If you use credit card counseling services to pay off debt how does this affect your credit?

[Edit]

Answer

Typically when you use credit counseling services there has been damage done to your credit already. It affects your credit, but not as bad as if you are paying late all the time and struggling. Typically they help you settle your accounts and sometimes this "settling" l;owers your credit score.
