this is my situation.Im 27 and I've accumulaterd about $15,000 (this includes late fees & finance charges) on 5 different cards,all credit cards. I could never afford to pay anything because of my low paying job.

Now I am getting paid more, so I can put aside a few hundred dollars a month to start paying them off but since there with different agencies i feel this might be difficult.

All these debts are now with collection agencies, its been exactly 2 years since I made my last payments on the credit cards, so they've been with the CA for about 1 year and a half. What is the best way for me to work this out? should i go to credit counseling and have them try to reduce my debt and be able to make one payment each month? should I try to contact the collection agencies and work with them? or perhaps contacting the credit card companies themselves and see if i can settle that way?

Thanks for in advance.

Why are commercials always allowed to lie.
For example: This DVD is the #1 movie in America

How is the #1 movie in America determined
and if there is a way, why is every movie #1?

If you are going to say it is protected under freedom of speech or freedom of the press, it can't be. If they are lies, it is slander, which is not protected under the first amendment, or any amendment for that matter.

Its not like they're opinions either. If they were they would say "We think the movie is the #1 movie in America"

So how are they allowed to do that?

This is for actual store owners/merchants. I am trying to get a better feel for what a good deal is for Credit Card transactions and with companies like PayPal and others offering the service for between 1.9% (over $1 mill) to 3% (0-$1000), I need to know if that is a good deal.

for example i was approached by a realestate investor that I could also become a partner in his company,by being a credit investor on properties he finds and then deed the properties back over to him after closing. He agree to pay 10 to 20,000 or more depending on equity in property to me and the rest to him. and I keep my portion because it is in my name and give him the rest per contract. Is this safe. what are the pro and cons of this?
