    Smile Credit Counseling

    I'm new here. But one thing I've noticed is several ads for
    Credit Councelling ( sp ? ) . Just by coincidence, prior to
    coming here I was looking up this subject online and learned
    that all is not what it may seem to be with these outfits. It
    can really be a VERY BAD IDEA. I would highly recommend that
    you do your own online research BEFORE you get in bed with ANY
    of theses "SERVICES". It's truly a case of Buyer Beware !

    Just a word to the wise.

    We went to a non for progit credit counseler. She was good and helpful but basicly said there was nothing she could do to help. We don't really have alot of debt. Car and CC 1,200 but we just don't have enough coming in to make it work.

    I agree though that I would check into them before you go.

    I don't believe Frugal Village has a say over what ads are shown. It's a random thing.
