Credit Card Debt Solution

Posted in Credit, Credit Cards by Little Miss Platinum

debt consolidationCredit card debt is at an all time high with millions of Americans drowning in that deep sea of plastic. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just mold your credit cards into a frisbee and toss your troubles away?  That sounds like heaven to me.  Unfortunately, however,  life is not that easy.  Our actions hold consequences, but there are options for those out there who are struggling to stay above water with their credit card payments.  Let’s outline a game plan to help get you out of that plastic sea and back on shore.

For those with solid credit: If you have good credit but are burdened with huge monthly payments than you may want to apply for a Discover More Card.  You can transfer over your balance from cards with high interest rates. There is a 0% APR for up to 12 months on balance transfers, then a low 11% APR thereafter.

When getting a new credit card is not an option: If transferring the balance on some or all of your credit cards is not a possibility because of your credit, but you have a lot of credit card debt, you should apply for credit card consolidation.  In some cases you can stretch out your payments for 72 months making your monthly payment more manageable.

Consolidating more than just credit cards: If you have other unsecured debt besides credit cards, (car loans, home loan, etc), and want to consolidate all of it, you should use a debt consultation service. This is for individuals who have a minimum of $10,000 of debt.

    credit cards should only be used if money is already set aside… We have to be smart about using them people, only in emergencies!
