Are there any good Debt consolidator companies in Sacramento CA?
And what is the difference between debt consolidation and credit counseling?
A debt consolidator usually works for a credit company and gives "free advice" in an effort to move your entire balance of debt to them. They try and negotiate any deals they can to pay off your current debt and then they make the interest on what is left for you to pay. A true credit counselor gets an upfront fee from you and will advise you on strategies to reduce your debt. They look at all options including consolidation, bankruptcy, and partial payoffs.
I'm looking for a credit counselor who can sit down with me and look at my financial situation and help me come up with a plan to manage my debt. I need help getting out of debt but can't seem to find any legitimate places to go to get help near Sherman Oaks, CA.
I am past due (90 days) on all of my bills except rent, cell, and car. I've estimated my debt is about 7k.
First don't pay someone money to do something you can do yourself with a little time. What kind of debt are we talking and are the accounts still current?
this is in reply to additional info.
Since your already 90 days past due you could contact the creditor and ask them how to settle the account the worst they could say is no they want the full amount. Or you could wait until you receive a letter from a collection agency they are more apt to let you settle it for much less than what's due and you could always negotiate with them to delete it from your credit profile once it's paid. Or you can have them update your file to read pays as agreed.
I do have a sample letter you could send them once they contact you if you want it just email me.
Are these all small amounts to each creditor or do you just owe a few people?
Price: $24.95

This is my family situation in India. My late father had taken several loans on his inherited land property. He repaid almost everything. Almost all the inherited land is sold except a loan of 1.7 lakhs on the only piece of land which belongs to my brother who is now the only earner in our family of three (my mom stays with my brother and I am in US, married but not working). My brother started his career as a CA (he cleared the exam very late) in Jan 2006 and had several pressures during that time (my father was diagnosed with cancer that time and the expenses grew as my father was not earning). My brother's only saving is 1 lakh till date and we dont own a house of our own. My brother would like to be very careful in any expense as he is still paying off the interest on the remaining debt that my father took on the land. He wants to buy a home. Please advise on this and any professional credit counseling centers in Trivandrum (Kerala,India).
I would also like to add that my mom and brother are a quiet hesitant to sell off the land as that would mean there would be no assets for my brother to lean back on if thats sold. Both of them are staying in a rented house in Trivandrum (Kerala, India) and the rent is quiet high (6000/month). With the debt and a very small saving, is it possible to think of buying a home? What are the Finance Couseling Centers in Trivandrum? Please advise, anything greatly appreciated

CARD Act Protecting Buyers From Unfair Policies Finally Takes ...
As Costa Mesa debt settlement attorneys , we have been guardedly optimistic about the CARD Act for some time. This credit-card reform bill was passed last year and some of its provisions took effect in August, but the remainder became active Feb. 22. According to an article by McClatchy Newspapers , the law may help consumers avoid some of the most costly deceptive practices by credit card companies. However, other abusive practices remain unchecked, and credit card companies have already raised their rates to compensate for anticipated losses.
As of last August, credit card companies could not raise interest rates without 45 days' notice, and had to send bills at least 21 days before the payments were due. This week's new provisions add to those protections considerably. Companies may no longer raise customers' interest rates on existing balances until a bill is at least 60 days overdue. If a cardholder pays on time for six months after this happens, the credit card company must drop the interest rate back to its original size. Among other things, this will stop the practice of "universal default," in which a credit card company raises rates on all cards because of a late payment on one card. The article estimated that this alone will save U.S. cardholders $10 billion a year. Other provisions include: A requirement to get permission before allowing cardholders to spend over their credit limits. A prohibition on a practice called "double-cycle billing," in which the credit card company charges interest on the average daily balance over the past two months to determine the interest charge, rather than using the current month's balance. A requirement to put any payment over the minimum payment toward the balance with the highest interest rate. This applies only when there's more than one balance, of course. For cards with a high annual fee, a limit on that fee in the first year to no more than 25% of the total credit limit.
