Are Debt Consolidation Agency's a good idea to help lower debt?
Between my husband and i we have about 12 credit cards. I know, i know we shouldn't have gotten ourselves in this mess to begin with. We are 22 years old, I have a steady well paying job and he is in the military. We do not have creditors calling yet, but we are struggling to pay the minimum payments. 1 of his credit cards did get recently charged off.I tried shopping for Debt Consolidation Agency's and the one i looked into was going to charge us a $2,750 service fee Is this normal?Our total debt in Credit Cards alone is appox. $18,000 not including car payments, household bills etc. HELP If not a Debt Consolidation Agency, then what? And if i go with a Consolidation Agency will it affect my credit?

Looking to lower debt, especially student loan debt. How does Dave Ramsey's work and how did it work for you?
I'm a single mom just preparing to finish nursing school. I also have an B.A. and my student loan debt is about 85k. I am going through a divorce and have two kids, need to buy a home my ex is keeping the current house we are in . I have maybe 1500 in credit cards and a car loan. Other than that no debt that I can think of. My major debt lies within my student loans. I want to pay these off asap and not over a 20 30 year period. I want to know if Dave Ramsey's system is worth it. I will be the only one paying for my new home, the car, the loans, daycare, food etc and when you throw on that much in student loans its scary I want something that will work and help me to get my finances in order and paid off in as little time as possible. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. And please no sarcastic or rude comments. Looking for real advice from people who actually care to give it. Thank you.The house is owned by my ex. We bought it while married but his name is on everything and mine is not so I dont have to worry about the house. As soon as I get a job I will have only a limited amount of time to get a new place to live, and with two children and a dog I want a house with a yard so I have to buy as soon as I can. I'm having a hard time finding a place that will consolidate the debt. The loans I have out used to have an option for it but with everything going on with the economy I'm guessing thats the reason they aren't doing it right now

In regards to credit score is it better to have a "in good standing debt" or lower debt to income ratio?
After checking my credit reports for my wife and myself, I found an almost maxxed out $5000.00 credit card account on both that actually belongs to my mother. The payments have all been made on time so it shows in good standing but is that less important then having a better debt to income ratio?

How do I find an investor who will buy my mortgage. V-High FICO, Low Debt/income, will pay 6% NO PMI!.?
I make too much to take advantage of OBAMA plan mortgage insurance and PMI is 28 % of gross income , Have NO CC debt, only car payments and Mortgage. My home is now worth 5K less than my mortgage, and I don't want to pay PMI since the banks really aren't shouldering any risk anymore My KIDS AND THEIR KIDS WILL SHOULDER IT So basically willing to sell my mortgage at 6 % interest on 260K, paid 280 last Feb for home, and it's now worth per my mortgage company 255K. I will pay any legal costs to have contract written up. I have a solid job in management position at fortune 100 company, with 10years at the same company. Married with kids, and highly educated. I do NOT want to pay PMI anymore because as I mentioned, the banks do not deserve it. I am very low risk and have ALWAYS paid my bills. My home has lost about 30K in value, I had put 10 % down on the original loan, don't have the cash to bring me down to 80 % LTV and thus am now stuck paying PMI. My current interest rate is 5 7 8ths.If I had an additional 10 % to put down to make it 90LTV at this point, I would just do that, and then eliminate the PMI. Unless it's able to be appraised at a current 110 % of what I own on my mortgage, this doesn't help.I have confirmed that my bank collects my PMI 100 %, And most banks do collect a large portion of PMI..do your research.I have lost 30K on the value, not just 5K. I am now underwater by 5K.
