The advice you will get here is just what you said: do it yourself. Stay away from debt settlement or debt consolidation companies. They are expensive scams that don't do anything for you that you can't do on your own for free.Steve

1. Forgiven debt can count as income. They lent you money and you aren't repaying it. Therefore, you got to keep the money. That is income.
