Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) September 22, 2008
Budgeting, credit card debts, and trying to slowly build savings can be frustrating and stressful for many consumers. With the launch of MyCareOne (http://mycareone. careonecredit. com), providers of CareOne Credit Counseling Services aim to empower users with free financial tools and expert advice to find debt relief inspiration, start a savings plan, monitor their debt management program, and more.
The MyCareOne tools engage consumers in an easily-customized environment where they can move, add, or delete homepage features (called "gadgets") to access an assortment of financial planning resources tailored to their individual needs. Current gadgets available on the MyCareOne platform include a savings planner, a collection of debt management success stories, financial advice from the company's own Debt Diva, and access to the Straight Talk (http://community. careonecredit. com) community where they can discuss debt management, budgeting, and other personal finance issues with those facing similar situations and hurdles.
"Getting out from under debt or finally being able to save for that car, college education, or trip you've always wanted to take really are achievable goals," says CareOne Credit Counseling Services (http://www. careonecredit. com) Spokesperson Clarky Davis. "MyCareOne is designed to help consumers do just that, offering cutting-edge online tools allowing them to interact with like-minded people, access debt management plans and repayment details, and stay on top of the latest money saving tips from our own financial experts."
