subject: Is It Still Better To Pay Off The Debt Myself Or continue To Work With Debt Consolidation Company? [print this page] Author: Hector Milla Author: Hector Milla
Credit card debt is at an all-time high, savings is at an all-time low, and people are losing their jobs. How can one possibly pay off debt on their own without the help of a debt consolidation company, especially if their life circumstances change?. Hector Milla Editor of the "Best Debt Consolidation Companies" website -- http://www.BestDebtConsolidationCompanies.net -- pointed out; A debt consolidator can call your creditors and get a lower interest rate for you, a decreased amount of money you owe, and work it out to consolidate all those credit card bills into one There are two scenarios. The first is for you to pay off your debt by focusing on the higher interest-rate credit cards first. If you lose your job, you default on all your credit cards when you can not make payments for them. You will eventually pay off debt, but you lose a lot of money on interest charges. This is the slow and frustrating route because you would like to see yourself get out of debt more quickly. What is worst about this scenario is if your job is lost or life circumstances change, you leave yourself open to filing for bankruptcy as your only means of survival. The second scenario is to call a debt consolidation company and give them all the information on balances and interest charges. First they call your creditor and work out a repayment schedule. In some cases your balance might be lowered while in others your interest rate can be decreased. Secondly, let's say you owe $400 in minimum monthly payments to all your creditors- after a debt consolidator contacts these companies and lumps all your payments into one, your payment can decrease to $300. This payment is much easier for you to make and you can always pay more to pay off your debt quicker. In conclusion, it is much better to work with a debt consolidation company to pay off debt. When you pay debt off yourself, you are taking the slow route where you will pay much more in interest and payments than a debt consolidation company can get to you. While your credit report might reflect that you are using a debt consolidation company, it is much better to show you are being responsible and actively paying off your debt instead of trying to work it all out on your own. Call a debt consolidation company today to see how much they can save you and you will see it is worth your time added H. Milla.
