Tim Wilkins of Affordable Debt Consolidation joined Studio 512 co-host Stephanie Gilbert to talk about debt and how some programs can help.
“Many Texans have suffered financially from the pandemic and are now grappling with crushing credit card debt and personal loans. Sometimes it can seem impossible to pay off the debt because of the high interest. Others are struggling to make minimum payments or have fallen behind in payments. For those who have missed payments for several months, many lenders are suing the Texans in an attempt to collect the debt. “

“There are many out-of-state debt relief companies that advertise on the Internet and on cable TV. Unfortunately, many Texans find themselves with high fees and broken promises. Affordable Debt Consolidation is a registered DBA of Debt Redemption Inc., a Texas-based company dedicated solely to providing solutions to Texans who are struggling with tens of thousands of credit card or personal loan debt.
