Debt consolidation, credit counseling, and debt settlement programs have become increasingly
popular, and in many cases, necessary. Predatory lending and questionable marketing practices
has led countless Americans down a dangerous path, where options like debt consolidation are
the only viable option.
Everything seems so easy and manageable at first. The offer said you get a great interest rate.
Debt consolidation services seem a world away. Only somewhere, lost in the fine print of your
cardholder agreement, does it mention that after a short period of time your interest rate will skyrocket to unaffordable levels. Only in the fine print does it mention if you are late once or you are late on another account (even if it is not a credit card), the rates will go up as well. Even those that can find a magnifying glass to go over all the details, may not know what they are really getting into.
Early on, services like debt settlement and debt consolidation may still seem like something for others. When people realize 6 months or a year down the road, that it would take them 30 years to pay down their debt, an understanding occurs that business as usual is no longer financially feasible. What if something happens? What if there is a loss of employment, a divorce, an illness...what then? It may be too scary to think about - until it is too late.
The lure of easily accessible funds is powerful. Many a creditor has used this to their
advantage. They know how to sell the dream. You too can have the good life. Take that trip, buy that jewelry, wear the nice designer clothes. They just don't say anything about paying for those things for the next few decades.
It is unfortunate that so many have to turn to debt management programs. Thankfully,
debt consolidation and programs like them can be a good friend in bad times.
