Debt management 101: YOU are the ONLY one that can do ANYTHING to get YOU out of debt.
If you had given your creditor what you paid the debt management companies, you would be MUCH closer to being out of debt already. Cut your spending to the bone, do everything possible to bring in extra income, and ATTACK your debts with all possible funds.
Mostly all of the debt management companies are out to make money, and they make their money off of you.
You have two solutions:
1. You go at it alone. Set up a budget and cut back on your spending. The money you are “saving” by cutting back your spending should go towards paying off your debt faster. If you truly feel like you cannot do this on your own, then you have option 2.
2. Go to http://www.nfcc.org This is the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. They are nonprofit and will sit down with you and help you understand personal finance and work with you to set up a budget and pay off your debt.
You have other options depending on the size of your debt
Bankruptcy – The oldest way of getting rid of unmanageable debt. Bankruptcy is usually over after one year, but you are likely to lose your house and any other assets you may have in order to pay your creditors
Individual voluntary arrangement (IVA) – An IVA is a deal between you and your creditors to pay your debts. Less stigma, less chance of losing your home, but involves paying a percentage of your debts over a number of years
Debt Relief Orders – The were first brought into force in 2009 and allow people with debts of less than £15,000 and little assets to write off debts without having to declare themselves bankrupt.
Settling your credit card debt requires hard work and discipline on your part. There are many methods available for clearing off your unsettled bills.
The first thing you have to do is list down all your credit card balances and arrange them from the lowest to the highest. You can pay all of them with minimum amount but make an additional payment for the credit card with the lowest balance. Keep doing this until you have completely settled the balance.
Once you have settled that debt, start paying off your card with the lowest balance plus additional payments. For example, if the minimum payment is $50, add an additional $25 so for the next card, your total payment is $75 plus the minimum $50. When that card has been cleared off, proceed to the third card and increase your payment to $175.
