7 Ways to Consolidate Your Debt
...... this is the case, lenders will be glad to offer to you a loan or line of credit based on your homes value. You can use the loan/line of credit to pay off debt; in many cases the interest rate for the loan/line of credit is tax deductible too, whereas for a credit card debt it is not.
5. Renegotiate Your Loan. Some lenders will be all too happy to lower your outstanding interest rate, especially if in doing so they get to keep you as a customer. Sure, your 19.8% rate may only drop to 14 or 15%, but that may be all you need to get a handle on your debt.
6. Your Savings Institution. Banks, savings and loan associations, and credit unions may be able to help you consolidate debt by offering to you one loan that will pay off all your debt and allow for you to have a low, fixed-rate payment instead. Shop around, the rates vary!
7. Go to Mama! Family loans are a popular way to get rid of debt. Still, if you cant pay them back, what effect will that non-payment have on your relationship with your family member? Sure, it may not effect your credit standing, but it certainly could have a negative effect on your family standing!
Naturally, you will want to explore each of these options and see which ones are the most feasible for you. Read the fine print and make sure you understand the terms of any debt consolidation loans. You want to reduce your debt, not create an avenue for further trouble.
