Credit Card Debt Consolidation services can make it happen, and there’s no doubt about it. There’s no reason to delay and nothing to lose. Credit card debt consolidation can also help you avoid creditor harassment , one of the main elements that trigger stress induced health problems. Credit card debt consolidation usually makes the combined balance more manageable especially if a lower interest rate is provided. But, if there are multiple other accounts involved that were not part of the consolidating effort, it may take some time to get them all reduced to a manageable level.
Typically, when a customer buys a product with his card or uses his card as an alternative for hard cash, he is offered an interest free credit period. The customer has to make a payment for the credit used on the card before the credit period ends. Typically, debt consolidation programs are debt repayment programs. They can consolidate most types of unsecured debts from major credit cards to personal and student loans. Typically the interest on a debt consolidation loan is approximately 17-23%. That?s a hefty amount of interest that may actually be more than you are currently paying on your debt.

Credit Card debt consolidation is a short term answer to a much broader problem. Credit card debt consolidation is an agenda where the debt settlement company directs the debtors in reducing their debts through a monthly compensation of a fixed amount. Debt elimination is not similar to a loan program. Credit card debt consolidation gives you an opportunity to reduce your debts under single lower monthly payments. Thus you get rid of all high rate credit card debts and replace them with the new low monthly payments.

@donniebrasco24 Yes that applies to about 94% of the people who have credit cards
Deliberately defaulting on your credit card debts as a tactic to settle for less is a dangerous game to play with your creditors…be careful. Their response might be to serve you a summons and take you to court instead of settling.
- There is no such thing as a credit card bailout regardless of what state you live in…
- If personal budgeting, making more money or advise from people like Suze Orman can't help you and you are still struggling with large amounts of credit card debt that you are having trouble paying back, then there are only two realistic options: Entering a Debt Management Plan or filing for Chapter 7.
Contact your local Red Cross for a referral to the local Consumer Credit Counseling Services (CCCS). They can negotiate reduced interest and payments. They will require you to stop using all credit and to cut up your cards. Your credit report will be updated to "enrolled in debt management." This does not damage your credit, but it may make it difficult to obtain new credit while you are enrolled in their program….so don't use this service if you anticipate applying for a new apartment, car loan or mortgage anytime soon, as you would might be denied while you're enrolled in the CCCS debt management program…
CCCS counselors will often tell people to not file for bankruptcy when they really should. If your debt is overwhelming relative to your income/assets and the reduced payments negotiated by CCCS simply will not work, then you should think about filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Sometimes filing for Chapter 7 is the best option for overwhelming debt. Don't let anyone smear or guilt-trip you if you need to file for bankruptcy. Do what's best for you and your family.
==================
Stay away from any "debt consolidation" company that promises to cut your debt in half through debt settlement….This is a risky tactic of deliberately ceasing all payments to creditors and forcing your accounts into default to attempt settlements. You can never predict how your creditors will respond to the deliberate defaulting of your accounts…they might settle at 50%…or they might serve you a summons, take you to court…and if they win, you could be looking at wage garnishment. Many people who sign up with “debt consolidation” firms incorrectly assume that they have the power to force your creditors to accept settlements…they don’t. Your creditors have the right to refuse settlements and take you to court.
this company also stung my wife and i for £20, as luck would have it, we decided to check with our credit card provider within the hour, and got our cards cancelled and new cards issued, but we still got hammered for the above amount.
to google callematics you find it is a non-contactable company, who seem to be a foreign call centre, should we hold them responsible for the fraud on my cards????

@afodis Not necessarily. Debt can be incurred involuntarilly in a number of ways. One of the biggest reasons can be due to suddenly becoming sick from a disease. Americans polled in 2009 reported that they had filed for bankruptcy and 62.1% that polled showed that it was due to outstanding medical bills. 3 out of 4 people who filed for bankruptcy had insurance.

Only idiots are in debt
First of all, sorry to say, you can not cancel a credit card that has an outstanding balance. The card issuer can cancel the account and no doubt will if you are not making payments.
Your only action would be to seek help from a reputable Debt Management Program, also known as credit counselors. Revisions to the Bankruptcy Code became effective October 17, 2005. These revisions require consumers planning to file bankruptcy to obtain, at their own expense, credit counseling services before filing bankruptcy.
Reputable credit counseling organizations employ counselors who are certified and trained in consumer credit, money and debt management, and budgeting. Those organizations that are nonprofit have a legal obligation to provide education and counseling.
Credit counseling often arranges for consumers to pay debts through a debt management plan (DMP). In a DMP, you deposit money each month with a credit counseling organization. The organization uses these deposits to pay your credit card bills, student loans, medical bills, or other unsecured debts according to a payment schedule they’ve worked out with you and your creditors. Creditors may agree to lower interest rates or waive certain fees if you are repaying through a DMP.

You must understand, they(the politicians and bankers) will DO ANYTHING to stay in power. If the people revolt due a 'great depression' and the needed repricing of markets, they will face pitchforks and riots in the land and will lose their heads(literally)….This helicopter money drop(i.e.stimulus) will most likely be followed by even larger money drops(more stimulus) as we go forward….$2000 each next time? probably just before christmas…..They will keep printing because it is the only option….The best thing to do is to save the 'free' money via buying silver and gold for your children/grandchildren because it is THEIR money we are 'borrowing' and at least they can have that back someday.
GUIDO ON THE CORNER DON’T TRY TA CHARGE YOU THAT KINDA INTEREST LOL
I had $12,00 and $8,000 credit cards at 29% , the banks raised the rates from 8% because of “universal default” , this is despicable!. My attorney told me to send them a certified letter to not call me [by Federal Law they must stop]! This is a “Federal law”. . Then he suggested that I don’t pay for about 4 months at which time they’ll get someone to negotiate. I didn’t pay and I won’t so I save $300 a month. my credit score is low.. but so what! Call a free state Attorney or any Attorney!
Best thing to do is file bankruptcy. I’ve done it twice and don’t regret it at all.
The other answer is for a debt settlement program. A DMP or Debt Management Program is a structured repayment to your creditors, where the creditor grants certain concessions, for the commitment from you to:
1. Not use your card for additional charges (the card will be closed by the lender)
2. Make a consistent and fixed payment each month until the balance is paid off (nor settled).
With a DMP you pay back everything you owe and some interest (depending on what the APR is lowered to while participating in the DMP.
The impact to your credit is twofold. Because the cards you consolidate into a DMP are closed – that can have a negative impact (at least initially). Also, the credit card companies may report that you are participating in a program with a third party DMP or CCCS program. This impacts how lenders may view your creditworthiness but is not factored into the algorithm used to calculate your actual credit score.
The good news is that the notation on your credit is only there while you are participating in a DMP. Once a DMP is completed the remark is removed from your credit report, so that for any future lender it would appear that you paid off a large amount of credit card debt in a short period, without any evidence of assistance.
Assuming that you make wise choices with the rest of your credit obligations (Auto loan, mortgage, utilities, medical bills, student loans, etc). Your credit should improve by the time you have completed the program. Your Debt to Income Ratio will be better and you will have 48-60 months (depending on the length of the DMP) of paying on time. Together the Payment History and The Debt To Income ratio – constitute over 60% of your credit score.
But to answer more directly. No, a DMP is not in anyway the same as a Bankruptcy. With Bankruptcy you are trying to walk away from your debts. With DMPs you are paying back everything is a structured manner. Make sure you are looking at Debt Management and Not Debt Settlement/Negotation… these are very different services.
Hope that helps.
