BALTIMORE, April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, one of America's leading credit and debt management experts, Clarky Davis, The Debt Diva, and CareOne Services, Inc. announce The Debt Diva's Great Money Makeover Contest, a nationwide quest to find Americans most in need of a Money Makeover.  The contest has three life stage categories to enter and one winner will be selected from each to receive a financial "makeover" consisting of one-on-one consultations with The Debt Diva, monthly consultations and a twelve-month debt relief strategy with The Debt Diva and her team.

"Once the poster child for poor financial choices, I found myself in deep credit card debt," said Clarky Davis, The Debt Diva.  "Yet with hard work and discipline, I learned to live a life I love within my means while paying down my debt.  Today, I have great pride in launching The Debt Diva's Great Money Makeover Contest to offer support and solutions to those most in financial need."

The Debt Diva's Great Money Makeover Contest has three categories for submissions reflecting different life stages:

• Going it Alone (singles in debt)
• Finance Family Style (couples or parent(s) raising children)
• Boomers Going Bust (50+ years old)

Entrants in each of the three categories must be over 21 years of age and $5,000+ in debt.  Contest submissions - video and written - must be made at www.DebtDivaMakeover.com between April 21, 2010 and June 15, 2010.  Three finalists from each of the three categories will be selected on June 30, 2010, by The Debt Diva and her team at CareOne.  America will then serve as the judges, selecting the grand prize winner from each category by entering their votes at www.TheDebtDiva.com.  One winner from each category will be announced on July 28, 2010 and embark on The Debt Diva's Great Money Makeover.

"Although the economy is beginning to turnaround, it will take many Americans years, maybe even decades to dig out of the debt they have accumulated during tough times," said Clarky Davis, The Debt Diva.  "The contest is a great opportunity to share the educational tools with consumers that will not only enhance their financial literacy, but also allow them to implement necessary lifestyle changes for long-term financial wellness."
