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.

I would go with Judy's advice. It is very possible that you can negotiate for a lower interest rate. Credit card companies want to be paid; if you default they lose and you lose. That is why negotiation always remains an option.
The only way to reduce credit card debt is to pay it off. So first off, quit spending.
If you have a card with a lower interest rate, check with them about a balance transfer. Make sure they are not charging fees for the transfer that will eat up any savings.
A personal loan at a lower interest rate may work, however there are fees to take out a loan that may eat any savings from interest. Also, personal loans are pretty difficult to get now days.
In short, stop using the card and start making payments.
Best thing to do is file bankruptcy. I’ve done it twice and don’t regret it at all.
@donniebrasco24 Yes that applies to about 94% of the people who have credit cards
FAQ on Debt Settlement Firms:
———————-
If you are current on your cards (not late), your credit card companies will not be in the mood to negotiate ANY reduction. If this applies to you don't waste your time with this.
Debt Settlement firms have no special powers and cannot do anything that you cannot do yourself. If you are very late in one or more accounts….i.e. past due 90 days, you can attempt to settle a debt yourself….If you are close to six months late you can attempt a settlement around 50%.
The credit card company is under no obligation to accept any settlement offer from you or any debt settlement firm you hire. Yet, if you are really behind on your bills, like >5 months, they'll probably settle as an alternative to charge-off or you filing for bankruptcy
Be careful:
** The internet is flooded with complaints about debt settlement firms
** There are rumors that some card carriers will immediately send your account to their legal department if they catch wind that you're using a debt settlement firm
** Settling a debt for less than the full amount will be a big negative on your credit report.
Very Important:
**** Settling a debt for less than the full amount may increase your next year's tax bill….Forgiven debt is considered earned income by the IRS…. So if you have $5K of debt forgiven in a settlement offer, you'll have to add that $5K to your next years income and pay additional taxes
** If you attempt to settle on your own, get the terms IN WRITING FIRST prior to giving them one penny.
One option is to contact your local CCCS…They can reduce your interest rate but NOT the amount of debt.
I know you can call your credit card company and talk them into giving you a lower interest rate.
Address your credit just means to pay attention and if it is out of control then do steps to get it back in control.
Cut up your credit card if you cant stop using it for convenience.
Changing laws: you can contact your State Representative and Congressman. The names and address' are in your local paper.
Throw every penny you can squeeze out of your budget on the highest interest rate, while making minimum payments on the rest. When the highest rate is paid off, move to the next till they are all paid off.
The snowball affect works. Some folks recommend paying the smallest to largest amounts. This might give you faster gratification but paying off by the interest rate will save you money. It gets easier once the first card is paid off.
Depending on how much debt you have and how hard you work at it, you could have it all paid off in a year or two.
Only idiots are in debt
GUIDO ON THE CORNER DON’T TRY TA CHARGE YOU THAT KINDA INTEREST LOL
awesome video!!!! i have actually used letsforgetdebt Great help!
Don't panic…it doesn't sound like you're in horrible shape and you've already made the mental commitment to fix the problem so that's the first step.
I'm afraid that I can't offer much help about companies that can assist you but the little I know about them is that most are fee based and don't do much more than you can do for yourself. There are some agencies that do offer free counseling..you may be able to find some in the phone book or on-line. Again, just make sure that they are not a fee-based service or some type of consolidation loan.
In addition, there are a number of self-help gurus out there who specialize in this sort of thing. One that comes to mind is Dave Ramsey. He's on the radio and has several books with basic, easy to follow plans to reduce debt. He doesn't have any miracle cure…it's just disciplined, common sense. The "Reader's Digest" version is you need to contact your credit cards to attempt to reduce the interest rate, cut all unneccesary expenses, start to pay cash for things and budget your expenses. Then you need to take any "extra" money you save and pay that against your highest interest rate card until you can pay that off. Once that's done, you roll the extra cash into the next card, etc until you're debt free.
Obviously, there's more to it than that but that's the basic idea. I'm sure you can find more info on-line or at the local library along with some others that are almost identical. Good luck.

@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.
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!
When you start getting scared to look at your bank statements thats when your in trouble
THese companies are basically cutting a deal with your creditors. They say, look, X amount is fines and interest, our client is a borderline deadbeat and will agree to pay X amount (way less than what you owe usually), we'll set him up on an accelerated payment plan so you get at least a portion of your money quickly. Then this usually shows up on your credit report as a pay off or whatever, and it starts rebuilding. However, I've only seen these types of things work when a person has an account that's been sold a couple times to collections agencies or they are so behind that the creditor is going to sell the account or persue other legal investigations.
Stop spending money you haven't got on these cards sounds like the safest was to reduce this debt to me.
