SO my wife was contacted by a debt consolidation company

I was told to stay away from these things.  I was basically told what they do for you, you can do for yourself.  The are telling her to pull her credit report and send it to them along with $200 a month and they will 'fix' her credit.  As she is telling me this i say hey give me $200 a month and your credit report and let me go to work Smiley Happy but seriously arent these companies a rip off?  or are they worth the money?

If you have to pay them on a monthly basis, how long will it take them to "fix" it? I don't think they are going to be in a hurry to do it in one month, or three, or six, or a year.  Meanwhile, you will have paid $200, $600, $1200, or $2400 -- and none of that goes to paying down the debt.  Keep your money, follow the suggestions on these forums, and DIY for free.  Good luck!
