The Basics – Credit Card Debt Consolidation

Debt Consolidation

You have many different options when it comes to unsecured debt consolidation. This is the type of debt that does not have property attached to it. This is unsecured because it is not a loan against an automobile or against a home. This type of debt is easier to settle and can in many cases be done for a reduced amount of what you owe. Here are your options for debt consolidation.

The reasons debt consolidation services have sprung into existence is that with the challenges in the economy like unemployment and the prices of so many of life’s necessities going higher and higher, many people are spreading their debt over many cards. The result is that an average person might have three or more cards with high debt run up on each of them. Because of this the interest fees being charged on a monthly basis by the credit card companies can get quite high and spiral out of control.

The first point of credit card debt consolidation is to get all of your debt into one master account. Then, as soon as you can, get rid of the credit cards, then close the credit card accounts entirely and try to get a reasonable interest rate on the master  account and you can deal with this one account over time.

One tactic that is often used to move your debt to lower rate interest loans is to use 0% offers from credit card companies. That is fine, but be careful with those because sometimes there are hidden transfer fees that can be as high as interest payments.

If you can move several thousand dollars to a zero percent loan for six months, then do so, but make sure you work on paying off higher interest cards.

Be sure and read the small print on the 0% credit card contract because at the end of your “free” period the interest rate on that new card account can oftentimes be higher than any of your other credit card interest rates.

Last, the best option is a debt service that will work with you as long as you have over $10,000 in unsecured debt. They will negotiate with all your creditors for reduced balances, payments, interest rates, and waived fees.

Then, they will combine all your creditors into one monthly payment that fits your budget along with their fee. This will be paid to them monthly and they will split it up for you and pay all your creditors. You can be debt free in less than 36 months with this option.
