About Us

Over the last several years I have started seeing ads related to Christian Debt Consolidation. It piqued my interest, for several reasons: first and foremost probably because we have been working to get rid of credit card debt, but also because we are practicing Christians and wondered what this business slant on Debt consolidation really meant.

What exactly does the phrase Christian Debt Consolidation really mean is really one of my fundamental questions in starting this site. I would assume (or rather would like to assume) that this means that the companies are going to act in an upright and ethical manner in their dealings, but outside of that I don't know exactly what they're trying to communicate with these services. There is no foundation in scripture for a plan of consolidating debt, so it's not as if they've found some set of instructions in the New Testament on how to get people out of debt.

Still it is interesting, because they are really going to be under the microscope (or so you would think) because they're going out on a limb promising Christian Debt Consolidation. (Why don't we see Muslim Debt Consolidation, or Jewish Debt Consolidation offers??? For that matter, why not Baptist Debt Consolidation (or at least Protestant and Catholic Debt Consolidation.)) My suspicion is at first that it's simply a marketing ploy and nothing more.

This is a sad realization perhaps rooted in some cynicism. So, I wanted to create this site to explore the companies that are offering Christian Debt Consolidation, their services, what makes them special and whether they seem to be ethical in their dealings with both their customers and the other businesses they deal with. It should go without saying, but I can only give reviews based on what I am able to publicly ascertain about these businesses and my comments are meant in no way to be a final judgement on them. I just thought it would be an interesting analysis and I think others might find it useful and interesting as well.

That much said, I suppose I may poke a few hornets nests as I take a look at the companies offering Christian Debt Consolidation, but.... we'll let the chips fall where they may. Be sure to visit back for more.
