Question:

Debt Consolidation?

Does anyone know the best way to go about getting debt consolidation advice? I don't qualify for any sort of loan, but I really need help with my debt, I just bought a house and due to fix ups on it my credit cards are maxed out and I can't seem to get them to go down. Does anyone have any advice? Or ideas on how to fix up an old house without sucking your wallet dry?


Answers:

1) a simple rule if you can't afford it do not buy it no matter what. sell the house and pay the debt if you have money at a profit bank it and wait until you have a better financial picture.
