DEBT CONSOLIDATION
Unfortunately, a Debt Consolidation Loan is one of the most common solutions people think of when they fall into financial difficulties.This is a problem because most people who obtain a debt consolidation loan find themselves in much deeper financial trouble thanthey were in to begin with. A debt consolidation loan will not reduce the amount you owe. You will still have to pay back 100% of theloan plus interest. The interest rate may be lower than before, but this is because debt consolidation loans are secured loans, andthis is a
HUGE PROBLEM
. Once you sign up for a consolidation loan, you have just gone from an unsecured debt to a secured debtand have put your personal assets (e.g. your car or home) at risk. Now if you can’t pay your bills, your creditors can come and takeyour property away from you.
CONSUMER CREDIT COUNSELING (CCC)
The main problem with CCC organizations is that they are not working for you, they are
WORKING FOR THE CREDIT CARDCOMPANIES
. This may seem unbelievable, but it is true. Most CCC agencies are alleged non-profit organizations that claim to beindependent. But in fact, these non-profits are funded and supported by the very people you owe money to –the credit cardcompanies! That is why CCC companies do not negotiate your debtsdown. They merely try to come up with a plan to make sureyou keep paying your credit card bills. In addition, many large CCC companies have been the subject of major lawsuits, and the IRShas recently stopped granting non-profit status to credit counseling firms. At FDR, we receive nopayments from your creditors, soour incentives are perfectly aligned with yours -saving you the most money. This allows us to (i) lower your monthly payments; (ii)put you on a shorter program; and (iii) save you the maximum amount of money.
BANKRUPTCY
Bankruptcy is a way to potentially get out of your debts. Unfortunately, it leaves a long lasting scar, and comes at a high price -financially, emotionally, and socially. It can be a long and painful process and the repercussions can last for over a decade. Thefinancial impact is severe; a bankruptcy will stay on your credit report for 10 years. Every time you apply for credit, whether it is ahome, a car, a lease, or insurance, you could be impacted. The long-term effect of higher rates can greatly outweigh the shorter-termimpact of filing bankruptcy. Additionally, most people do not realize that bankruptcy can stay on their court records for up to20 years-which means it can follow someone for the rest of his/her life.If you apply for a job, a loan, rent an apartment, or even insurance,your bankruptcy filing could be easily uncovered. What's more, with the new bankruptcy reform bill, it has become much moredifficult to declare Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If you are considering bankruptcy, you should think about contacting a lawyer to discussthis option.
DO NOTHING
Sadly, this is the choice for millions of Americans who are struggling with their debts. Most of these people keep doing whatever theycan to continue making minimum payments for the rest of their lives. This is a no win situation. If you keep making your minimumpayments, you will be paying mostly interest and will remain in debt for as long as 20-30 years. And if you can’t keep making thepayments, the creditors will start calling. If you continue to ignore their calls, you can end up with judgments and garnished wages aswell as liens against your property."
