I enrolled four of my five credit lines in a debt settlement company. Now two are paid off and two have apparently given up and gone away. The fifth is back on track. I got rid of my car and ride the bus (live in Los Angeles). Got a forbearance on my student loan. One more year and I’ll have everything paid off except the student loan. I’m getting there. But it’s easier for me; I don’t have a family.
Like - they no longer want the loot? Just how cool is that?
