Credit Card Debt Relief Options
If you have high credit card debts, you're not alone. U.S families spend an average of 78% of income to some sort of debt repayment!
Credit card debt consolidation might seem like the first choice for getting yourself back on financial track.
When you choose to consolidate your debts, you are in effect choosing another loan with a (supposedly) lower interest rate. You then use that loan to provide you with credit card debt relief, and after paying those debts down you now have a single payment to make every month to your new loan.
But be very careful with this kind of debt relief solution! Many credit card debt consolidation loans have interest rates that are actually higher than what you're already paying and often have tricky clauses for bumping your interest rate even higher if your even one day late or miss a payment.
Even worse, the consolidation companies make things look very appealing by offering low monthly payments, but this often stretches your payments for even longer, so you end up paying even more interest to your new lender!
And what's the point of pursuing credit card debt relief if you only end up buried in new debt?
And then there's other means of credit card debt reduction that supposedly help you to pay down or consolidate credit card debt, like debt management plans.
Unfortunately, credit card debt management plans typically take many years to pay down - five to seven in most cases - and only reduce your interest. You still have to pay down the original amount of debt (the "principal") that you owe.
What does it mean to go with "debt settlement" and how does that work?
By choosing a debt settlement plan you can actually negotiate credit card debt down, get lowered monthly program payments, and be out of debt much sooner!
Here's how: when you opt for this type of credit card debt help, our debt arbitrators work on your behalf to negotiate a smaller total debt amount for you. Typically, your lenders may agree to an amount that is literally a fraction of what your balance is currently.
After all, it makes more sense for lenders to guaranteed payments from you now instead of the little bits and pieces of it over the next five to seven years or more.
So, with debt settlement, a lower overall amount is agreed upon and you pay only that amount--not the larger total of your debt, then those debts are satisfied.
