interest rate and show them your budget and they’ll work with you. Go see Dave Ramsey’s web site http://www.daveramsey.com and buy the book Total Money Makeover for $15. Good book on budgeting and understanding money. It will help you get this taken care of. Good luck!
A lot of times they charge a percent of whatever you are saving (you’ll still end up saving in the long run). You can also look into certain non-profit debt help agencies that will not cost you.
Be vary wary of debt consolidation companies as they will often charge you very large fees and make you go deeper into debt, rather than helping you get out.
sometimes you have to do a lot of research before finding the right consolidation company. overall, though, no one is going to choose to consolidate if the price of doing so costs more than maintaining their current debts. usually this isn’t the case though…good blog. please visit my blog about consolidation loans bad credit and leave some feedback. thanks!
Like previous commentors have said I would also enforce the need to do your research, speak to a variety of different companies and organisations and make sure you’re aware of the total amount of charges you’ll incur.
