You want to make sure that you check with the BBB to see if they are a legite company. I would recommend calling a company that I trust, and have worked for in the past called, "Alliance Credit Counseling, Inc'. Their phone number is 704-341-1010. They are a non-profit organization that can help, and assist you by enrolling you in a "Debt Management Program". These type of companies have contracts with certain creditors, and debtors; which allows you to pay your debt in a few years or less with as little as 5% interest, or as low as 0%. If you are left with this option, then this is a great way to get out of debt in a short period of time.

Your credit score - a number used to predict your likelihood of paying off debt - is generated from information in your credit report, but is not part of the report itself. You can get your credit score from the credit reporting agency Equifax by going to http://www.equifax.com/fico-credit-score/. Equifax will give you your score and a breakdown of what your score means, which is really helpful. Equifax has really good services. Never had a problem with them. Hope this helps!
