Debt Reduction
If you feel like you are swimming in a sea of credit card debt,
you are not alone. This fact probably will not make you feelany
better, but the fact that you have lots of company means that
there are a variety of debt reduction strategies and debt
consolidation services you can use to get back on solid
financial ground.
There is a thriving industry full of companies that do nothing
but help consumers get a handle on their debt problems. These
credit counseling firms run the gamut from non-profit community
based organizations to national chains to huge mega companies
with a branch in every major city. Finding the right company to
entrust with your debt reduction can be difficult and
challenging.
Before turning to an outside company for help, however, there
are steps consumers can take on their own to reduce their
debtload. Of course the easiest strategy is to put extra money
toward retiring your debt. Every extra dollar you put toward
your credit card balance is one more dollar on which you will
not owe interest or penalties.
Of course, finding that extra money can be a challenge. Most
people are lucky to have a few dollars left over between
paydays,and many consumers find themselves out of money before
they are out of month. This is where a good budget program can
come inhandy. Budgeting is not a skill that is taught in school,
and it is often not taught at home either. Learning how to make
a budget and stick to it can be the most important aspect of
your financial life.
Try this little exercise and see if you can't shake loose some
extra money each month. Write down every expense you incur for
at least a week. That's every expense - every cup of coffee,
every meal, every trip to the grocery store, every trip to the
mall, every tank of gas. Be scrupulous about recording every
penny you spend and what you spend it on. At the end of the
week, add it all up and give it close scrutiny. Ask yourself if
every item was a necessity. Are there places you can cut backon
your daily living expenses? Even a dollar or two a day can add
up quickly - try cutting
back for a couple months and putting
that extra money toward your debt.
Of course, this strategy may be only part of the solution for
serious debts. If you owe more than you can afford to pay, try
negotiating directly with your creditors. Consumers are often
pleasantly surprised at how flexible their credit card
companies, banks and other lenders are when renegotiating the
terms of their debt. For instance, your credit card company may
be willing to give you a lower interest rate, waive certain
fees, or even accept a lesser amount than what you owe.
Of course, the bank is not just doing this to be nice to you. It
is in the best interest of your creditors that you be in a
position to repay what you owe. After all, if you are forced
into bankruptcy, the bank will most likely be unable to recover
what they are owed. And as you know, bankruptcy is no panacea
for the consumer either. That black mark will follow you for at
least seven years, and it is no longer so easy to use bankruptcy
to shield yourself from debt.
It can be difficult to reduce debt, but by carefully following a
budget and negotiating with your creditors, you can get a handle
on your debt and your spending. You will need to learn how to
handle debt on your own. There is no course on their important
skill, but the skills you teach yourself can help ensure your
financial future and keep you debt free.
If you find difficult to manage yourself you can always look
into a debt
consolidation company. Debt management can
assist you in paying off that debt. When using credit counseling you
will make ONE LOW monthly payment to the debt consolidation
company and in turn they well dispurse the money to your
creditors.
