This month I’ll make my last payment to Discover Card. It’s been five years since I began trying to repay all of my defaulted credit card debt. It’s been a long journey that has finally come to an end. I created DebtPrison.net to provide honest information to consumers and it seems to have helped many people. Last year this blog provided information for 200,000 visitors. Though I like to see folks pay off their debts… it’s always bothered me to see collection agencies lie to debtors about their rights. I hope this website has provided some clarity to the public.
