There are proven ways to pay off your debt quickly and in doing so, repair your credit. Consolidating debt only prolongs the misery and payoff date. To get out of debt you need to spend less than you are making, what’s left over should be applied to the debt in just the opposite way that the bank makes money from us. Try using the banks tools against them…it works and I can show you how.

Finally, folks, ALL debt management programs hurt your credit. The banks lowering your credit limit hurts your credit; the banks closing your accounts and raising your rates hurts your credit too. So do you want to save money or stay in the rat race? Do your homework and do what is best for you

I will never advise a lay person to watch this video and be misled, she is talking in a particular context; first she should clarify what she is talking about; any good presentation starts with definition of terms and scope of presentation.
