What would be a fair price to pay for help getting out debt? Obviously I do not have a very good handle on finances or I would not be asking this question in the first place but what is an appropriate amount of money to be charged for debt consolidation. I know now that I can not do this on my own. I have tried up until this point and I just keep getting more and more in debt. I am ready to work with the professionals but I want to try to make an educated decision on where I turn.
