If you are in debt, you might assume enrolling in a debt settlement or debt consolidation program is your best option. Chances are that one of these programs is your best debt relief choice. On that same note, you shouldn’t automatically overlook credit card counseling. Debt relief programs, like settlement or consolidation, help you get out of debt but you can benefit from the helpful tips that come along with credit card counseling.
Now, you will find that different credit counselors offer different types of services and share different types of tips. But, you can keep reading on to see a summary of what you might learn when incorporating credit counseling into your debt relief plan.
The “can of worms” they’re trying to sell you is way out of date. Everybody knows you cannot borrow yourself out of debt. You cannot make the payments now so how are you going to make them when they add their 15% fee to the debt they’ve negotiated down to 60% for you? Stop paying your credit card debt and stop worrying about it! You’ll have six months with a few late payment reminders before the bank is required to “write off” your account. Use those months to familiarize yourself with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
Credit Card Use: Many Americans are in debt because of their credit cards. If your debt was caused by credit card use, a financial planner or counselor can help you overcome this problem. If you owe a massive amount of money, they might suggest that you cutup your credit cards. Otherwise, they are likely to share some helpful tips that include proper credit card use which will prevent your debt totals from growing.
Which debt relief procedure is best for you? Consolidation sounds nice because it gets all your bills rolled into one loan, but settlement can reduce the amount you owe. Each has their pros and cons and a credit card counselor or financial planner can help you review your debt relief options and help you decide which one is best for your own personal financial needs.
There are two other interesting things you may not have realized that you’ve learned. You’ll probably have enough knowledge to pass the “certification” test to become a consumer credit counselor if you like being nice to people and putting them into programs with a 90% failure rate. The second thing you will have learned is how to become a debt collector, that is if you enjoy being mean to people on the phone and harassing them constantly but as Forest Gump says “that’s all I got to say about that.” The important thing is that you know how to get out debt.
