Answer by SlimMick
Unfortunately no….CashCall (as you probably already know) is a vicious firm to deal with. They do not participate in any debt management programs.Note: As long as CashCall still has your bank account numbers, they will attempt to debit your account even if there is not sufficient money in there…leading to even worse problems in the make of bounced check and bank fees. If they still have direct access to your bank am, you might want to think about canceling your checking account to precluding this from happening.

Trustee in Bankruptcy John Adamson Reports Southwestern Ontario Still in Recession

Trustee in Bankruptcy John Adamson Reports Southwestern Ontario Still in Recession
St Thomas, Ontario (PRWEB) November 12, 2011
Although growth has slowed and Canada no longer leads the world coming out of recession, when Canada’s Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty met with a group of prominent private-sector economists in Ottawa late in October, they told him that they predicted that the modest economic growth Canada has experienced since 2009 will continue and that unless there was a “dramatic shock” in Europe, Canada will remain out of recession. According to John Adamson of Adamson & Associates Inc. (http://www.adamsontrustee.com), a licensed trustee in Bankruptcy, Chartered Insolvency and Restructuring Practitioner (CIRP) and Accountant (CMA), even though Canada as a whole may be recovering from recession, particularly hard hit regions, like Southwestern Ontario, may in fact still be in recession.
“Even though our politicians hold saying that we are away of recession, I have been saying that Southwestern Ontario ne’er truly came away of recession. Maybe some places in Canada did, but not here,” says Adamson. “On September 15. 2011, when the Ford Motor Company closed the doors to the St Thomas assembly plant for full, they eliminated over 1,000 unmediated jobs in a town that had yet to regain from the closure of several other plants before the 2008 recession. The loss of 1,000 good-paying jobs is a desolating blow to Southwestern Ontario because, as economists keep, one full car assembly plant job supports about 7.5 other jobs elsewhere in the economy. So in fact, the existent number of jobs that Southwestern Ontario lost or will lose as a result of the Ford assembly plant folding, is closer to 8,500 when you comprise the extra 7,500 area jobs that were eliminated as a result of the St Thomas Assembly Plant closure.”
Canada’s whole economic recovery has slowed as Statistics Canada’s latest economic data reveals that Canada lost 54,000 jobs in October, nudging the interior jobless rate from 7.1% to 7.3%. While the unemployment rate in London – St. Thomas is only a few percentages higher than the internal average, at 9.2% in October, up from 9% in September, the numbers don’t reveal the true situation in Southwestern Ontario according to John Adamson. “Since the Ford workers received severance and termination packages, they do not yet qualify for EI benefits and therefore are not part of the unemployed come report. Combine this with the number of people who have opted for early retirement because they now find themselves unemployable due to age, and the real number of unemployed increases even more. As well, it has to be remembered that most of those who have been able to find work have had to settle for replacement jobs with reef pay,” says Adamson.
“We see the effects of recession and unemployment in our offices every day. People are suffering. The number of families in Southwestern Ontario who are struggling with unpaid bills and mounting debt due to unemployment, or under employment is growing. There is an increase in people who just can’t weather the financial storm any longer, resulting in more people seeking credit counseling, filing for bankruptcy, and filing consumer proposals and Division 1 proposals. Unfortunately, many people here will continue to experience financial challenges and, if many of the economists are correct that the Canadian housing sector is due for a correction, combined with an end to the government stimulus spending, Southwestern Ontario’s jobless rate could easily reach double digits,” predicts Adamson.

Consolidating debt through consumer credit counseling services?
Posted by admin in Consumer Credit Counseling on February 16, 2012
Question by Holly C: Consolidating debt through consumer credit counseling services?
I have approximately $ 2000 of credit card debt that I absolutely need to get paid down. i talked to consumer attributing counseling services, a debt consolidation company, http://www.cccsstl.org/ and this is what i was told:Basically they would cut my payments down to about $ 130 a month total for 3 cards by getting my interest ratted lowered to between 6 and 10% approximately. I would pay it off in 2 years instead of 8 as i would now without consolidating. he said the $ 130 a month payment included a monthly fee of $ 49 directly to the attributing counseling service for their help and services. Is that the normal thing when consolidating? Is that legitamet? I would only be paying $ 80 or so a month on the actual credit card debt and that doesn’t seem like very much to me. Anyone have any knowledge in this area? Is consolidating a smart thing to do and does it hurt your credit in any way? Is there a smarter way to do it? LONG-sorry and thanks!

Run as fast as you can away from ‘credit counselors.’ It’s a business and they are there to make money not to save you money. You can do exactly the same thing they can do for you and you can apply the money they would rushing you to reducing your debt.My suggestion is to cut up all of your credit cards except for one for emergencies. Call the populate that you owe money to and see if their impute manager will help you by lowering the engaging rate or waiving some of the charges. If that doesn’t work and you can qualify for a corrected rate or reduced rate credit tease then yeah, go ahead and consolidate. But – don’t maintain that card. Cut it up. Use it sole for your outstanding debt. Cancel all the other cards. Enlist the help of a trusted friend or family member to be your mentor to get you unwrap of debt. Use them like an AA render. Whenever you feel the need to ‘charge’ call that friend and talk about the purchase you feel you asking to make. Talking it over will give you time to realize that you probably don’t need those new shoe or whatevers. Get a part time job and use the income from that job only for the debt reduction payments. Alternatives: If you own a home you can look at a home equity loan. The interest is generally tax deductible. You can consider asking a parent or grandparent for a loan but do sure you give them a note and repay it promptly if they grant you a loan. Most banks don’t offer ‘consolidation’ loans – and if they do then the interest rate will be close to credit card rates so it’s not that advantageous. $ 2,000.00 is not a small amount but it’s doable. Good for you for know that you need to pay it off. It’s a painful process but you can do it!

Will participating in Consumer Credit Counseling affect my credit score negatively in any way?

Question by Steven C: Will participating in Consumer Credit Counseling affect my credit score negatively in any way?
Best answer:
Answer by Toodeemo
Absolutely. Any time there is an accomodation or payment that settles or otherwise compromises the original terms and ocnditions of the contract of repayment, there is going to be a negative report. In theory, the creditor can not agree not to report negative information. Most CCC programs require you to be in default before they will accept you, and most repayment programs by definition intending you are paying while in default. The question is, will making the payments for a lower amount be good in the long clipping than just allowing the neglect to continue, become more serious, without payment. For most people, the CCC programs are the better choice. But not all.

President Obama Unveils Student Loan Debt Plan That Will Help Millions: Consolidated Credit Urges People to Use This Opportunity to Jump Start Their Personal Finances

President Obama Unveils Student Loan Debt Plan That Will Help Millions: Consolidated Credit Urges People to Use This Opportunity to Jump Start Their Personal Finances
Fort Lauderederdale, Fla (PRWEB) November 03, 2011
Obama revealed a new plan that would help millions of young populating struggling to make payments towards their student loan debt. The plan will speed up legislation passed by Congress last year and reduce the maximum needful monthly payment on student loans to 10 percent of discretional annual income, versus 15 percent originally required by law. In addition, student loan debt will be forgiven after 20 years instead of 25, for those make consist on time payments.
“We are urging people with student loans to use this opportunity as a means to jump start their financial situation. Start saving that 5 percent in a separate savings account or pay-off credit card debt that may have sky-rocket interest rates. This new measure may enable millions of Americans to get a hold of their personal finances and help them to get out the financial mess that many of them are in,” said Howard Dvorkin, CPA and founder the credit counseling agency Consolidated Credit Counseling Services, Inc.
Consolidated Credit experts advise people to consider the following strategies to make the most of the 5 percent savings:
Invest – Start investing 5 percent of monthly income in a 401K or a pension.
Pay-off high interest credit card debt first – For an individual who has a $ 1,000 credit card balance with a 14 percent interest rate who pays the minimum amount due each month ($ 22.00), it would take over 64 months to pay off and the creditor will make over $ 600.00 in interest. “If that doesn’t persuade people to pay off their richly interest credit card debt first – I don’t know what will. Student loan debt offers low interest rates, typically around 4 to 6.5 percent and people need to know how to prioritize their debts,” says Dvorkin.
Improve credit scores – Millions of Americans have low credit scores due to charged-off debts. Consolidated Credit advises consumers to use that extra 5 percent of yearly discretionary income to help pay-off or settle any charged-off debts. This will importantly improve their credit score and allow them to pay less interest in the future when they need to purchase a house or car.
Donate the 5 percent to a local homeless or animal shelter – Although millions of Americans are struggling to pay their student lending debt payments each month, even more individuals are struggling to keep a roof over their make or feed their families. By donating to a local non-benefiting shelter, you will be helping the local community and overall economy.

Yes, and it’s from the FTC. If you mean credit repair services, then the FTC says that they are all scams. They make suggestions on where to find logical companies and such. Just beware. You can’t find too many sources that will be as good as this paper for a honest rating.
