does the bank only loan you the amount of money equal to the equity in your home? Or do they go above the home’s value?

Brad M asked:


I am very desperate to come on here and talk about my financial situation. I need approx. $20,000 to consolidate credit card debt… I do not have enough equity in my home (just bought it last year), I have tried personal loans through Capital One and Chase and have been denied. With Capitol, I even had my father co-sign (he’s got excellent credit) and it didn’t work. I have NO WHERE ELSE TO TURN. I need help, if anyone knows a forgiving lender who will look at my situation, or any other way for me to reach my goal, PLEASE let me know. Please do not refer me to a credit counseling program, for I don’t use my cards anymore, I just have been paying on them for 3 years and trying to speed up things. I know I could just keep paying the most I have on one card and work them down, but I am looking for debt consolidation OPTIONS. Like a bank or organization that would help. Thank you so much for your time in advance!

Generally you will find that there is more credit card debt help available than is actually needed. Just flip through the newspaper and you would be surprised by the number of advertisements related to credit card debt help. Every now and then, there are articles on credit card debt and credit card debt help. Television channels are full of ads related to credit card debt help.

There are websites and magazines that are dedicate to credit card debt help. You also hear about the topic of ‘credit card debt help’ being discussed in parliament. There seem to be policies/laws being formed for credit card debt help. All kinds of suggestions seem to be floating for credit card debt help. Everyone, even some of your friends, have a piece of advice related to credit card debt help. All banks seem to offer credit card debt help in term of various loan types (generally short term loans) at low rates.

So, credit card debt help is readily available and in fact even unwanted credit card debt help or advice will flow into your ears. However, not every one offering credit card debt help is proficient enough to be able to provide proper credit card debt help that will suit you. So you do need to understand some basics about credit cards and credit card debt, before you actually go looking for credit card debt help or before you start helping yourself out with your credit card debt.

So you should try and understand how the credit card suppliers bill you, how the interest is calculated on your credit card balance and how your credit card debt grows. Understanding all about APR, goes without saying. Even if you think that you had gone through all this stuff at the time of choosing your credit card, you should revisit these concepts to make sure that you still know them. If you decide against going for professional credit card debt help, you will need to understand these concepts in even more detail. All these concepts will become handy when you are comparing various balance transfer offers (for example). Moreover, the knowledge of these concepts will also be helpful in making the discussions with credit counsellor more fruitful.

So credit card debt help really starts with developing a better understanding of credit cards and other concepts related to credit cards (irrespective of whether you go for external credit card debt help or not).

Bam Bam asked:


I have over 10,000 worth of credit card debt and a personal loan of 2600 with Beneficial. I am thinking about consolidating it and wondering if anyone has had success with this. I did not want to get a loan but rather do a consolidation with a company that will lower my interest rates and monthly payments. I have so many cards and really think it will help to have just one payment.
Can someone recommend a company to me and tell me why they have worked for you–NO SETTLEMENT COMPANY’S–I know these are bad news and I don’t want my credit ruined.

Thanks

For many consumers, credit card debt elimination can seem like mission impossible. When you’re thousands of dollars in debt and trying desperately to find a light at the end of the tunnel, the outlook can be quite bleak. Fortunately, no one is beyond help when it comes to breaking free from credit card debt. Here are five easy steps that will have you on the road to credit card debt elimination in no time.

1. Get All of Your Credit Card Statements Together

If you’re serious about credit card debt elimination, the first thing you need to do is gather all of your credit card statements together and begin creating a “debt elimination” spreadsheet.

What’s going to go on this spreadsheet? You’ll want to note how much you owe on each credit card, the interest rate and whether that rate is an introductory teaser rate or a long-term rate. If any of your credit card rates are currently on an introductory time line, make note of when that rate will expire and what it will go up to when it does.

2. Figure Out How Much You Can Afford Each Month

Once you know exactly where your debt stands, it’s time to form your game plan. This is critical if you want to pursue credit card debt elimination in the quickest and most efficient manner possible.

First, take a look at how much you can afford to put towards your debt each month. Add up all of your monthly expenses (not including the minimum monthly credit card payments you must make). Take all of your other expenses (include rent/mortgage, car payments, insurance, gas, groceries, utilities, phone, etc.) and add them up.

Once you have your monthly expenses added up, deduct them from your income and see how much you have left over. Take as much of that amount as you possibly can and put it towards your credit card debt elimination plan.

For instance, let’s say you have $400 a month left after all of your monthly expenses have been paid. Take $350 of that (leave $50 for emergencies, etc.) and put that towards paying off your credit card debt.

3. Addressing Your Minimum Monthly Payments

The next step towards credit card debt elimination is adding up all of the minimum monthly payments for all of your credit cards. For instance, if you have three credit cards, all with a minimum monthly payment of $75, your total minimum monthly payments would be $225.

If your credit card allocation were $350 each month like the scenario we outlined above, you’d be in okay shape so far. However, if your minimum monthly payments were $400 and you could only afford $350, then you have a serious problem and you need to start cutting out expenses. This may mean turning off your cable till you’ve achieved credit card debt elimination or foregoing your Starbucks runs, but it will be worth it in the long run.

4. The Plan of Attack

Now that you know exactly how much debt you have and how much money you can afford to pay off that debt each month, it’s time to form your plan of attack.

First, take the total of your minimum monthly payments and subtract it from what you have allocated towards credit card debt elimination. So if you have minimum monthly payments of $225 and a credit card debt elimination allocation of $350, your remaining balance would be $125. Take that $125 and apply it towards the credit card with the highest interest rate.

Once the credit card with the highest interest rate is paid off, you’re going to take the money you were paying towards that card each month (in this case, it’d be the $125 plus the $75 minimum monthly payment) and pay that $200 towards the card that now has the highest interest rate in addition to the minimum monthly payment. Keep repeating this process until you have achieved total credit card debt elimination.

5. The Fruits of Your Labor

Once your credit cards are all paid off, take half of what you were paying towards your debt and put it into a savings account. This will help you avoid having to rack up credit card debt in the future.

What are you going to do with the other half? Take that half and apply it to the things you were doing without while pursuing credit card debt elimination. After all, once credit card debt elimination is achieved, you do deserve to treat yourself.
