I’m not talking about those debt consolidation programs, where they settle your debt and you make payments to them. That actually adversely affects your credit. But what other ways are there?

I am being sued by Apothaker & ***. and on the papers they claim to be representing Discover.
Discover has this listed as profit and loss right off bad debt on my credit report. Wouldn’t that mean they sold the debt?

I filed my taxes today and included a 1099c form for a credit card debt of $10,107. Now that this debt is paid, how can I get the credit card company to remove this from my credit report so my credit score can go up. All of my bills are paid on time and I only have one debt left that is a positive on my report. My goal is to be debt free and buy a house this year.

How do you consolidate credit card debt if you do not own a home?

RunsWithKnife asked:


I owe about $12,000 in credit card debt and I wanted to make that my year’s goal to pay it off, but a lot of the websites I find require that you own a home, or charge a huge interest for someone to “negotiate” with your creditors to bring down interest. Does anyone know of a good resource where I can just consolidate the debt and make one reasonable payment?

I have quite a bit of credit card debt. Should I use my savings to pay off this debt, or would it be smarter to use it as a down payment on a house, and then a year or so down the road take out a home equity loan to pay off the debt?

Can credit card debt transfer to your children after your death?

Thursday, March 19th, 2009
extisc asked:


An older family member of mine has a large amount of credit card debt and their only major asset is the house that they currently live in. From what I’ve read it seems that creditors will liquidate all of their assets including the house in order to try and cover the debt upon their death.

One of their children wants to purchase the house or assume the mortgage from them now and become the new owner. If the house is sold/transferred in this manner and no longer belongs to my older family member with the large debt, will creditors try to come after her child upon her death?

The house is located in Florida.
