You have to win the battle on sheer heart. en-us Sat, 26 Jul 2008 15:00:00 EDT Sat, 26 Jul 2008 15:00:00 EDT Weblog Editor 2.0 ... but the value of any debt reduction plan is its flexibility That's the bottom line. You cannot go into this line of work thinking that everything is go down just like you drew it up back at the ol' office. That is just plain foolhardy. Every thing that can go wrong will go wrong. So says Murphy's Law. And Murphy clearly knew what it was like to try to implement a debt reduction plan... at least that law of his would have you think that. You just cannot predict what is going to happen when the $hit hits the fan. One thing is for sure -- it is not gonna be pretty. As a detective in this field for more than 30 years, I have seen a debt reduction plan self-destruct in every conceivable way. BUT I ALWAYS FIND A WAY! The reason I am able to achieve success... ... is because I take a debt reduction plan a step at a time You can't go about it any other way. The thing you count on with your debt reduction plan one minute is shot the next. It is frustrating, no question about that. But you can't let it get you down if you care about the end result. The end justifies the means, and you gotta fly by the seat of your freaking pants. That's how we see it here at the Credit Card Debt Detective agency. This one time, not so long ago at all, I was hot on the trail of a company that was allegedly screwing our clients when things went terribly awry. Some of the goons at that company kidnapped me, roughed me up pretty good, blindfolded me, and threw me in a room with no mattress -- just the steel coils. It was not warm in there, either. Three days I slept on that thing while the bastards waited me out. Finally they came in and asked why I was asking questions about debt reduction, and who hired me to do that. Well, needless to say, my cover was blown. I had to tell them exactly what I was doing if I had any chance of walking out of there. But here's the thing. The goons listened and ultimately, reached a compromise with debt reduction services. My client saved 32 percent of what she originally owed, and the creditors got the rest of the money in record time. The point of all this? You can't give up on a debt reduction plan, even if you are starving, bruised and battered. Sat, 26 Jul 2008 15:00:00 EDT
