Date: 2011-01-17 02:46 pm (UTC)We went through CCCS here in the US to take care of our debt (from taxes and a business we used to have) years ago and we paid off $25K in 4.5 years. It was the best financial decision we made to go with CCCS. We were able to buy our house debt free when we were finished with CCCS. The only thing we have now is our mortgage and our van payment (which will be done in June).
