If you have a good news debt relief industry story that you’d like to share as a guest post, I’m looking to publish some.

I’m most interested in stories that talk about how a specific case study about how a consumer was helped or some new tool or technique that you’d like to share to help consumers in financial trouble.

Maybe you have an idea you’d like to submit for an open discussion on the site or talk about where you’d like to see the debt relief industry move in the future.

Most money news tells you what happened. I tell you what to do about it.

Before You Sign Anything: Run any debt relief contract through the free Contract Decoder to spot hidden fees and unfair terms. Check the company’s complaint history with the Scam-O-Meter.

Compare Your Real Options: Most debt relief companies won’t tell you about all your options — especially the ones they can’t profit from. Credit counseling has a 21-27% completion rate. Settlement resolves about 1% of enrolled debts fully. Bankruptcy has a 95% discharge rate — and protects your retirement.
