San Diego Bankruptcy Lawyers Offering Consultations to Growing Number of Consumers Unable to Pay Monthly Obligations

San Diego Bankruptcy Lawyers Offering Consultations to Growing Number of Consumers Unable to Pay Monthly Obligations
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) November 10, 2011
The San Diego bankruptcy attorneys at the law firm known as the Golden State Law Group hereby announce that the firm is providing free initial consultations for the growing number of American consumers who are unable to pay their monthly obligations according to a recent survey that was published by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. Troubled consumers are advised to contact the San Diego bankruptcy lawyers at the firm as soon as possible to have their financial situation reviewed.
According to the survey that was released by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, 28 percent of American consumers who were surveyed regarding several different financial questions admitted that they do not always pay their monthly obligations on time. Several reasons were offered by the consumers who answered this question in the affirmative, and the most common reason was that they simply lacked the funds to make these payments in a timely fashion.
The San Diego bankruptcy attorneys at the Golden State Law Group additionally advise consumers who are having trouble paying their monthly obligations that a regular failure to make these payments in a timely fashion could result in derogatory entries on their credit reports, lower credit scores and relentless collection efforts by the creditors who are not being paid on time. These developments could harm a consumer’s ability to obtain a loan in the future or perhaps to be hired for a job, which is why the firm is offering a free initial consultation to review possible strategies to avoid these results.

The Golden State Law Group is a law firm that’s comprised of San Diego bankruptcy lawyers who have helped consumers in financial trouble deal with bankruptcy issues that include Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases, Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases, tax debt issues, mortgage issues and San Diego car accident cases.

Consumer Credit Counseling Industry Grows
The emergence on consumer credit counseling over the past few decades is mainly due to the increasing number of Americans who continue to charge their way into unmanageable debt. This is not to say that there aren’t some families and individuals who have ended up in debt due to no fault of their own – whether it is due to high medical bills, illness, death or a change in family status. But most end up in debt because of charging too much on credit cards and store cards and buying things on credit that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford. At some point you just can’t keep up with even the minimum monthly payments, which in turn causes a huge amount of the debt to be just the interest owed.
For many individuals and families who find themselves in over their heads, bankruptcy can seem like the only answer. As a result of this consumer credit counseling organizations have emerged to try to deal with this growing problem by helping people manage their debts and make arrangements to get them out of debt. This is often the last step before bankruptcy.
In fact, recent bankruptcy laws have been introduced that require individuals to obtain consumer credit counseling before filing for bankruptcy in an effort to reduce the high cost of lawyers and court fees. Consumer Credit counseling is usually the best option because it allows to you manage and clear your debt without the negative impact of a bankruptcy on your credit report. Bankruptcies can stay on your credit file for up to 10 years and can seriously hinder your ability to obtain any type of credit or loan, and will bring down your credit score which can make it difficult for you to do anything from renting a house to getting a job that requires a security clearance. It can even affect your ability to open a bank account with an overdraft feature.
However, consumer credit counseling is not provided free of charge and not everyone can afford to obtain these services. Some are so deeply in debt that they can’t even afford help to get out of debt. But if you can go this route, you can get relief. Consumer credit counseling agencies can help you by getting your monthly payments reduced, getting interest rages reduced, getting over-limit charges and late charges waived and can help you consolidate all your payments into one payment to them. This will enable you to eliminate your debt entirely and clear your name, as well as rebuild your credit.

Why should US Finance&Credit system, now being nationalized,be allowed to continue to run on For-Profit basis?
Posted by admin in Current Events on November 24, 2009
As greedy middleman, have not the moneylenders and moneychangers been taking and increasingly larger cuts from both the producers and consumers & from the savers/investors & the borrowers?
Haven’t their fees & penalties gotten unreasonable? Their contracts too punitive and legalistic?
Isn’t the US F&C system just a support function for the efficient use of capital by producers and consumers? Should money be chasing real goods and services made by efficient producers and educated prudent consumers rather than money be chasing money for profit?
THX for info, but did you A my Q about the economic role of F&CS which has been turned into a P&L business beyond what was prudent?
If I may, w/o Answering my own Q, say this was in the back of of my mind when I asked the Q: IMO, Bankers, Lawyers, & Accountants, in their support roles, do not & should not be allowed to run the US/World economy into the ground.
