Worried about your credit card debts? You feel as if these debts will never go away and there is no way out of this mess. Well, life is going to shine back on you and you can turn your life in a completely different direction if you take advice from those who are best at what they do. There are now Credit and Debt Counseling companies who can take care of your problems. With their help you can lower your interest rates and you can actually get out of the debt.
Credit and Debt Counseling is the process of combining all or some of your unsecured debt into a single loan. The main purpose is to lower your overall interest rate and thus your total monthly payments get lowered. The Credit and Debt Counseling effort is negotiated from your new loan provider itself, who can lower your monthly payments as much 30-35% and sometimes even up to 50%. These companies have better interest rates than an average consumer with most of their creditors and this is how they can largely reduce your payments by reducing and in some cases eliminating interest charges from your accounts. They are in essence 'buying' your debt and paying it off at a better rate to your original creditors.
Credit and Debt Counseling Programs help you benefit with the unsecured debt which include credit card debt, service charges, store credit, personal loans, medical bills, signature loans, or charge accounts, gas charge accounts and certain installment loans. This way they can help you reduce your overall monthly debt save on interest fees, help you to establish a monthly household budget, improve your credit rating by paying creditors at the right time, thus avoiding those end collection calls to your house.
Who does not fear filing for bankruptcy? You can escape that if you only follow your Credit and Debt Counseling Company to eliminate any creditor harassment and help lower debt payments up to 50%. The agency you have hired what they would do is they would calculate your "fixed monthly consolidated payment" according to the lowest payment amount accepted by your creditors. Then they would distribute the amount of your "fixed monthly consolidated payment" to each creditor. Most creditors will reduce or stop your interest fees if their minimum payment is met. The interest rate reduction with these programs can range from no change to the freezing of interest depending on the creditors policy. This can help you save thousands as rates that are usually 12%-24% can get reduced to 10%, 8%, 6% or 0%.
These companies are most useful for people having a high number of high-interest loans. These may include credit cards or other high-interest loans/bills; basically any debt with 15% or higher interest is a prime candidate for lower rates. A Credit and Debt Counseling service will basically combine all these high-interest loans and you may be asked to make just one convenient monthly payment that could be as low as half of your current obligations.
The process works like this, a lender would lend you money to payoff your bills. You payoff all your credit cards and other debt, now your payments have all been consolidated into just one monthly payment to the lender, hopefully at a lower average APR than your current bills. Most Credit and Debt Counseling loans are given in the form of home equity loans. Some are personal loans at extremely high interest rates, which is a bad idea to take simply because you are trying to get out of debt, not deeper into debt. If you borrow more money, you won
