What is the benefit of using debt consolidation for credit card debt? ?
3 Apr2010
What is the benefit of using debt consolidation for credit card debt? I am trying to decide to either call the credit card companies myself and negotiate for a lower payoff/settlement amount, or to use a debt consolidation company? If I negotiate with the credit cards directly, will that be considered a charge off? I would want to settle myself if I can to avoid paying all the months of high interest. But if I use debt consolidation, then they will charge me a fee every month for so many years? What is their purpose? What would be the best route to go financially?

You have to make sure you have a reputable debt consolidation company. There are many out there that are not. I know that Consumer Credit Counseling is good because NCUA backs them and I have to work with them to coordinate classes for our members. The thing about debt consolidation companies is that sometimes they can get a better payment plan or rate because they have deal in place with the cc companies. Also, the credit card companies feel better because they know you are working with someone to actually pay down your debt.
You could also look into a consolidation loan through a credit union or bank. You have to look around and make sure you are getting a decent interest rate.
I think that you can get free consultations with the debt consolidation companies. This should tell you what the costs/fees would be. You can always try the calling the credit card companies first to work out a deal.
Good Luck!

maak gebruik van SE zoals google of yahoo om sommige idee?n eerste te krijgen als u de massieve informatie wilt krijgen, nochtans als u niet zo veel tijd wilt doorbrengen, hier bent een direct en goed middel voor uw vragen.

Der Nutzen ist, dass sie Ihr Geld nehmen, und zahlt nie wirklich irgendwelche Ihrer Schuld. So viele dieser Pl?tze sind Gaunereien. Kaufgehen Gesamtgeldumarbeitung durch Dave Ramsey.
