“Since joining the Consolidated Credit Counseling Services program, I've changed many of my spending habits in order to stay within a well-defined budget. I've also embarked on a financial lifestyle change that will prove as beneficial to me in the future.

Before joining Consolidated Credit Counseling Services, I didn't really have a budget because I had so many lines of credit and became comfortable just using credit cards to dine out regularly and charge all sorts items that I didn't really need, such as extra clothes, electronics and unnecessary house wares.

When it came time to pay the monthly bills, I made the mistake of transferring balances back and forth in an attempt to avoid having to pay off balances right away. I just told myself, "Oh, I'll pay that account off next month," but months turned into years and my debt grew even more.

When my minimum payments began to rise, I started to feel trapped and started researching debt management options. I was excited to learn about Consolidated Credit Counseling Services and was relieved to have finally found a reputable program that could help me dig myself out of the mess I created.” Read more about this debt management success story .

“You wouldn't believe what my life has been like this past year, and just how lucky I got making the decision to join Consolidated Credit Counseling Services.

Like a lot of people, I racked up more than a handful on my credit cards during college and post-college life. To be honest, I wouldn't have survived without them, but now that

I have a steady career blooming, I wanted a clean fresh start, and my debt was preventing me from that. I was so stressed paying nearly $1,000 a month just on credit cards and about half of that was going to interest alone. My sister introduced me to Consolidated Credit and honest to God, just speaking with a counselor about my future payment program, gave me such a huge relief! I joined immediately and making that first payment gave me a great deal more financial freedom, and it didn't hurt to know that I will be debt free in less then three years! Doing it on my own would have taken me more than 15 years!” Read more about this Consolidated Credit Counseling success story .

How Consolidated Credit Has Helped Me

I’m quite a shopaholic, all my friends know that is true, I shop until my money’s gone, and then the bills are due. TN many times I’ve tried to stop my fun-filled shopping sprees, They told me, don’t go to the malls, and it will be a breeze.

They didn’t understand my plight, ‘cause when I get depressed, it makes me feel much better, to buy jewelry or a dress. I’ve got a true addiction which I thought could not be cured, until I saw a TV ad which interested me for sure.

I heard a man say “Are you tired of having not a cent by the time the bills are paid each month, your money’s all been spent?” Well, listen here for we can help, we’re experts in our field. We’re called Consolidated Credit, we’ll give you a great deal.
