Consumer Debt Consolidation


Myth..."Consumer debt consolidation is only for people with bad credit."

WRONG!
Truth...

Debt consolidation loans account for the vast majority of all loans taken out every month!

It is extremely popular and there is no end in sight for people... just like you and me...to take advantage of the many benefits consumer debt consolidation provides.


Consumer debt consolidation simply means to combine several small bills into one single payment per month in order to lower monthly payments or reduce high interest rates.  These bills usually are credit cards, medical bills, student loans or loans that were used to buy personal or household items. 

DEBT CONSOLIDATION LOANS

With debt consolidation loans you can:

reasonsLower your interest rates
reasonsSave hundreds, even thousands of dollars in lost money
reason Reduce the number of different payments you have to make each month
reasonsMore easily live within a monthly budget
reasons Have more money left over each month from your paycheck
reasonsGain breathing room for needed repairs or major purchase needs

DEBT CONSOLIDATION REFI

Secured Loans  
The most common type is a secured loan such as a mortgage refinance or home equity loan. They sound scarier then they actually are. Most people are adamant that their house not be used as collateral. We will discuss later how this can be a major mistake and cost you a lot more money.


Unsecured
Getting an unsecured loan at a favorable interest rate is difficult. Not impossible, but difficult. There are other ways to reduce payments by working with credit card companies to reduce interests and payments without taking out a secured loan.

The method that is best for you will vary dependent upon your financial situation.

DEBT CONSOLIDATION SERVICES

Don't let prejudices or unfounded beliefs prevent you from the best financial deal!

Debt consolidation services are essentially counselors who specialize in helping you monetarily and emotionally get control of your debt. Most counselors work for a credit counseling agency. These agencies may be nonprofit or for profit.  There is no significant difference between the two, but either one may be just what you need to help you.

NONPROFIT DEBT CONSOLIDATION

A nonprofit debt consolidation agency receives a small portion of the money paid to the agency by the debtor, and it is this share that is the primary means of  support for the non-profit group. A for profit agency on the other hand will have fees that range between 29 to $69 per month. The fee depends on the number of your creditors the agency has to work with.

There is no free ride!  The agency will collect the same amount of money from you.  So the agency gets the same and you pay the same.  The difference is the amount your creditors will receive.

The percentage non-profit agencies receive has dropped to such a low amount that it hardly makes any difference. Today, you will be given the same minimum monthly payment with an interest reduction whether you use a non-profit or for-profit debt consolidation agency.

DEBT CONSOLIDATION PROGRAM

Programs for debt consolidation involve various tactics such as debt elimination, debt reduction, credit card negotiation, and debt cancellation. All are efforts to help you get control of the situation and avoid bankruptcy.
