student, are you still in the program? I must have missed your comment, oh a year ago, when you commented – sorry about that.

We got out of the program in November 2007. But part of where your money goes is CareOne takes something like $30-35 and if you don’t opt out of it there’s a $5 discount services program or something.

Here’s our update: http://spoken-for.org/archives/2008/02/29/2100/

[...] was June of 2006 when I first posted that we were going to be using CareOne to try and get out of debt. I promised to keep updated but haven’t really done a good job [...]

I’m a student and I had 4 credit cards consolidated with careone. When I started, I owe one card around 1,500 and careone pays $60 for that card. It’s been a year and my last statement says I owe 1,300. So I’m not exactly sure where the rest of the money goes.

Well, I’m not going to discount them yet, and we’re going to stick with the program. I don’t guess it can be too bad, the creditors aren’t calling us… So, I guess I’m just going to hang in there for a while. There are people who have done well on this program, hopefully they’ll do the same for us.

Wow..
I was thinking of signing up with care one /freedom point to settle my debts. but doesnt look like its going to work – after reading your story.

I dunno wat to do as the credit card comapnies are charging sky high interest rates, that are killing me.

Er, I screwed up the numbers and the month (actually a credit of $56 something and no bill or short bill in October), but that’s the basic idea…
