Have you had success self- negotiating your credit card debt?

I was going to hire a debt settlement company at a cost to me of many thousands of dollars to me AND no guarantee that they would do what i am paying them to do. So i decided, what the heck, why not self-negotiate with my creditors?

It is better to seek help from any reputed debt settlement company. Such companies can handle it properly as they are experts in that field. I took help of freedom debt relief to negotiate with my creditors. I have joined their debt reduction program one year back and almost debt free now.

  1. My credit card companies wouldn't work with me at all. In fact, when they found out I lost my job, my interest jumped from 9% to 30%. I called each of them and gave them one last chance to work with me. When they basically told me to go fly a kite and that maybe they'd lower my interest by 2% in 6 months, I went ahead and filed for bankruptcy..
    I didn't even want them to lower the balance, just the interest back to my rate before I lost my job. They wouldn't even do that, so now none of the filthy bloodsuckers is getting anything else from me.
    I didn't even hire a bloodsucking lawyer that wanted to charge me $2000 to file for bankruptcy. I filed on my own back in January and am already discharged..
