Consolidating Credit Card Debt March 31st, 2010

admin



Among the advantages of credit cards is their convenience. It is however far to easy to be quickly overwhelmed buy credit card debt and can be extremely difficult to get out of again. One way that is commonly used as a starting point for getting out of debt is consolidating credit card debt.

If you are one of the many people struggling with credit card debt the following information could prove helpful to you.

Now, the trick to using credit cards responsibly is avoiding unnecessary spending. Just because you have a credit card does not mean you should use it frivolously. Buying what you want when you want without considering the consequences will pretty much guarantee excessive debt. A credit card should only be used when necessary and of course even then, only if you can pay it back right away.

If however you are already in serious debt with your cards, the first thing you have got to do is stop using them. Maybe you think you’re already so deep in the hole that continuing to charge on your accounts couldn’t possibly make things worse, this is 100% wrong. It’s the worst thing you can do.

To get control of the situation, stop using them cards. Then figure out how much you owe altogether. Now begin paying more than the minimum required payment. Try to overpay as much as possible. A credit card will NEVER be paid off if you only pay the minimum required.

This gives your creditors the impression you really do want to pay your bill. It shows you’re not only willing to pay, but that you intend to pay it in full. Pay more and pay on time. If you do this the interest will stay low and your debt will begin to shrink. It can be difficult to do this with multiple accounts however, if that’s your situation, a debt consolidation or balance transfer may be the option for you.

Another thing to avoid is offers that give you the option for skipping payments or having your minimums reduced to zero. These are just ploys by the credit card companies to get you even more deeply in debt.

If you do your research, stay positive, and bear in mind what you’ve learned in the process, you can get out of debt. Be disciplined and responsible and you’ll be on your way.

Credit Cards Solutions – What a Debt Consolidation Company Can Do For You? Is it Really For You? March 30th, 2010

admin



The credit card industry is approaching the bottom the financial hole. Many of the credit card companies are going out of business. The crash of the housing market, followed by the economic recession, created the circumstances for the unsecured credit collapse. New businesses are getting started around this crisis. Those are “debt consolidation” and “debt elimination” companies. They both feed on the paralyzed credit card industry. Those “debt consolidation” businesses are in some kind of symbiosis with the credit card lenders.

When you talk to your lender about your financial hardship and ask for help, they refer you to a non-profit company (those are the debt consolidation companies, masked as a lamb). Non-profit sounds very noble. You go for it and put your life in their hands. They offer financial education, debt counseling and debt management. You have heard it all, but you hope for something extraordinary.

What actually happens when you sign up for this “consolidation” services? Here it is:

1. You provide a list of all of you credit cards and balances.
2. They talk to each credit card and lower you interest rate (less than 10%, but never 0%).
3. They tell you how much your new consolidated monthly payment will be.
4. You pay additional fee for the service (about $50 monthly).
5. You cannot miss a payment, because you will be dropped out of the program.
6. You cannot use the credit cards anymore – they are considered closed.
7. You end up talking to all of your credit cards and on top of it, with the new middleman.
8. When a credit card is paid off, the funds should be directed to another card. It doesn’t happen the right way if you don’t keep a close eye on the process.
9. Sometimes they can miss a payment on a credit card (it happened to me). The credit card lender still calls you.
10. Sometimes they can make a payment even if the credit card has been paid off!
11. Your lenders continue sending the statements to you. You have to forward those statements to your middleman to keep them up to date.
12. You end up with more paperwork and less results. The difference is that you pay for the newly created mess $50 every month.
13. They cannot lower your balances.
14. You have to be happy. If you are not happy and drop out of the program, you will be punished by all of your lenders. The interest rates will skyrocket up to 30% (I had one with 32.99%). You cannot prove that they did not do a good job. It is always your fault.

What will happen if you decide to use your own services? I assume that you can write checks and not rely on someone else to do it for you.
1. If you miss a few payments, your lender will offer the same program to you (even better – you can easily negotiate a zero percent interest rate).
2. You are in control and know where your money goes.
3. You save money and develop a self-confidence. You can take charge of your own financial affairs.

I really cannot comprehend why those debt consolidation companies exist. They do not do anything for you. On the contrary – they create more damage and chaos. Their product is a promise of “bright financial future”. The result is a big disappointment.

The best way to solve your debt is a settlement. And yes, you can do it yourself. Expect another article about this matter.
