Debt Settlement: Remember When Consolidation Loans Used to Be The Standard?

June 2, 2010 - PRLog -- Credit card debt consolidation loans used to be the standard method for consolidating credit card debt, but we live and learn. There are several reasons why you should not use a debt consolidation loan for debt relief. There are other methods that will get your out of debt and back on your feet and on your way to financial stability. If you are struggling to make payments or owe a lot of money, using more debt (a loan) is not a smart decision.

Some people actually need the discipline of not having their credit cards available at all times. This forces individuals to learn to manage their cash effectively. If you are trying to get out of debt and are looking for help, I don’t think that balance transfers or debt consolidation loans are options that should be used. In many cases, the borrowers will again use their newly available credit, putting them even deeper in debt.

But just because a loan is not a good choice does not mean that you do not have options. If you are looking for help, a credit counseling organizations is a great place to start. They consolidate your unsecured debts without a loan. That means no credit check and no home ownership is required. Anyone that can make a 2% payment is a good candidate for this program. A debt management plan will have you out of debt in 3-5 years. A debt counseling agency also offers advice on staying out of debt and managing your money after you have completed the program. Going through credit counseling will not ruin your credit.

If you are someone that cannot be helped by the credit counseling program, your debt management organization can recommend a service or an organization that can give you the help that your situation requires. Just because you have debt does not mean that you do not have choices. The earlier you recognize that you have situation that needs attention the more choices you will have.
