Question: Should I use a personal loan or debt management program to pay off my credit card debt?

I have about $25,000 of debt but can still pay monthly payments on time and have never missed a payment.

If I try to get a personal loan as opposed to a debt management program, which looks better to creditors?? My credit score is around 650-670. I am thinking of going to a non-profit credit counseling agency to see what they think.

I still have some stocks and bonds totaling $6,000. I do get paid consistently and have been trying some internet surveys to make some small money on the side to my job.

What things should I look for at the credit counseling agency?

Entering Into Credit Counseling With A Debt Management Program?

Question: Entering into credit counseling with a debt management program or … ?

I am entering into a debt management program with a credit counseling company. I have about $17,500 in debt and my payment with the company would be about $400 a month.

My question is, would creditors be willing to accept 1/2 of the minimum balance that is due actually? I have 3 cards I’m in debt with, $285/month, $185/month, $165/month respectively.

I’m already 2 payments behind with 2 of the cards. Would the credit card companies accept a personal offer of 1/2 the usual minimum for a certain time frame? So I’d offer them $142.50, $92.50, $82.50.

Or since I’m already behind on payments should I stick with the debt management program (I just signed on and have to make my first payment on 2/28) and wait until I’ve been in the program a few months and then try to talk personally to my creditors and see what I can offer at that time??

Please advise. Thanks.

What Happens If You Get Out Of A Debt Management Program?

Question: What happens if you get out of a debt management program?

I’m a 22 year old full time college student with a part time job.

About three months ago I joined a debt management program because I thought it would be easier for me to manage my credit card bills that way.

However now after joining, I’m realizing that I’m unable to keep up with the payments I’m making to them. It’s like after my other bills and this payment are taken out every month, I hardly have any money left and I think I’ve put myself in a bind.

If I leave the program now will this mess up my credit, will it make it harder for me to join a debt management program in the future, will my creditors be resistant to work things out with me in the future because of this?

I simply just can’t afford to be in the program now.

Question: How do I create a debt management programme?

I did an internet search and all lead me to already established debt management programs. I want to set up my own debt management program, which can negotiate with creditors, consolidate loans etc… How do I get started?

I reiterate: There are literally thousands of debt management, consolidation, counseling websites and resources. I am not looking to manage my own debts, I am looking to start a debt management program for other people.

I want to know what grants to apply for to begin a start up program. I want to know what regulations, fees, licenses I need to start my own debt management program so that others can come to me for debt consolidation services.

AKPK's Debt Management Plan Is A Way Out Without Filing Bankruptcy

AKPK Debt Management Plan (DMP)Why are you in deep credit card debt?” Is it because of excess spending that causes you to default on your credit card payments or is it due to the pay cut or job loss brought about by recessive times?

As for me, my credit card debt (hubby and mine) was caused by excess spending and insufficient income. There was always not enough income (from both of us) to pay the credit card payments, daily expenses, car and home loan instalments.

Whenever there was insufficient money to pay the minimum credit card payments, withdrawing cash advance from credit cards was always the solution to settle the payments.

As a result, more credit card debt incurred due to cash advances, cash advance fees, late payment charges and other miscellaneous fees imposed by banks.

Just as I thought filing for bankruptcy was the only way out to get rid of staggering credit card debt and harassing phone calls and warning letters from the creditors and credit card companies, AKPK saved me (and hubby) from declaring bankruptcy.

Regardless of why you are in debt, you need to know that there is a way out without resorting to bankruptcy. You can get out of your situation through AKPK’s debt management plan if you are a Malaysian.

The AKPK’s debt management program is individually designed to provide you with a unique solution for your financial situation; it keeps you from having to take out a debt consolidation loan or file for bankruptcy.

If you think that a debt management program is right for you, it is important to make sure that you know perfectly well the pros and cons of enrolling in a DMP.

AKPK’s debt management plan is a way out to get rid of credit card debt without filing for bankruptcy for me, but it does not necessarily suit you.

You yourself have to attend the credit counseling briefing to know the ins and outs or the pros and cons of the debt management programme before making a decision.

A Debt Management Program When You Can No Longer Pay Your Credit Card Debts

What happens when you can no longer pay your credit card debts or credit card payments? Well, you have the option of a debt management program to help bring you back to right financial track.

Debt management program, also known as debt management plan, is individually designed to consolidate all your multiple credit card payments into one lower payment.

The debt management repayment is often made affordable to you so that you can pay all your credit card payments.

Of course, a debt management plan is NOT an option for you if you are already at advanced litigation process or involved in bankruptcy.

If you find that a debt management program is right for you after a credit counselling session, your credit counsellor will start negotiating with your creditors to lower the credit card monthly payments, reduce the interest rates, and waive late payments and over-the-limit charges.

Often times, your creditors or banks will agree to the affordable repayment plan just so they can receive any amount of payment towards the balance you owe them.

As a credit card debt woman who is now in a free debt management program, I must admit that it is a great solution for helping me get rid of my credit card debts.

The DMP not only allows me to pay ONE lower repayment every month, it also stops the wave of annoying or even threatening phone calls or warning letters from the banks and credit card companies.

Signing up for a debt management program is easy; it’s a matter of finding a credit counseling and debt management company you feel comfortable with that is difficult.

Make sure you find a credit counselling and debt management agency that will work best for you. Remember, you want the right debt management program to put an end to your pestering debt problem, not creating more debt.
