Taking the plunge!

Hi...I'm new to the boards, and I wanted to just share that after reading through the info on the forums, I've come to the conclusion that I can do this!

 

My fiance and I both have poor credit, and I had obtained the services of a bankruptcy attorney and was working on the documents to file.  But in seeing that there are many steps I can take to repair my credit, I'd much rather do this myself and get these accounts paid up and current so we can get on with life and try for a house in a year or so, hopefully.

 

Thanks for reading!
