Do you have Credit Card Debt of More than $5,000?

“A budget is just a method of worrying before you spend money, as well afterward” Anonymous

The major question, you need to ask yourself can I work within a structured budget to get me out of my financial mess? If the answer is yes, then a debt settlement program may be right for you at this time.

By using a debt settlement program, you will be to stop the endless cycle of making only the minimum monthly payments on your credit cards and making no headway on your balances. This program has you saving a percent or set amount each month and as that balance grows, it allows the settlement process to being.

Here is an example:

As any example, if your current monthly minimum payment are at $750 and this is a struggle but you could pay $450 a month. Then it would take approximately 12 months to become debt free using a debt settlement program. Does that see too easy. Will it’s not! It will require a stead fast need to save and control your current spending. But by choosing a debt settlement program, you will be free of the constant worry of how do I pay my bills on time and get myself out of debt.

As you can see from the chart, you could be able to settlement for almost half of your outstanding credit card balance. You need to ask yourself, how long would it take to off of my credit cards by myself? If you make only the monthly minimum, you a basically paying only interest and very little principal. So it could take you more than 8 years to paid off your debt verses using a debt settlement program.

Con 2 – Being in credit counseling is marked on your credit report. Each creditor who you include in your program will probably note on your credit report that you are in credit counseling. Most often I have seen it noted something like: “Customer in CCC”. This notation supposedly doesn’t hurt your credit score, but it definitely will impact someone who reviews your credit report looking to make a decision about giving you credit.

Con 3 – If you are trying to get a mortgage, some loan programs won’t allow you to qualify if you are in the program. The viewpoint on credit counseling has gotten better over the years, but in some cases, in terms of loan qualification, being in credit counseling is looked at just as bad as bankruptcy. Again, this doesn’t seem quite fair as you put yourself into credit counseling so you could pay your debt, make things right, and avoid going bankrupt. Go figure.

Con 4 – This is only a problem if you don’t start the program correctly. When you are going to start a credit counseling program it could take several months for the program to be set up to start paying your creditors. You must make sure that you continue to pay your creditors until your payment plan starts. If you don’t make sure these bills get paid and you had good credit your credit will suffer dramatically.
