QUERY: I'm working with CBS News to write an informative article about signs your credit card debt is overwhelming you.

I need US-based experts (e.g. debt management specialists, certified financial planners, credit counselors, etc.) to share unique insights.

Please don't message to pitch sources — if this is up, I'm still accepting pitches. I'm looking for helpful answers I can incorporate right away as we're on a tight deadline.

To be considered, please answer the following questions (all or the ones you can answer):

1. What are the top 3 warning signs that indicate someone's credit card debt has become overwhelming rather than just challenging to manage?

2. How do compounding interest and minimum payments contribute to credit card debt becoming unmanageable? At what point should consumers recognize this as a serious problem?

3. Beyond missed payments, what subtle behavioral or financial indicators suggest someone is being overwhelmed by their credit card debt?

4. What specific debt relief programs have you found most effective for clients with overwhelming credit card debt, and why? Here, sharing examples of specific types of clients for each debt relief program you recommend would be helpful.

5. How can consumers determine which debt relief option is most appropriate for their specific situation?

6. What long-term financial impacts should people be aware of when considering different debt relief strategies for credit card debt?

7. What's one piece of advice you consistently give to clients who are showing signs of being overwhelmed by credit card debt but haven't yet taken action?

Finally, please provide:

1) your role/title, a link to your LinkedIn profile, and company website

2) a good email to follow up if needed (MUST be the source’s email if you are a PR company/rep)

IMPORTANT: We can’t accept/use AI-written responses, or responses you’ve already submitted elsewhere (we WILL check so please don’t waste anyone’s time). Also, I’m not looking for surface-level information easily found online. These questions are meant more as a guide to get more nuanced, in-depth expertise from you :) Please share relevant common hypothetical scenarios or client experiences to back up answers.

Thanks!
