Accounts will still show on your credit reports for about 5-7 years but will reflect paid in full with no balance due. Once you are done with the program you should take help of a credit repair firm such as http://www.lexingtonlaw.com
they will help with speeding up the process of getting these accounts deleted off of your profile.

I’m joining the army, and I’ve got about 4k in debt (mostly old hospital bills)… I was wondering if the army, or even the armed forces bank, offers any type of debt consolidation loan so that I can get this paid off easier? My credit isn’t the best… but on the other hand, I’ll be in the army, so it’s not like I won’t have a job to pay the loan back with…

I have heard that this is not a good thing, or that lenders do not like to see this. I am sure it does not impact my score though. Someone please set the record straight.

get a loan after a debt consolidation? Does it depend on the amount of debt or ?

Ive been looking into debt consolidation and, is there a difference between debt consolidation, and a debt consolidation loan? and if so what?

I was wondering how much does it cost to pay a debt consolidation company to help you, because I want to know if it’s worth it. I’m in so much debt making barely and I don’t know what else to do. On payday I usually just have 100-200 dollars to myself because the rest goes to my bills.
