While surfing the internet this afternoon, I remember that a friend of mine has told me that he is in dire straits financially. Well, frankly, I am sick of people pouring their financial problems on me. I have the same problems to take care of and I do not need to share their problems and burden too.
However, I recall visiting a website not too long ago which has pointers on seeking Debt Relief. I thought I should let the friend read all about it and see how best he can apply the tips on his own situation.
The first step I advised him though, is to get Credit Card Consolidation. I know he holds numerous credit cards and I never saw the point of it. His excuse was that he applied for them to help his friends meet the quota of selling credit cards.
I am all for helping friends out but not to the point of getting myself into trouble too. When he holds so many cards, at the back of his mind, he is thinking that whatever purchases he has charged on his cards does not have to be taken care of. Hah! If only that was true!
Well, the information is already present to him and if he wants to get rid of debt fast, he should follow the advice given to him.
