Are There Solutions To Debt?

By Pal Heiden


There are a lot of ways to quickly pay down your debt that don't require declaring bankruptcy. One of the most useful methods is using a debt consolidation loan. These loans are used to quickly pay down any and all outstanding debts, and transfer the debt to the consolidation agency. Sometimes debt consolidation agencies will want a piece of collateral, or a down payment before issuing their loan, but very few agencies will deny you based on your credit score. As long as you can prove that you receive some sort of recurring income, you are eligible for a consolidation loan.

When the federal government gets involved with debt consolidation, they personally go and work with your creditors. They will negotiate the best deal possible, and figure out a realistic payment schedule. They have trained professionals that will look at your budget and determine what is possible to pay, and what you really need to have on hand for personal emergencies and daily living. The interest rate will be low enough that you are actually able to pay it off. Overall, everything that is set up for you will be well within your budget.

The consolidation agency would work directly with the creditors, and attempt to negotiate better rates. Once they make a deal, the borrower is sent some paperwork to sign, and his consolidation goes into effect. No more paying multiple creditors each month, just one lump sum sent to the consolidation agency.

They will quit calling your house, and they will quit calling your work. You will take a hit on your credit report right out of the gate, but this is only due to closing so many accounts at the same time. Your credit score will float up and up after you are able to show action in your consolidation loan.

They prefer around six months worth of payments as a down payment so if the borrower ends up having problems, they have some time to sort it out. You might think that is seems funny that you would need to pay an agency for them to pay you right back, but your ability to secure enough money for a down payment shows that you have at least some financial abilities.
