If you're struggling with debt, you should first call a credit counseling agency and see if you can realistically afford to pay back your debt under a Debt Management Program (DMP). &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Check out nfcc.org for a non-profit credit counselor in your area.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Debt consolidation is, by far, generally, a better option than bankruptcy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Debt consolidation, short of just paying your debt back yourself,  will have the least impact on your credit scores. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It's also the less stressful option, since you make one monthly payment to the agency and they pay each of your creditors. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But, if you are contemplating bankruptcy, then your debt may be so high in comparison to your income that you cannot afford the payment under a DMP. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If that's the case, your next move is to meet with a bankruptcy attorney to find out whether that's a good option for you. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If it's not, or if you really want to try to pay back as much as you can afford, only then should you consider debt negotiation or debt settlement. &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator>The Dolans</dc:creator><foaf:maker><foaf:Person><foaf:name>The Dolans</foaf:name><yedda:age>50</yedda:age><foaf:homepage rdf:resource="http://yedda.com/people/9519631515981/?src=rss:qb:ap" /><foaf:img rdf:resource="http://static1.yeddacdn.com/resources/00000024317/8cbc700c81bdea6.jpg" /></foaf:Person></foaf:maker><yedda:post><yedda:type>answer</yedda:type><yedda:thread previous="http://yedda.com/questions/Credit_card_debt_951980861805308/joanne_name_Thomas_working_field_627301418373330" /><yedda:rating>3.0</yedda:rating></yedda:post><pubDate>Tue, 28 Jul 2009 18:12:10 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://yedda.com/questions/Credit_card_debt_951980861805308/black_white_issue_youre_struggling_735828107631004?src=rss:qb:qbi</guid></item><item><title>RE: With credit card debt mounting, is it better to ...</title><link>http://yedda.com/questions/Credit_card_debt_951980861805308/hey_joanne_nbsp_866-943-5037_let_951872431810386?src=rss:qb:qbi</link><description>&lt;p&gt;hey joanne,&lt;/p&gt;
