Pay Off Your Debt Without Ruining Your Credit Rating
There are lots of ways to eliminate your charge card account debt. You could declare bankruptcy, you could call one of those “secrets the charge card companies don’t want you to know” places and really destroy your credit rating, or, you could follow my simple plan for paying off all your credit card accounts, while actually improving your credit score.
Now the plan is simple, but it is not easy. To make it work you are going to need to exercise a large amount of self control, and be committed to paying off your credit card debt.
Paying off your debt is going to have to become more important to you than having the latest car, the biggest house, or even the nicest shoes. In some cases, to pay off your debt you are going to need to make some sacrifices in your style of living.And it won’t happen overnight.
Paying off your credit card debt is a lot of hard work, but the rewards are outstanding. If you follow my plan, not only will you pay off your credit card accounts, at the same time you will be building an emergency fund savings account. Imagine how it will feel to be debt free, and with money in the credit card company. Imagine not needing to worry if your car needs repair. Imagine what it would be like to on a first class vacation, and not have to worry about paying the bills when you get home.
I know what I am talking about. There was a time when I had almost $30,000 in charge card debt. Plus a mortgage! 5 years ago I paid off my last debt, and I have lived debt free ever since. But that does not mean I am living the frugal life. Before I paid off my debt I was paying almost $2,000 per month in interest alone! (That included my mortgage, which I also paid off.) Paying off that much debt freed up a bunch of cash each month. Since I have become debt free I have taken a two week first class vacation to Belize, and paid cash! I have bought a car, with cash, and I have enough in savings that I will be OK for a long time if I happen to lose my job.
Now normally this would be the place where I would tell you to buy my book, or sign up for my seminar, but that is not what I am going to do! Keep reading and I will tell you exactly what you need to do to pay off all your debt and become debt free.
Step Number 1- Find Out Exactly How Much You Owe On Your Credit Cards
Get all your credit card statements together, and then using either a spreadsheet, or just a piece of paper, across the top create the following categories.Credit Card Name, Total Amount Owed, Interest Rate, Minimum Payment. Now using your charge card statements fill out the worksheet for every credit card account that you are carrying a balance on. Then add up the total amount owed, and the total minimum payment. Take a moment to just look at these numbers. Look at the minimum payment amount. What could you do with that amount of cash if you didn’t have to send it to your credit cards? Now look at at the total amount due. Don’t worry about how big the number is, don’t feel guilty about running up that much debt. But do accept that this is the amount of debt you have, and that you are committed to getting rid of it.
Step 2 – What to Do When You Can’t Pay the Minimum Payments On Your Credit Card
Now go back to that minimum payment amount. If you regularly pay more than the minimum payment, I will get back to you in just a minute. But keep reading if you want to really accelerate paying off your charge card accounts. If you can’t pay more than your minimum payment, or if you are not able to pay even the minimum payments on your credit card. Listen UP! You are spending more than you earn. As long as you spend more than you earn, you will only get deeper and deeper in debt. And it will only get harder and harder to get it all paid off. Starting immediately you need to spend less, and make more. Personally I find spending less quite a bit easier than earning more. But I will be writing more hubs later that deal with both of these topics in more detail.
But for now, first look to where you can cut back on spending. You may think that you have cut back as much as you can, but I can almost bet you have not. Sometimes it takes drastic measures to make a real dent in your spending. Taking your lunch to work and passing on the daily latte will certainly help, but here are a couple ideas that will turbo charge your efforts to get your charge card debts paid off.
Consider selling your car and using public transportation. If you are making payments on your car, this might be all you need to get on the fast track for paying off your credit cards. Just make sure you can sell your car for enough to pay off the entire debt.
The second big step you can take to increase your income without taking another job is to consider taking in a roommate. In my area you can rent a room in your house for $500 per month. Once again, think about how quickly you could pay off your charge card accounts if you paid an extra $500 per month.
Step 3 – Paying Off Your Credit Cards, Have a Plan
Pull out your spreadsheet and take another look at your minimum payment. Now decide how much extra you can put towards paying off your credit card accounts.If you can’t come up with an extra amount, then go back and read the previous paragraphs. For the plan to work in a reasonable amount of time, you need to be able to pay more than the minimum payment. Decide which charge card account you would like to pay off first. Some people like to pay off the card with the highest annual percentage rate. That makes sense, because in the long run you will pay less in interest. Some people like to pay off the card with the lowest balance first. That way they will have the satisfaction of getting a card paid off in the quickest amount of time. Either way is fine with me, as long as you pick just one card that you want to pay off first, and stick with the decision.As you pay off each card, you will roll over the total payment into the next card you want to pay off.
For all of your charge card accounts except one, you are going to pay just the minimum payment…no more! This starting minimum payment is the payment you are going to make until the card is paid off. Over time, your minimum payment will go down, but the amount you pay on the card will not.
Now lets take a look at your extra payment amount. If it is under $12 take half of it and make that the additional payment on the card you are paying off first. That is right, I said half. Even if it is only $1. The other half of your extra payment amount you are to deposit in an emergency only savings account. Even if it is only $1. Now I know that most credit card companys will not open a savings account for only a dollar. Get creative, you don’t need to keep the cash at a bank, but you do need to put it aside to be used only for emergencies. And I mean real emergencies. You biggest priority right now is to pay off your debt. Your emergency fund is to be used only for things you literally can’t live without. If your extra payment amount is $12 or more, I want to you split it in thirds. One third to paying off your debt, one third to your emergency savings account, and one third to fun cash.
Step 4 – Automate Your Credit Card Payments
Now that you know exactly how much you will be paying on your charge card accounts each month, you can set up your payments so they happen automatically. Most banks will let you do this through online banking, or you can contact your credit card company and they will set you with an automatic payment plan. With all your payments on auto pilot, you won’t be late making a payment, and you won’t be tempted to skip a payment. You just need to be sure that you have enough in the bank to cover your payments.
Step 5 – Pay Cash for Everything
Let me tell you about a very difficult day in my life. I had committed to paying off my credit card account debt, and that meant not charging anything. How can you pay off your debt if you are continually adding to it? I was in the middle of putting in an above ground pool. It was May and the days were beginning to get warm. I couldn’t wait for my pool to be done so I could enjoy it. But on this particular day I realized that I needed some extra parts for the pool. I didn’t have the cash for it. I knew it could take weeks to save up the cash for the parts, weeks that I could be swimming in my new pool. I am happy to say that I stuck to my plan. I made an extra effort to cut costs, and I did various odd jobs that I could find to bring in more money. In two weeks I had saved enough to buy what I needed to finish the pool, without adding to my charge card debt.
Paying cash for everything is the hardest part of the plan, and the most important. As the old saying goes, if you want to get out of the hole, quit digging! This was the most challenging part for me and for most people. But once you get in the habit of paying with cash or doing without, you wil find that it gets easier and easier. Plus you will be getting the satisfaction of watching your charge card balances go down for a change.
The Final Step To Becoming Debt Free
Every once and again, most people will have a time when some extra money comes into the house. It could be a tax refund, a raise a work, even an inheritance you didn’t know was coming. Whenever that happens, just apply the one third rule. One third goes to paying off debt, one third goes to emergency savings, and one third goes to fun money.
A funny thing starts to happen as you learn to live on a cash basis, and as you watch your charge card account balances decline. You start to enjoy living within your means. You find that you are stressing less about cash, and you might actually find yourself feeling sorry for the people with lots of expensive “stuff” that they bought with debt.
And when the day comes when you finally pay off that last charge card account, you will have a huge sense of satisfaction, knowing that you have done what many people attempt, but few actually do.
Also, if you are looking for a balance transfer credit card to bring interest down, www.1-2-3-creditcards.com has the best charge card offers. I would advise starting with Discover cards or Chase cards.
A lot of people have overspent in November & December on Christmas gifts and so may have a lack of cash flow in January.This is furtherproof that many are struggling to meet the payments of their risingCredit Card Debtor other unsecured debts,and while trying to service these debts are leaving themselves short of money which makes them unable to keep up with their other regular household commitments.
It is of course not just spending over the festive period that leaves families struggling, we must remember that there are other issues at work here. The current economic climate has seen a large number of people made redundant.The self-employed market has been hit hard, particularly those in trades and financial services whose incomes were largely dependent on robust housing and mortgage markets.
Most people who find themselves in this position will struggle on with their debts for as long as they can, having sleepless nights, checking balances on a daily basis, sometimes more than once, clinging to the hope that things are going to improve,and in most cases, without realising it, putting their health in danger from the stress money troubles can bring.
At what point should someone look forDebt Managementhelp. The main reasons people don’t seek help,or think about Debt Consolidation,is that they feel ashamed that they cannot pay the bills or carry on with their repayments, and as already mentioned keep using the credit cardenlarging the debt,while they wait for the situation to improve. For some people it would take a large lottery prize to be in a position to repay all this debt and get back on the road to financial recovery.
Nobody should be ashamed to look for advice or help withDebt Management.The first step is to realise that you can’t go on in the continual fear of the next monthly bill arriving. Once a person has realisedthis they need to look forhelp to start on the road to recovery, and to regaininga little control over their finances. There is not a magic wand that can be waved to make peoples Credit Card Debtdisappear, and because the credit has been borrowed,a lender isfree to expect that every effort is made to pay back as much of the debt as can be afforded.
It may be the case for some that they have a high income and have not appreciatedjust how much they have actually been using their credit cards, as the intention was always to clear the balances on a monthly basis. With high interest rates, if this is not done it won’t be long before even high income earners could find themselves with as much going out as coming in.
There are manydifferent ways in which someone can try and improve the situation that they find themselves in. It may be for some, who are lucky enough to have sufficient equity in the property they own, combined with a good income,that its worth using Credit Card Debt.This can besecured against their propertyand may provide them with enough free monthly income to get them back on their feet.
For others though this might not be an option, as it has become harder to borrow money against your home and many will not have enough income to cover the additional borrowing needed to use Debt Consolidation so a different approach to Debt Management is needed. Schemes such as Government backed IVA’s or Trust Deeds as they are known in Scotland may be used; both are legally binding agreements for both the customer and the creditor. Whichever method is used itsextremely important to act now concerning Credit Card Debt and other debt problems a long time before interest rates start to rise again and make it tough for all of us.
Credit card debt is a common problem for many credit card owners nowadays. Most people, who have active lifestyles and have to keep their families, visit stores daily to buy food or some consumer goods. It is not comfortable to pay with cash and to look for a change every time you buy something. It is much handier to pay with your credit card and get your purchase. You do not have to worry that you don’t have enough cash and will not be able to buy everything you need. Just take your credit card out of the wallet and make payment. All you need to do is to pay in the end of the month. Unfortunately, all of us know that we are allowed to go beyond the limit in case of necessity. In other words, we can spend a certain sum and even lend out some more from our banks if we want to buy some useful appliances and don’t have enough cash or money on the credit card. The only condition is to pay off the whole debt in the end of the month. It makes sense and we often let ourselves borrow this money to buy something we have always wanted to buy. However, there is one huge disadvantage of using credit cards and credit card loans. Most people, borrowing money and exceeding the limit of their credit cards don’t realize what consequences are waiting for them in the future. The agreement we have to sign when getting a credit card from a bank consists of several important clauses and one of these clauses contains interest rate you will have to face if exceeding your credit card limit. Most credit card owners tend to skip this clause as something understandable and that’s the greatest mistake ever. If you are just about to get your credit card, pay special attention to the clauses of your credit card agreement. Focus on the clause informing you about interests and count the sum you will have to overpay if lending out from your credit card. The sum you may have to face can be huge and it can possibly prevent you from borrowing. Those people, who don’t pay attention to this clause, have to deal with a large credit card debt after all. Dividing this debt into several parts and paying them off monthly won’t help you, because your interest rate will be growing as well as the sum of the debt. It can urge you to ask for help of debt settlement companies, which will also cost you a pretty penny. So, don’t be careless and treat all agreement you sun attentively to guard yourself against debts and other undesirable circumstances.

With the development of modern technologies, people are getting used to comforts and devices, making our life easier and more comfortable. There is nothing strange about it, because easier living let us enjoy our lives at full. We don’t have to spend hours, washing our cloths, because washing machine will do the washing for us. We don’t have to chop wood and fire our fireplaces to warm our houses and cook meals – central heating and generators will do it for us. We don’t have to fish or hunt in to feed ourselves – we can buy food in marts and groceries. Everything is done for us to feel comfortable and fed up. All we have to do is to earn money and to pay for all these comforts. However, earning money seems to be even more difficult than hunting or fishing. Taking into account economic crisis of the last three years, it is difficult to predict what is waiting for us in the future. The best professionals all over the world lose their jobs every day and have to borrow money to keep their families. We are not confident about the future, so how can we enjoy all these expensive comforts offered to us? It is senseless and all we have to do is to think how to live on the pittance we get? Meanwhile, banks do their best to get us addicted to the services they provide. More and more people deposit all their money with the bank in order to get interests, which are so helpful sometimes. As we have already mentioned, economic crisis had been on the agenda for the last two or three years and many bank were about to collapse, taking our money with them. As you understand, you can never feel safe depositing your money with your bank, but at the same time, you have no other way out, because interests from your deposit can be profitable for you. People are dependent on banks and on credit cards, which is even worse. Credit cards are very popular nowadays. People use them to pay on the Internet, when they buy something on-line; they pay with credit cards in groceries and marts. Credit card is a handy alternative to cash we all use every day.

Credit card debts have already become an urgent issue in modern society. More and more people get their plastic credit cards and use them in their everyday life, Internet shopping is getting more and more popular nowadays and it is practically impossible to imagine it without credit cards. It is so simple to pay with your credit card on the Internet, whereas going to your bank and transferring money is much more tiresome. Why should you make your life complicated if all you need is to do is to get a credit card and to put your money on it? It is also very comfortable to pay with your credit card in shops and supermarket. You do not have to have cash anymore. All you need is to give your credit card to a cashier and to get your purchase. So simple! To cut the long story short, anything can be paid with your credit card and that makes them so popular worldwide. However, it would be at least strange if banks would not earn their share from it. First of all, they get their profit from the interests you have to pay when you withdraw your money from your credit card. When you withdraw big sums, it is quite a considerable profit for your bank. If you had cash, you would not have paid all these extra money.
The second way for your bank to get your money is to lend this money to you. Sounds strange, but that’s it. Do you remember the day when you have got your credit card and had to sign an agreement? There was a clause, offering you to borrow a certain sum of money from your credit card in case of necessity. Most people tend to omit this clause as something useless and not deserving attention. When the opportunity to spend this extra money turns up, all you remember is that you are allowed to borrow a bit of money from your card. You take this money, spend them and do not feel bad about this. This fairytale ends up when the time to pay back comes. The worst thing about credit cards is that we cannot touch money on it to realize the whole significance of the sum. So when there is time to repay we can finally get how deep we are stuck. The sum of the debt seems to be intolerable and impossible to pay back in one month. So, you postpone your debt payment to the following months (or the part of the debt). Sometimes, people have to hire debt settlement companies to help them with the debt settlement. If you don’t want to be one of these poor people, don’t lend out. Don’t get hooked by your bank!

Modern world is developing rapidly and we hardly have time to be in the know of latest development and innovations. All modern companies and structures are based on the usage of computers and computer systems. It is difficult to imagine our lives without ATMs, Internet shops, etc. Banking systems are based on computers as well and we use the services of our banks gladly every day. For example, the first popular service, provided by banks is money deposits. Modern people try keeping their savings in bank, because keeping it under your mattress is not safe and you have always feel worried. Depositing your money with banks, you don’t have to worry anymore. Moreover, your money will earn more money for you, which can be used to keep your family or to buy clothes for you and your family. As the matter of fact, your money works for you and it is a great thing, which has not been available recently. Of course, there are certain difficulties about deposits. To begin with, you never know when the economic crisis can happen. Your bank can collapse and you will lose all your savings. It is a sad perspective, but everything we do daily is dangerous and it does not prevent us from going out.
The second most popular service provided by bank is credit cards. Nowadays it is difficult to remember the day when we first began to use credit cards. They became an inalienable part of our lives and we use them daily to pay for almost everything we get in stores and marts. It is curious addiction, because there is actually no need in credit cards, considering that they don’t help us save money, but vice versa urge us to waste them. Each f us is informed by bank clerks that we are allowed to borrow some money from our plastic cards in case of necessity. It is just an option, but it occupies quite a considerable place in our minds. We don’t remember about this ‘virtual’ money until the moment comes, when we want to buy something absolutely useless. Imagine that you see this fantastic pair of jeans you have always dreamed of. You don’t have extra cash to buy them and suddenly remember this possible loan you can get from your credit card. You buy the jeans that you could do without and feel the taste of the borrowed money. There are other cases when you are tempted to borrow more and you do it. When the end of the month comes with all these bills and letters from your bank, you find yourself unable to pay off your credit card debt. Don’t let banks fool you and never borrow a single cent from them!

Modern technologies are developing rapidly. Nowadays it is difficult to imagine our lives without cell phones and computers, which help us to keep in touch with our dear people and mates. It would be difficult to have your own business without a computer and mobile phone and it is hard to understand, how people managed to do without these devices. Computers are used to store important financial data as well as databases of all possible organizations and structures – from police to FBI. Imagine, what would happen, if all computers on the planet would suddenly break down. It would be a real catastrophe and the whole world would be recovering for years or even decades. All shops and stores, marts and enterprises, the whole net of Internet shops and web sites would go to pieces without computers.
Modern banking system is fully based on computers. All client names and data, all financial operations and deals are carried by means of computers, which have replaced paper archives long ago. We deposit our money with banks and let these banks operate our money, while we are getting interests for it. It is very comfortable for those people, who have savings and can deposit them. Your money makes more money for you and it is great until your bank collapses. It is the worst thing that can happen, but it happens, although rarely. Nevertheless, despite being aware of possible problems, we still deposit our money with banks, because it is profitable and sometimes helps us to keep our families. However, deposits are not the only option offered by banks. We all use credit cards and can hardly imagine our lives without them. Different people use credit cards for different reasons. Some people are convinced that credit cards are very comfortable in use. You do not have to take cash with you, which is very handy. Credit cards can be used abroad and while purchasing goods on the Internet, from foreign web sites. Losing your credit card does not mean losing your money. All you have to do is to call to your bank and to block your credit card. It means that you don’t have to worry about your cash – it will always be safe with your credit card.
Nevertheless, credit cards have their disadvantages. Using your credit card, you take risk to borrow money from your bank and get a credit card debt. Those people, who have already faced such problem found it difficult to pay off their debts and even had to hire debt settlement agents to deal with their debt. If you don’t want to join those people, be careful and never get tempted to lend out money from your credit card!

Have you ever had to borrow money from your friends? Did you have situations, which you could not cope with on your own and had to ask for help? Well. Almost everybody did. Modern world can be quite cruel to us at times and we have to deal with all challenges, which are usually connected with money somehow or other. Economic crisis that has taken place in recent years took away thousands of jobs. Even the best specialists lost their jobs and had to look for new ones in order to keep their families and earn money. Those were tough times for many people and people had to borrow money to keep living. Nowadays we have one more alternative if we need to have some money to spend and do not have them. Irrespectively of your social status and financial state there is one popular option opened for you at any time. This option is available for you if you are a credit card owner. Most people have one, two or even several credit cards in their wallets. Having credit cards and using them is fashionable nowadays and the price of this service is quite low, so that anyone can afford having credit cards. Signing an agreement, when getting your credit card, is a very important part of the deal. Be very attentive and read all terms of the agreement thoroughly and even two times. Most people do not even look through it and just put their signatures. It is the greatest mistake ever, because such agreements contain very important information that can really save you sometimes. Let us take credit cards as the example. Issuing of a credit card is a very simple procedure and people treat it correspondingly. We just go to the nearest bank, get credit card, put some money on it (in the beginning or the end of the month either) and use it. However, there is one serious pitfall here and let us discuss it. Bank clerks tend to tell you about one interesting thing about credit cards. This thing is the credit card loan, which can be borrowed anytime for our personal purposes. It seems not important and we usually don’t focus on this thing until the tough time comes. Be it a purchase of a beautiful dress or jacket or the case when you have not enough cash with you – credit card loan comes in handy. And that’s how the story begins. You borrow again and again and find yourself having a huge credit card debt you cannot handle on your own. If you don’t want it to happen to you and don’t have extra money to hire debt settlement agent, be careful and attentive when dealing with credit cards!

Modern banking system offers a wide range of services to its clients and the most popular services are indubitably deposits and plastic credit cards. People deposit their money with different banks in order to get interest from it. It makes sense and you can hardly find a person storing his or her money under a pillow or mattress. Of course, we are talking about considerable amounts of money. Depositing your money can help you to keep your family and to not to worry about your money. However, there are some disadvantages of deposits as well. In case of economic crisis or default, you can practically forget about your money. Some banks can be unstable and if you don’t bother yourself with gathering information about your bank, you can find the bank collapsed and your money gone one day. Agree that such situation is not the most pleasant one. So, you have to ask your friends and find out, which bank is the most reliable one, if you have already decided on depositing your money. The second most popular service, provided by any bank is credit card issuing. Unlike deposits, credit cards cannot make money for you and you get them only for your comfort. It is generally considered that credit cards are very comfortable in use. You do not have to take cash with you, fearing that they can be stolen. All you have to do is to have your thin plastic card with you and give it to a cashier of any place you buy something from. Credit cards have a lot of advantages. You can pay for services and goods on-line; you can transfer your money to another credit card (for example to your relative, living abroad). You can pay anywhere and for anything with it and interest charged on payments are usually very low. Credit cards are also very useful when you are abroad and don’t want to take cash with you. Just get your dollar visa or maestro card and you will be able to pay anywhere. Well, it seems that we have just named all advantages of credit cards and now it is time for disadvantages, which prevail in comparison with advantages.

We are lucky to live in the 21st century, when everything is done for us to feel comfortable and safe. We don’t have deficits and can buy everything we want. All we need is to have enough money. We have air conditioning, we can control any electric device in our houses remotely, and we have computers and cannot imagine our lives without them. Nowadays, people can hardly say when the first ATM has appeared or when cars have become available and affordable for anyone, who wanted to have them. Technological progress advances with rapid strides and we don’t even feel it. It seems that we have always had all these comforts and devices, we use every day. We forgot that our grandparent could not even dream of computers and they would think that they were fooled if someone told them that their grandchildren would have something like computers and drive all these fantastic cars. However, we have what we have and we cannot imagine our lives without all these. Progress has already gone so far that we do not even use cash in our everyday lives. We all use plastic credit cards, which seem to replace cash in the nearest future. On the one hand, credit cards look like a really good deal. We can use them when ordering some goods from foreign web sites, we can transfer money and get our salaries and wages this way. Credit cards open new horizons to us and we gladly use all advantages and pluses of these plastic monsters. Why monsters? Well, we have several reasons, letting us say so. From the first sight, credit cards are really great and come in handy quite often. It is the greatest delusion you can have. The thing is it would be unprofitable for banks to care for our comfort without making profit. We all understand this, but don’t want to analyze the situation and think of why we are so addicted to credit cards and cannot do without them. We think that the main reason of credit cards’ popularity is an obvious attempt to follow the fashion. All people use credit cards, why shouldn’t I do the same, you may think. And then… you go to your bank, get your credit card and are informed about the money you can borrow from your credit card in case of necessity. You don’t think about this possible loan and use it to buy a new dress or something. When the end of a month comes, you get a letter from your bank and understand that you cannot afford paying back the whole sum. As months pass, your debt is getting higher until you find yourself incapable of dealing with it in your own. You hire debt settlement agents and try to solve this problem. Of course, you have to pay for it again and again. Do you need these problems? If not, be careful and don’t let your bank make fool of you.
