Tired Of Unmanageable Credit Card Debts? Go For A Debt Management Program
You are tired of your unmanageable credit card debts and the thought of filing bankruptcy keeps playing in your mind. You are not alone. I used to be suffocated by overdue credit card minimum payments, personal loan installments, and home loan and car loan payments until the thought of filing bankruptcy popped up all the time.
Listen. There are various credit card debt free options that you can consider before you think of filing bankruptcy. I used to think that filing bankruptcy was my only way out. Apparently, I was wrong.
There are debt relief options such as debt consolidation programs, debt management programs, debt settlement plans or credit counseling services that you can seek help from to avoid bankruptcy.
I am now under a debt management program that helps me restructure all my credit card and personal loan debts into one repayment plan.
I am relieved for the time being because there is only ONE small monthly payment to ONE agency on ONE date. I no longer need to be stressed out with multiple credit card monthly payments to various banks on different dates.
You can do debt management either directly by yourself, by a free debt management agency or by a hired third party. For me, I sought help from a free credit management agency.
The free credit management agency handled the negotiations with my creditors to allow me to repay my credit card and personal loan debts with a lower interest rate. All my credit card and personal loan debt are merged into a single lower monthly payment.
Through the debt management program, I make one monthly installment to the credit management agency and the agency is in charge of distributing the monthly installment evenly to my creditors.
Lower monthly repayment also means that it takes longer time to pay off my credit card debt, 5, 8 or 10 years. However, I can make full settlement on a credit card outstanding balance in future once I can afford to do so. This helps shorten the tenure of debt management program.
As I pay a small monthly payment under the debt management program, any extra cash I have I must manage it properly by saving it up as emergency funds for unexpected expenses such as separation, job loss, illness or business failure. The funds can also be used to pay off a credit card outstanding balance at one go to shorten the tenure of my debt management program.
If you find your credit card debts unmanageable but not ready for bankruptcy, go for a free debt management program, a debt consolidation program, a debt settlement plan or a credit counseling service.
