A reputable credit repair counselor will advise you of your rights as a consumer, disclose the fees for their services in writing, and outline what will be happening during the time they will be working for you. If they seem to be making outlandish promises that seem too good to be true, don’t hire them and keep looking. A good credit repair counselor can be a great help toward making you more financially solvent and less stressed about your debts.

For recent grads who have tons o' student loans, no job, spend a lot on movies and restaurants, and are planning big, overseas trips:

The @alphaconsumer says: "Try to predict whether you will carry a balance."

"Sometimes recent grads ring up a bit of debt as they launch their new lives, travel often, and have relatively large entertainment expenses", she @twittered @botoxblondly.
