Bad Credit Debt Consolidation – Lower Monthly Loan and Credit Card Payment Subprime Blogger (blog)
16.12.09
In the beginning it is likely you will not have lower monthly loan and credit card payments but over the long run you will find that you will save a lot of money and those payments will drastically decrease. If you continue to go down the road you are currently going it could take several months and possibly even several years to even consider paying off some of the interest on a high interest loans.
If you are like most Americans and currently have a household average of eight credit cards then you are going to find it very difficult to pay off all the interest is building up on these cards. One way to combat this is to consolidate all of your cards on the one lump sum which in turn will lower the overall interest rate and will also reduce you to one monthly payment.
One of the biggest problems many people have is that with all of the bills and debts they have do they forget payments. When you forget a payment on your credit card or loan you will find that the interest rate drastically increases. This increase in the interest rate will cause you to pay much more money over the lifetime of the loan of the credit card.

debt consolidation?
Jun 12, 2008 by Nicole h | Posted in Personal Finance
Hello all, I have a question regarding debt consolidation. I have about 15k worth of debt and have tried applying to two companies for a debt consolidation loan and was denied both times. I thought about trying what one of the other posters suggested , writing to the individual companies threating a voluntary bankruptcy order. I have about 10k in the bank, but I don't want to borrow from that lender because I wouldn't be able to use the money in my account. My credit is only good. What other options do I have? Thanks
First thing, you do not need a debt CON-solidation loan. That fools you into thinking that debt is the problem when i is really just the symptom. The problem is the behavior that got you into debt. I know because I did it too, only with a lot bigger number than you. I will say that I am a huge fan of Dave Ramsey - I'll let you do your own research on his website.
First thing is: you must get on a budget and determine how much money you can throw at your bills each month. Stop investing until your bills are paid. Have a yard sale. However you can scrape up a dollar within legal means, do it.
Here is what I would do:
1) I would take $9K out of savings, leaving a $1K Emergency Fund
2) I would pay off debts from smallest to largest, regardless of the interest rate
3) I would then rebuild my savings to cover 3-6 months of household expenses.
After that, it gets fun when you get to keep your money and get rich.
Debt Is Dumb | Jun 12, 2008
Practically any type of loan can be wrapped into the debt consolidation process. Common types include finance charges, late fees and overdraft charges, credit cards, personal loans, utility bills, medical bills, car loans, store cards, gas cards and back taxes. A debt consolidation loan allows you to condense your monthly<!--payments into a single, simple bill, while lowering your interest rates and helping you pay down your debts more quickly and easily. It is also an essential tool in avoiding the much more serious step of declaring bankruptcy.
Unlike bankruptcy, in which debts are cancelled and your credit rating collapses completely, debt consolidation loans are essentially a type of refinancing, where several-->old loans are replaced with a new one that has more favorable terms. Your loan consultant will negotiate with creditors on your behalf, so you’ll no longer have to deal with harassing phone calls and daily mail.

If you have 10k in the bank, why not use half of it on your debt. That would make things much more manageable.

What is the best debt consolidation service?
Feb 22, 2008 by Ruffus | Posted in Credit
I have a few credit card that are past due and I'm not able to make the payments.
What is the best debt consolidation company to use?
Keep in mind, I'm not a home owner.
I'm not a student and actually I'm looking for a better answer than the obvious budget and make more money.
Stay away from any that charge a fee.
Most if not all of these companies will trash your credit.
What they do is not pay your creditors for months and then try and settle for less under the threat of bankruptcy. No special skills. They just don't pay.
Your creditors do not have to deal with these people because it is your debt.
Also, If they don't pay you creditors. You, and you alone are still responsible for the debt. Your creditors will sue you and not the company you hire.
heybulldog | Feb 22, 2008
if you are a student. i suggest that you take a student loan at a lower rate. seek your local bank for what type of student loan program they offer.
if not, continue to budget and spend less.
or make more money to pay off ur debt

I am assuming from your answer that you can't do this on your own because that's what I would recommend first. Have you tried to contact the credit card companies directly? Sometimes they will reduce their interest rate or even consider a partial write-off if you can then make the adjusted payments. (they consider some payment better than no payment!)
If you must go the debt consolidation route, I would only recommend one -- CCCS, Consumer Credit Counseling Services. There should be an affiliate in your area, just do a search on CCCS and your town.city or state. They are the most reputable and have been around the longest. There are lots of scam artists out there who say they will consolidate your debts and then just end up taking a lot of your money and not getting much to the creditors. CCCS does charge you and it should still be a last resort if you can't do it on your own.
Good luck!

How can I get debt consolidation with hospital bills and non credit card debt?
Aug 26, 2008 by A B | Posted in Credit
I have a bunch of hospital bills that really cost me in credit scores. I really want to try to consolidate it but I can't find anyone who does debt consolidation without credit card debt. Any suggestions?
Call the hospital and see if they have any programs that can help. Last month when I ended up in the ER with my gallbladder we got put on a payment plan where we only pay off $28 a month until the bill is gone. The surgeons office also worked out a plan where we actually only have to pay half of what the bill would have been (because my dingbat husband cancled our health insurance back in May *smacks head against wall*).

Go and sit down with hospital administration face to face. They will work with you.

Can debt consolidation have a negative impact on my credit profile?
Feb 12, 2009 by shargnu | Posted in Credit
How can debt consolidation affect my credit history/profile? How will it affect my credit score now? What if I want to buy a house within the next 2 years?
What if I want to buy a car within the next year?
yes it will neg. affect your score substantially. It may make it harder to get a home loan, but so will having several debts. You should try to pay off each account individually. Call your creditors to negotiate down the APR. You may have to wait on that house depending on what all negative info is in your report.
John C | Feb 12, 2009
Please do not consolidate. It is not free, they will lower your payments by increasing the length of time until you are debt free, and you will take a hit on your credit score. There is a better way.
A. Have a garage sale and sell anything that you no longer need or want.
B.Get a temporary part time job, if you have one, get another. The holidays are coming and there will be plenty of temporary jobs available. It is better to have a no fun year or two than a no fun decade.
Here is a plan that can help you. If you work the plan, the plan will work for you:
1. Make a budget. Make the budget a week before you get paid. A budget is not a punishment! It is a tool which will free you from ever having to worry about money again. Put everything in your budget. Especially those annual, biannual, or quarterly bills like car registration, insurance, etc. Give every dollar you are going to bring home the name of where it is going. Add an "emergency fund" category to your budget for 25 dollars and save up until you have 1000-1250 dollars. Your emergency fund will help keep you from getting into new debt because of an emergency. If you can, set up a direct transfer to a savings account for your emergency fund. That way it moves automatically and you don't even have to worry about it. You must cut your spending and live on less than you make.
2.First get current on all of you debts and make no more late payments. Stop using your credit cards immediately. Do not take on any more debt. Credit cards are like quicksand only the death is much slower. Make a list of all of your debts in order of highest interest rate to lowest interest. Use cash only for your spending from now on.
3.Pay the minimum due on all of your debts and then put your extra money towards paying off the highest interest one first. After you get that one paid off, you put the money you were paying on debt #1 (the minimum payment and the extra payment) towards debt #2. That will pay debt #2 off faster. When that is paid off, you put all three payments towards card #3 and that one will be paid off pretty quickly. As an example:
Debt #1: paid off
Debt #2: minimum payment from Debt #1+ Minimum payment from Debt #2 +extra payment
Debt #3: minimum payment
Debt #1: paid off
Debt #2: paid off
Debt #3:Mimimum payment from card #1+ minimum payment from Debt #2+ minimum payment from Debt #3+ extra payment.
That way, you will get them all paid off, on time, and pay the least interest. It will also help towards rebuilding your credit since you will no longer have any late payments. This works no matter how many different debts you may have.
4. After you get all of your debts paid off, add to your emergency fund until you have 6-12 months of income saved up. Put that emergency fund money into a liquid money market fund or into a Bank of America no-risk CD so that if you need the money you can take it out without penalty.
5a. When you have your emergency fund in place, add a category for "fun" to your budget. Save for a holiday, a vacation, a big screen, or dinners out, whatever goal you want. Remember to enjoy your life.
5b. When you have your emergency fund in place, start saving for your retirement. Join the 401(k) plan at work and contribute the maximum. Your employer probably matches at least part of your contribution so why give up free money? Open a Roth IRA and contribute the maximum on a monthly basis. If you start saving for your retirement now, you will probably retire a millionaire.
5c. When you have your emergency fund in place, start saving for your next car. Only buy cars, or other things that depreciate, with cash. Save up for a nicer car. That way you get the interest instead of paying the interest.
You can do it and it isn't as hard as you think. Just follow the plan.

How do you know which debt settlement or debt consolidation program to choose, when theirs 1000's out there?
Sep 07, 2007 by Russ M | Posted in Credit
How do you know which program is good and which one is right for you. I heard their is a way to check there beruo report or something, not sure what its called. How can you see the results and reputation of the debt settlement program or debt consolidation program.
Most of the debt repair/consolation/settlement companies want their fees up front and leave you credit trashed.
Check nfcc.org for listings legit non-profit credit counseling services. They can help you set up a budget and work out clearing up your debt.
You can tackle your debt yourself by putting every extra penny on the highest interest rate debt, while making minimum payments on the rest. When the highest is paid, move to the next, till they are all paid off.
It will take 2 or 3 years but if you work at it, you'll be out of debt with a good payment history.

go for a reputed one
The advantage of a debt consolidation repayment plan is that it prevents your creditors from harassing you as long as you go on making lower monthly payments. The drawback of the debt consolidation repayment plan is that all your credit cards are cancelled. You have to make the first payment for the program and an extra fee is levied every month. This fee can range from $10-$50 for all your creditors while others charge $5 for every creditor. This will set you back by about $30 each month that you would have otherwise used to repay your debt.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of debt consolidation?
Apr 11, 2006 by jimmyaven | Posted in Credit
I have two credit cards that I have used over 5 years ago and never paid back. The total of the two cards FIVE YEARS AGO was $1000. Of course, by now, it should be close to $3000 because of all the interests.
What does debt consolidation do? More importantly, can it REALLY remove or reduce the interest that built up over the last 5 years?
When doing a search for debt consolidation services, I get THOUSANDS of results. Which debt consolidation services are better?
Detailed answers would be appreciated.
Update: Am I correct to assume that if I leave the debt as it is, I can have it completely wiped off my credit card two years from now as if it never happened?
Hi, Jimmy:
First, I already answered a related question, so I've copied that answer below after the dashes.
If your number one objective is to simply improve your credit, you could just wait it out for another 2 years until the debt is 7 years old. You can then ask for it to be removed from your credit report. If this is your objective, then don't pay the debt. Records on your credit report are good from 7 years of last transaction so any payments or charges you make resets that 7-year clock.
Personally, I've never used a debt consolidation company because I've felt capable of trying the same tactics myself. Granted, these companies are professionals and may get special "deals" and privileges that I wouldn't get, but I've still been pretty pleased with my own results.
Before using a debt consolidation company, I recommend trying your own hand at it. Contact your creditors. Before you do, determine how much you can afford to pay in a monthly payment. Even better, if you have some money saved up as a lump sum, you can try to pay them off in a couple of chunks. The more money you can give them at once, the better your negotiating power.
If you're in collections, ask the creditors by how much they'll reduce the total amount owed if you pay now/in 30 days/in 60 days/within a year.
If you're not in collections yet, ask the creditors how much they'll reduce your total interest. Some companies (e.g. Discover used to do this) will even suspend interest entirely while you're in re-payment. Of course, you can't use the credit card during that time, but you're saving money and salvaging your credit.
Good luck!
-----------------------
There are several benefits to credit card consolidation:
- Convenience (only one or two payments)
- Easier to manage (less likely to forget a bill!)
- Possibly a lower combined interest rate
Generally, when companies help you by consolidating your credit cards, they contact the credit card companies on your behalf and try to negotiate a lower interest rate (you can do this on your own, by the way). Then, the companies can take one of several methods for that single consolidated payment. Options include...
- Financing your debt themselves and then THEY pay your creditors
- Helping you find a financier to consolidate your debt
- Having you roll all of your debt under one of your existing accounts and pay off the others
As such, credit card consolidation does not affect your credit rating. In fact, the results of consolidation are often positive simply because it's easier to manage and you may pay less interest.
All this being said, I've never used a consolidation agency because I never wanted to pay the fees. Instead, I contacted my creditors myself and asked for the best possible interest rate they could give me, and asked what kind of arrangements I could make to manage debt. In general, they all worked with me.
By the way, here's one thing to consider when paying off your debt: Bad credit falls off your credit report 7-10 years after your last transaction. So, if you have a liability that is 6 years and 10 months old, carefully consider whether you pay it off or not. If you touch that account at all, even if it's to pay it off, suddenly that 7-year period is renewed. So, the choice you have to make is: Do you want something that was bad and is now paid on your credit report for another 7 years, or do you just want it gone entirely?
There are some ethical questions there, too (e.g. if the debt was yours and you were above 18 at the time, you should pay the debt to be ethical). These are questions that only you can answer. But, when working with a consolidation company, make sure they only consolidate the accounts you want them to touch.
Good luck.

Debt consolidation is taking all your debt and consolidating them into one, supposingly smaller debt, thus reducing the amout of over all interest you are paying on several debts.
Debt consolidation companies are companies that act on your behalf talk to the companies you are in debt with, perhaps negotiate the debt down if you have not paid on it in awhile and perhaps it has gone to collections. Some or most of these companies are non-profit companies, however there is a charge of a percentage of what they save for you that is normally leveled against you.
You can do the same thing yourself by finding a company that will give you a loan to pay off all your credit card debt and other debt that you might have into one single debt, thus reducing your debts to a single debt with a lower monthly payment, and in most cases lower interest rate, but the interest rate will depend on your credit scores off your credit report. You don't have to have the top scores to accomplish this. Lower scores simply mean that your interest on your debt consolidation loan would be a little higher, though probably less than what you would be paying for all your credit cards and on the debt combined.
From what I gather you have two credit cards that you are behind in payment since you indicated you have 2 cards over a 5 year period that you have yet to pay back what you have used on them.
They have probably been sold to another company by now. this is called a charge off by the company that originally had your credit card debt. You, in some cases, can call those companies that have purchased your unpaid debt, make a bargin to pay them in one lump sum, say you are able to pay them 1/3 of what you owe. In this instant you stated that the debt was at one time $1000. If it was sold for that amount you might be able to pay if off completley for around $350.00, just make sure that if you do you ensure that the company send a piece of paper to the credit bureaus that the debt is "PAID" simply "PAID" this will cause your credit score to go up a little better than "PAID CHARGE OFF" which they will place on your credit report if you don't ask them to place "PAID" on your credit report.
I hope this has helped you in some way.

Being in Australia, I can't comment on what facilities are available. Go to a bank, or other financial institution and ask them what they offer.
First, and most important, DESTROY ALL your credit cards. No use consolidating debt if you just use it as an excuse to get into more debt.
Second, make payments that are about the same as you make on the total of all your payments at the moment. ie if you have 3 payments of $75.00, arrange your new loan so that your new monthly payment is about $200.00.
Now, to answer your question. Debt consolidation is getting one loan to pay out all your other loans. This means that you have only one payment per month to pay and that payment is a set amount. Depending on the terms of the loan the payment or the length of the loan may vary if interest rates go up or down.
With debt consolidation, you arange a personal loan which may be secured or unsecured at an interest rate which is far lower then your credit cards and often with reduced fees. Here, you may pay 15% to 20% interest on your cc but only 7% to 10% on a personal loan. A saving of between 5% and 13% on $3000.00 will be as little as $150.00 to as much as $390.00 in the first year.
The thing is that you have only one debt to pay, and destroying your credit cards stops ffurther debt.
Yes, it should help reduce the interest you pay on your debt. The only way you can eliminate it is to pay it off.
There is some great advice in the bible to everyone, not only Christians. It comes from Rom 13:8 and says " Owe no man any thing, but to love one another..."
I have debt, but I am heading to the place where I can be compliant with this Godly advice.

How much does it cost generally to pay a debt consolidation company?
Nov 06, 2008 by mbjb06 | Posted in Other - Business & Finance
I was wondering how much does it cost to pay a debt consolidation company to help you, because I want to know if it's worth it. I'm in so much debt making barely and I don't know what else to do. On payday I usually just have 100-200 dollars to myself because the rest goes to my bills.
Credit Counselors charge between $10-$50/month and get your interest rates cut a bit.
Debt Settlement companies usually charge about 15% of what you owe over the term of your program.
A mortgage debt consolidation will cost you from 1% to 4% of the amount you refinance.
What you should really look at is what is the total cost to get debt free, how long the program will take, and how low each can get your monthly payment.

Sorry to hear about your struggles, however there are better ways out than going through a debt consolidation company. So many of these places are ripoffs that take your money. Sit down and make a budget, starting with necessities first. See how much money you actually have to pay your debt. Decide how much you can pay each creditor and call them up and explain this. Ask them to lower your interest rate and show them your budget and they'll work with you. Go see Dave Ramsey's web site. www.daveramsey.com and buy the book total money makeover for $15. Good book on budgeting and understanding money. It will help you get this taken care of. Good luck!

I can afford the payments no problem, but in the long run, the interest may be more than what I could have paid if I was in a debt consolidation program. Does that make sense to you? Thank you for your time.
Please do not consolidate. It is not free, they will lower your payments by increasing the length of time until you are debt free, and you will take a hit on your credit score. There is a better way.

You can do it and it isn't as hard as you think. Just follow the plan.

Can I get a debt consolidation loan with bad credit?
Aug 04, 2007 by mrbearpro | Posted in Credit
I would like to get a debt consolidation loan for my outstanding debt from closed credit cards, old utility bills, etc
I have student loans, but I would like to consolidate them separatley and not through another loan.
Also, I have an auto loan, would the loan be able to cover that as well?
Please, real answers, and no opinions/judgements.
Thank You.
You probably could however the interest rate may be high. I would start with your own bank as they know you the best. I work as a customer service agent with GMAC where I deal with people asking about refinancing all the time and I refer them to their own bank or credit union. They might be able to work out a deal because you have a "professional/personal" relationship with them.

Student Loan Debt Consolidation Calculators Will Offer Mental Relief
When you're looking to get out of debt, you're more than likely under a lot of pressure. It's about this time that many people have the bill collectors breathing down their necks, calling them at dinner and even calling their bosses; it can be very stressful and it can cause even the most sane people to feel like running away from it all. However, all you need in this situation is a little student loan debt help. You can find that help with student loan debt consolidation companies. These companies will bundle your debt into one lump sum and then will offer solutions so that you can get out of debt faster and easier. These companies will usually have student loan debt consolidation calculators on their websites where they will tell you when they will be able to get you out of debt. This can be very freeing mentally as you'll finally be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Follow The Instructions
For these student loan debt consolidation calculators to work, you have to follow the organization's instructions to a T. Sure, the student loan debt consolidation calculators can provide mental catharsis but they're useless if you don't follow the organization's instructions. For example, if the organization tells you to mail off a monthly payment equal to X and you miss a few payments, you're not going to get out of debt anytime soon.
Beware Of Scams
Also, when you see a student loan debt consolidation calculator on a website, make sure you look out for scams. Try to gauge the professionalism of the company, navigate the site to see if they are legit and do an internet search on that company to see if anyone else calls it a scam. You can follow any debt consolidation calculator on the internet as they are merely tools to show you how they will get you out of debt but never actually send anyone any money until you're absolutely sure they are a legitimate company who actually wants to help you.
