Finding Good Help

Like I said in my earlier post, it's either hit or miss with debt consolidation companies. You want to make sure your help is coming from a non-profit organization because their true main goal is to help you get debt free. With that said, how do we start the search?

The first, and most obvious answer is the internet (though this is not how I did it). Search engines are very powerful tools if used with the correct keywords. Try search with specific keywords such as "Non-profit debt consolidation MyCity,State." If you live in a large enough area, you are bound to come up with something.

If you've no luck with the interwebz, you can always go conventional and look a company up in the yellow pages. Honestly, you're more inclined to find the money-seeking companies in here, but it's not a bad idea to look. This method would especially be useful because it is local, and who knows? Maybe you may find someone you know!

Now to the method that scored me a great company. Church. That's right, doesn't matter what religion, just go to church of google one day and start conversing and try to get on topic about your problems. Church-goers are so helpful and nice, they almost always try to give you every solution they know of. I actually got pointed to a guy right in my church!

Stay strong! You'll make it!
