But American consumer credit counseling also has the power to lead you dangerously astray, into the lion's mouth. en-us Sat, 26 Jul 2008 15:00:00 EDT Sat, 26 Jul 2008 15:00:00 EDT Weblog Editor 2.0 Why would you trust anyone offering American consumer credit counseling? For the same reason you are here, hanging out with me, the Debt Relief Guy. We need to trust people in these moments of extreme financial peril - we need help, there are companies offering help through American consumer credit counseling, so we jump up and down and hug their knees and thank them for the opportunity. Behind closed cyber-doors The first lesson to shopping for American consumer credit counseling is never believe a word! Companies - especially online companies - offering American consumer credit counseling have a knack for telling consumers exactly what they want to hear: Become debt free in half the time! Increase your credit score by 100 points! Live the life you want to live - with our help and our help alone! We've all heard the lines, we all know they are bogus, yet we all keep running toward the opportunity, standing in line for that American consumer credit counseling we've heard so much about and want so badly. Its called marketing, and the professionals behind these marketing stratagems are very, very good. It took decades for our country to learn not to trust everything they see on TV - well now its time to reeducate ourselves about learning, and trusting the words on a new screen. The bottom line of American consumer credit counseling Lesson #2: look for the contract. But don't stop there, read the contract as well and make sure everything is in order, is kosher. If there is a clause in your contract stating that rates will increase substantially given this or that happens, make sure you are prepared enough to guarantee that this or that never happens to you. American consumer credit counseling is all about information and guidance - but there will always be some necessary level of self guidance and motivation on the behalf of the client. You can make a positive impact with American consumer credit counseling. Just know what you are doing, exactly what you are getting into, and avoid the pitfalls as stated in the finest of print.
