Does that title seem all jumbled to you? It is and that is how it can feel if you are stuck under a mountain of debt with no help in sight
. You will be screaming "card consolidation consumer credit debt help" at the top of your lungs and you will have no idea what you mean because it just won't come out right. There is an answer and debt help is right around the corner. Here are your options.
If you have good credit or you own a home you can take out a loan and consolidate your debts. This is the absolute best option because you will get the lowest rate and be able to get your debts under control pretty quickly.
The second option is to use a debt service. This could be a not for profit service or a service that is out to make a profit. Both are going to negotiate with your creditors and try to get the rates, fees, payments, and balances lowered so that you can get out of debt faster. Typically the not for profit service will require that you are counseled about your credit and this can be a very added benefit.
Another option is to take out a credit card with a very high limit and low rate. This can work if done properly, but you have to be careful that you are not getting an introductory rate. You need your rate to be fixed and never changing. You are looking for a rate around 7% or lower.
The last option is to contact your pastor or priest. Many times they have someone in their congregation that has volunteered to help other parishioners that have gotten into debt. They are usually an accountant or financial advisor and they can help you. They will work with you to get you out of debt and to help you stay out of debt.
However you go about getting out of debt it should become a top priority. Don't get stuck filing bankruptcy and waiting all your life to have better credit.
