It seemed as if debt management would never be part of my life. I laid awake at night wondering what I should do and, all of a sudden I got an email from some debt management programs that seemed valid. I chose one immediately without really investigating how they operate. The man said I would be out of debt in a year and that all he needed up front was $1,000. It didn't seem like that much money, especially since I owed over $40,000 in unsecured debt. I immediately borrowed some money from my neighbor and signed up for his debt management solution. As time dragged on, I realized that I wasn't paying down my debt at all. The creditors kept calling and demanding payment. Come to find out, my money was wasted, the phone number to the Christian debt management company was disconnected and I lost my close neighbor as a friend."
