Kee Kee asked:


I recieved a 1099c form from a credit card company for a settled credit card debt. The amount is for $10,000. I only make $31,000 per year. Will I end up owing on taxes due to being in a different tax bracket?Will the debt finally be gone?

Mysti asked:


A relative is going to loan me the money I need to pay off my credit debt. I’m suppose to file my appearance in court on Tues.

Should I call and make arrangements to send the payment in to the credit card company or the collection agency?

Do you think they will dismiss the lawsuit?

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

credit card debt
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?

How do credit card debt councilors work with credit card issuers?

credit card debt
Gayle asked:


I’ve seen on t.v. how credit card debt councilors work with banks when people owe a lot of money on their credit cards. They say they can not only reduce the amount owed but also get your monthly payments down to where they are manageable. How do they do this, are there any consequences such as a reduction of credit score, and is it effective (do they really do this or is it a scam)? Also, how much do they charge? Thanks.

What is the best way to pay off credit card debt?

credit card debt
The Bees Knees asked:


I’ve heard of companies like cureadebt.com that will settle your credit card debts for 70% of the amount owed. I’ve also heard of government grants to pay unsecured debt(credit cards), but I don’t know where to get the info on them. I’m considering a second mortgage to pay these off with a lower interest rate. Thoughts?

We no longer use credit cards, so the balance only increases because of high interest rates.
