Thanks. With the economy the way it is right now with all the layoffs and more to come; government spending and deficit out of control; the continued housing slump; one wonders where to turn for help. It sure is nice to know that there are debt management companies out there that can help folks avoid bankruptcy and still keep their heads above water.

I saw your site last week, bookmarked it and made sure to come back this morning bright and early! <br/><br/>I have one question for you if you could answer it either on here or in email or comment on my site. I'll check back later to see if you get around to it.<br/><br/>Take the Dove deal for instance. I think it's buy $15.00 and get $5.00 ecb's? If I use coupons does that deduct from my amount or is it the total of Dove products bought before my manufacturer coupons? <br/><br/>I stopped myself from getting makeup last week, even though I had coupons. I was afraid I'd just have to keep buying and buying if I used coupons because it would keep deducting from the total. Although, it still would have been worth it. I can’t wait to do this today.
