Debt Counseling Services

There is not only a shortage of money these days, there’s a shortage of good debt counseling services. Of course, you see plenty of TV and online ads which makes the average consumer think there are plenty around, and there are. But not all of them are bona fide or knowledgeable.

The current economy has spawned debt counseling services in such a rapid way, but there are many known abuses. This is a trend not just relegated to the credit debt industry, and is something that is often seen in fast growing sectors. Since recent bankruptcy laws require that a consumer go through a Credit Counseling program prior to a declaration of insolvency, the IRS has begun a crackdown on services that are questionable. This creates something of a shortage, but it has also increased the fly by night services that they haven’t caught yet.

Consumers should also understand that there is no federal regulation on debt counseling services, and only 17 of the 50 states even regulate them. There is no real way to track companies, and it makes finding a good one a real needle in a haystack search for many people, who need one. Consumers can do online research on a company, and generally the search can be very telling for either very positive or very negatives experiences by other consumers.

It is wise to be wary of any debt counseling service who widely advertises on television or sends out spam. Or at least, investigate articles about them prior to inquiring for more information from them. Check accreditations such as the National Foundation of Credit Counseling, which sets up strict guideline for its members.

Debt counseling services who claim they can wipe out debt are some of the most dangerous, because it simply can’t be done. If a consumer considers that even bankruptcy may not erase all debt, then it is ill-informed to think that it can be done another way. Debts are debts and they are on the books of creditors. It may be that they can be negotiated to a lesser amount, but it is rare that they can just magically disappear.

For the consumer who truly needs debt counseling services, it isn’t as easy as picking up a phone and using the first one in the phone book. It takes a certain amount of diligence and time to interview and research companies, but doing that also ensures that a good solution can be found and a safe one.

The Debt $12.99 The national bestseller by the author of Defending the Spirit . In this powerful and controversial book, distinguished African-American political leader and thinker Randall Robinson argues for the restoration of the rich history that slavery and segregation severed. Drawing from research and personal experience, he shows that only by reclaiming their lost past and proud heritage can blacks lay the foundation for their future. And white Americans can make reparations for slavery and the century of racial discrimination that followed with monetary restitution, educational programs, and the kinds of equal opportunities that will ensure the social and economic success of all its citizens. In a book that is both an unflinching indictment of past wrongs and an impassioned call to our nation to educate all Americans about the history of Africa and its people, Robinson makes a persuasive case for the debt white America owes blacks, and the debt blacks owe themselves.

Hamilton’s Blessing: The Extraordinary Life and Times of Our National Debt: Revised Edition $2.99 Our national debt is now so high that most of us have stopped thinking about it, because the prospect of bringing it under control is unimaginable. We consider it a national liability and fear our children will be forced to pay for our current excesses. John Steele Gordon is a welcome antidote. In 1997, his book, Hamilton’s Blessing, offered a “biography” of the debt, making it very much a human drama while explaining the myriad, mostly positive, ways it has influenced America’s history since Alexander Hamilton first proposed the virtues of a national debt in 1792. However, the 12 years since the book’s initial publication have been perhaps the most dramatic in the debt’s history, since it has more than doubled and continues on an ever-upward spiral. Now, more than ever, we need John Steele Gordon’s wisdom: his revised and expanded edition of Hamilton’s Blessing will put this historic expansion in perspective, allowing us to better participate in debate and discussion. Bringing a remarkable national institution to life, Gordon offers, in the process, an original view of American history, and insight into both well- and lesser-known figures who have influenced and charted our voyage, from Hamilton to Jay Cooke to John Maynard Keynes to the present. The national debt helped rescue the Union during the Civil War and raise the nation out of the Depression, thus offering hope it may serve a similar purpose in the decades to come.

Developing Country Debt and the World Economy $25 For dozens of developing countries, the financial upheavals of the 1980s have set back economic development by a decade or more. Poverty in those countries have intensified as they struggle under the burden of an enormous external debt. In 1988, more than six years after the onset of the crisis, almost all the debtor countries were still unable to borrow in the international capital markets on normal terms. Moreover, the world financial system has been disrupted by the prospect of widespread defaults on those debts. Because of the urgency of the present crisis, and because similar crises have recurred intermittently for at least 175 years, it is important to understand the fundamental features of the international macroeconomy and global financial markets that have contributed to this repeated instability. Developing Country Debt and the World Economy contains nontechnical versions of papers prepared under the auspices of the project on developing country debt, sponsored by the National Bureau of Economic Research. The project focuses on the middle-income developing countries, particularly those in Latin America and East Asia, although many lessons of the study should apply as well to other, poorer debtor countries. The contributors analyze the crisis from two perspectives, that of the international financial system as a whole and that of individual debtor countries. Studies of eight countries—Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, the Philippines, South Korea, and Turkey—explore the question of why some countries succumbed to serious financial crises while other did not. Each study was prepared by a team of two authors—a U.S.-based research and an economist from the country under study. An additional eight papers approach the problem of developing country debt from a global or "systemic" perspective. The topics they cover include the history of international sovereign lending and previous debt crises, the political factors that cont
