unsecured credit cards or loans. They do not work with secured loans, and this includes loans such as mortgages. They will look at how much you owe in order to set up a payment plan that suits your needs. They will also set up a budget for you. If you are on the verge of losing your home, they can provide advice for how to contact your lenders to request more time for making your payments. If the credit counseling service is able to negotiate with your lenders, you will need to set up a budget in order to make your payments. Under these circumstances credit counseling services can be a great resource to help you. However, if they are not able to negotiate with your lenders, and it seems there is nothing you can do to catch up with your payments, it may be time to consider filing for debt consolidation or bankruptcy. The first thing a credit counseling service will do is analyze your financial situation. They will then attempt to get your lenders to lower the interest rates. They will help you manage your debt, and you may have to pay them money that they will apply towards paying off the loans you have. These services make their money by charging fees for helping clients and helping creditors by setting up payment plans that allow the consumers to make payments. Many lenders will pay fees to credit counseling services who assist them. When you are looking for a credit counseling service, there are certain things you should look for to make sure they are honest. Any service which charges high fees up front are often more concerned with making money than with helping you manage your debt. You should also be wary of companies that make outrageous promises. Any service that makes such claims is often fraudulent. If they make claims saying that their services will have no effect on your credit rating, this should be a cause for concern. If the credit counseling service is helping your manage your debt, they should be able to make payments in a timely manner. The best way to choose a credit counseling service is to look for institutions that are listed in the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. If they are not listed, they may be a fly by night operation, something you will want to avoid. While the chances of an accredited institution defrauding you is low, you should still research them to make sure there are no problems. Being in a financial strain is hard enough as it is. You don't want to use a credit counseling service which will add insult to injury
piece
is
an
abstract
triptych
that
I
found
while
I
was
in
Atlanta
buying
religious
paintings
The
piece
was
called
Guardian
Angel
and
I
love
it
My
patrons
fell
in
love
with
it
as
well
They
have
asked
me
to
track
down
the
artist
and
see
if
he
has
anymore
religious
paintings
available
The
only
religious
paintings
that
I
actually
do
not
buy
are
ones
that
reflect
the
image
of
Jesus
on
the
cross
I
don’t
have
a
problem
with
them
some
of
them
are
extremely
well
done
and
would
more

sell
well

my
