In the past few years, it has become apparent that if you want to be financially secure you are going to have to eliminate your debt. And you have a few different ways that you can do this, but it all depends on how disciplined you are, how much you owe and how far past due your accounts are which method is going to work best for you.
If you are disciplined and can follow a plan without assistance, paying your accounts off on your own is the best option. Finding a way to increase your income, even a little bit and decreasing your spending is the best way of paying off your debt. Contact all your lenders and ask them to reduce your interest rates. From this point you will make minimum payments on all accounts and pay as much as you can on the account with the lowest balance. Follow this process until all your accounts are paid off.
Debt settlement is another good debt relief option. It is something you should try to use in place of bankruptcy. This is a negotiation process with the lender where they agree to accept less than what is owed on the account as payment in full.
Credit counseling is your third option. This is a debt consolidation program that does not require a loan. Most unsecured debts can be placed in this program. You will only need to make one payment each month. You do not need to own a home or have good credit. This program will allow you to pay off your debts in 3 to 5 years with interest rates that are significantly reduces and fees that have been eliminated.
