How To Really Get Out Of Debt - Without Spending A Fortune On
"Credit Counseling"!
Do you need an expensive credit counseling service to get out of
debt? Maybe not. Find out here and explore other ways to rid
yourself of debt without spending a lot of money. If you decide
you need counseling - you'll find reliable referral resources to
match you up with a reputable service.
If you're like most people, you may not realize credit
counseling is big business. Some of those "nice folks" trying to
help you get out of debt make good money for their efforts. And
guess who pays for their services? You, the poor debt-ridden
client! The fees end up bundled into the "consolidation
solution".
The fact is you may not even need their help. This article is
meant to help you determine if you do need counseling. If you
decide you do, I'll provide links to reputable sources for
counseling. You may still pay a fee, but at least but you can
breath a sigh of relief knowing you're not being taken for a
ride. But first, do you really need counseling? Let's find out...
Are you bombarded with calls from creditors?
If so it may be time to get help - many agencies can work with
creditors on your behalf to establish payment schedules.
Are you making regular payments on all your debts?
Good for you. Making regular payments is a sign you may not need
counseling yet. However if you've stopped making payments or
have missed more than just a couple in the past few months, you
may wish to consider contacting a counselor.
Have creditors started legal action against you?
If you're facing foreclosure on your home, your car being
repossessed, or other legal actions, you should really consider
getting outside help.
But what if you are "just a little behind"? Or even if you're
simply a tad uncomfortable, wondering where all your money goes.
If so you may be in better shape than you think.
One way to get out of debt is to do it yourself. These days
there are many self-help books and courses designed to help you
get back on track and even win back your financial freedom from
debt.
Leo Quinn offers one such book "How to Own Your Paycheck Again".
Leo's no-nonsense style has helped hundreds of people shed their
debt like an old rag as he shatters some of the myths spouted by
many so-called "experts" like:
"Buying a home is the best investment you can make" - oh really?
Leo shows you in dollars and cents how this is not always true.
Leo also challenges the "pay off your high interest debts first"
idea and shows exactly why you should challenge it too!
The bottom line is Leo Quinn not only shows you how you pay off
all your debts (yes including your mortgage) in less than 10
years and the tools you need come right with the book. If you
believe you're not quite ready for counseling, check out Leo
