Some years ago in my finance class, the instructor said that is one of the worst mistakes that can be made. It impacts your credit score almost as bad as a bankruptcy. When you consolidate, it look like you have more debt to income ratio. I would suggest you talk to your creditors directly (most of them are willing to work with you for a small monthly payment too), see if you can work out something and save a little money or the consolidation process. You may be able to pay off some of the smaller debts faster than you think. Remember not to agree to a payment you cannot afford, you tell them how much you are willing to pay...most are willing to accept that. Whatever you decide, make sure you do what is comfortable for you. Hope it works out for you and congrats on your journey to financial freedom!!!

I sent you a private msg about our consolidation experience. Be careful who you get to consolidate!!!

I consolidated all of my federal loans through Direct Loans. Then I consolidated all of my private loans through CFS. Call the customer service on your Direct Loans and see if they can help tell you which of your loans is eligible to consolidate through them. Good luck!

  1. ANGRY!!!! My jenakers account is missing my ENTIRE journal from my high risk pregnancy and my letthisonestick account for my 7 month old is completely gone along with my journal. I AM SICK OVER IT!
  2. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  3. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  4. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  5. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  6. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  7. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  8. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  9. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  10. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
