Hello all....debtors anonymous ?

Hi all,
I wanted to know if any of you go to debtors anonymous meetings. If so, do you like them and how are they structured? I found one in my area and I am thinking about attending it next Tuesday. Thanks. Pat

>>>No I don't go to any; didn't even know they existed. I've thought about going to financial couseling and I know it would benefit me...<<<
If you receive financial counselling and they negotiate a better interest rate or payment for you, PLEASE ASK if this will reflect on your credit report. I know where I live, this is reported to the credit bureau.

We are military so we can go to financial counseling on post to help soldiers and their families budget better. I think its more of a teaching tool as to how to handle your money. I really wouldn't know since I've never gone but this is what I get from what I've read about it so far. Some soldiers, like my dh, can't afford bad credit in the military cause it will affect their career so they want to help them from getting into that type of situation. I don't know if the actual term on post is financial couseling but that is what popped in my head when I read her post. :)
Well, I don't think it's that kind of financial counseling but thanks for the tip.

****If a soldier is active, the Soldiers and Sailors act, should apply.
. You should check
out this option if you have not already done so.
I think that even the best planners need some type of budgeting
information so the whole world can swear off credit cards. Wouldn't
that be a perfect world :)
Besides not all of our debt is in his name so that wouldn't help us out anyway.
