An extra aid and your debts can be paid

Teach yourself to turn the tide in your favor in difficult times when there is a overflow of debt and you are drowning in it; cry for help to save yourself. Learn the tricks of this trade and as a last way out hold the reins tightly in your hand so that the debt horses do not run helter skelter.

Hint 1) When trouble brews while making payments, then call every credit card company that you owe money to. Check with them if a payment arrangement can be made or if your rate of interest can be lowered. Alternatively, if the company can offer a no-interest option, you would cease accruing interest on your outstanding balance while continuing to pay which would also trim down the amount you would owe.

Hint 2) Be smart and utilize the dough that you have, to completely pay off the debt amount or if not that, at the least reduce the total credit amount that you would need to pay. If you have considerable cash in your savings account and you also realize that it is earning a negligible amount of interest, then use it as a back up for exigencies like these. You would eventually save more money on interest if the debt amount is reduced that what you would earn on the amount is the savings account.

Hint 3) When fully drenched by the debt – cascade, do not let it dampen your spirits; dry yourself completely with a consolidating-cloth and cover yourself with debt-consolidation. Your home can come handy here as home-equity loans have lesser interest-rates than interest on credit- card. The former is tax-deductible while the latter is not.  

Hint 4) Becoming debt-defiant and self-reliant by putting yourself in the hands of a debt-consolidating agency is the last safety-net to wrap yourself in. Consumers can also be helped out by credit counseling agency whose negotiations with the credit-card agency can fetch for you the clauses and conditions that are affordable. You make a single monthly payment and counseling agency in turn pays to the credit company. You heave a sigh of relief but your creditors in future shall hold it against you that your choc-a-bloc finances had to be sorted out by a counselor. Creditors and lenders want you to be the commando in command of your financial domain, so do not deal through counselors.     

Hint 5) Abide by the theme of the Terms and Conditions Scheme. Whichever alternative you select, either consulting a counseling agency or succeeding in pursuing your card company to amend your terms, ensure that comply with the new payment arrangement. Ensure regular and timely payments and further use of the credit card should be avoided so that no more debt piles on.

Warnings for the Debt-warrior

• When you are fighting a war with your debt, keep all your debt weapons ready. Records should always be in writing. Any kind of payment agreements or new Ts and Cs should be put on paper. Insist on an email or written letter from the counseling agency or the credit card company. All records of your conversations and correspondence with them including the minutest details like the date and time and content of conversation should be in black and white.
• A few of these counseling agencies are fraudulent, so do the groundwork prior to working with them. It’s better to be safe than sorry.
