What are your options to become debt free?

Posted in Credit, Debt, Finance, Uncategorized by admin

Hello my name is Steve Bis and I have been assisting consumers that are in debt with their credit cards for a long time and know the negative effects it has on people’s lives. When you have credit card debt and know that this matter is no longer in your hands, you must make a choice on what to do and make it fast. You should not procrastinate until it is too late. As the majority of you must already know is that the debt collectors are not helpful when you contact them with problems regarding you statement. It’s pretty interesting the way it works because when you initially obtain the card they are the politest people while you are speaking with them. Then if you call them to dispute a past due or over limit charge and try to have it , they might let you off with one a year, if that agent is in a good mood. When it comes down to it what choices do you have? It’s not like you can discontinue making payments on your rent/mortgage or other requirements for your family to survive with day to day living expenses.

The credit card companies made over 17 billion dollars in over limit and late fees last year and it will be much higher this year. Now I am sure that it has happened to you, where you’ve gone and open your monthly credit card bill only to discover that your interest rate has nearly doubled or even tripled. It is bad enough trying to keep up with 8% or even the 7.9 % interest that they are charging on your credit cards. How are you suppose to deal with the higher payments now? It was dreadful enough to manage before the interest was raised. This is why many Americans are searching for other options such as credit card debt settlement vs. credit counseling, or bankruptcy. If you are not familiar with any of your options then I will offer you a little information on them.

Bankruptcy

Before 2005 bankruptcy was to be used for consumers who were going through severe financial hardships. Sadly it was misused by far too many debtors who wanted to avoid paying their debts. They didn’t want to be accountable for their misgivings. The credit card industry was sick and tired of this so they pushed to have the legislation updated. It is now referred to as the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection act of 2005. It would make it more difficult for many debtors to file for bankruptcy. Bankruptcy should only be exercised as your very last choice after you have explored every other debt relief method. Also you should contemplate the consequences that could come back later down the road. You would have to find a lawyer, go to court and that could run you a substantial amount of your hard earned income. There is also the problem of it being on your credit report for a long time. When you sign any important application or document you by law have to answer yes when inquired about your previous bankruptcy, so this does have a long lasting effect on your credit.

Consumer Credit Counseling

Everyway you turn, either it is advertised on the radio or television, you will hear about consumer credit counseling. A credit counseling firm will try to get the credit card companies to reduce the interest rate on your credit accounts. You then make one monthly payment to the credit counseling firm and they then make your payments to each one of your creditors for you. The down fall to this choice is even though they reduce your APR on your credit card accounts you very well may still pay back as much as 135% of what you currently owe.

This is because joining this kind of program you will still be paying back what the full original balance was plus some of the interest for around possibly five years or more. Almost seventy five percent of the individuals that are in these programs don’t graduate from the program for one reason or another. Another draw back to credit counseling is that if you have a income problem and are miss your monthly payment they will boot you out of the program straight away. They will also increase your interest back up and the creditors could keep you off the program for at least one year and on some occasions even longer. This might put you right back to where you began, if not in a worse predicament.

Credit Card Debt Negotiation (also known as debt settlement)

This is the option which can save you the largest amount of money. A competent debt settlement company will save you at least 40% of what you owe. The 40% should include all the fees as well. As with credit counseling, you will hear a lot of TV and radio ads all the time. These companies are opening up everywhere across the United States. Some of these companies try to make it appear like they have a magic stick and are going to make all your debt vanish out of nowhere.

There are also some companies that try to use religion to aquire the trust of people. No matter what company you choose it is your responsibility to do research on them. You should start with the BBB (Better Business bureau). You may be able to discover a lot about a company from them. If you find out that a company has only been in business for a little while and has a slew of complaints towards them, then you must avoid them. One more thing to keep an eye out for is how long has the company been in business. Some companies only make it a couple of years before they get shut down or get caught ripping people off. Then some of them only stick around to make as much money as they can and close down just to open up down the streetwith a different name] and will continue to do this until the FTC sues and jails them.

You need to feel comfortable with the person you are speaking with as well as the debt settlement company. If they are very pushy and trying to get you to sign a document within the first few minutes of the call you need to watch out. This is not a choice you want to jump into head first. Really, how can a company know they can help you out without going over your situation first? There are a lot of companies out there that only tell you all the good aspects about their program. They tell you not to worry about a thing. This is a very simple procedure and nothing bad can ever happen to you. That is a crock of you know what. It is not a very simple procedure and it is not right for every debtor. Some debtors still get duped by them because that company sugar coated everything and did not fully disclose everything. For a lot of people debt settlement can really get you back on your feet and out of debt in three years or less, while saving you thousands of dollars off your balance.

One more thing to think about is most of the companies earn all their fees within the first six months of the their program. Now consider this, what incentive will that company have to work out the best possible settlement on your behalf if they know that they are not going to earn any more money from you? There is none! So you see, if that company understands that why would they keep working on trying to get you a better settlement. This happens very frequently. They really don’t care at that point. They take anything your collectors’ offer, which means you pay more You need to seek out a company that makes its fees the old fashion way, by earning it. Make sure they answer all your debt settlement inquries. I hope this has given you a better understanding of the numerous options you have to becoming debt free. Thanks and have a good [night.

term insurance

Posted in Business, Finance, Financial, General, Uncategorized by admin

Modified Premium Whole Life Insurance is term insurance that protects you for your whole life, from the day you purchase the policy until you die, as long as you pay the premiums. It is a form of permanent insurance that accumulates cash value and is eligible to receive dividends. It differs from Whole Life in that it features a lower initial premium that remains level for the policy’s first five years. The premium increases in year six and remains at that level for as long as you own the policy.

Term Life Insurance

Posted in Business, Finance, Financial, General, Uncategorized by admin

Term life insurance is generally the least expensive and least complicated type of life insurance. It provides insurance protection for a specified period of time, such as 10, 20 or 30 years.¹Â If you die within the term period and the policy is in force, a death benefit is paid to your beneficiary. If you are still living at the end of the term, protection ceases unless your term life insurance policy is renewed. There is no “accumulation” element, or cash value with term life insurance.

Benefits of being out of debt

Posted in Credit, Debt, Financial, Uncategorized by admin

The depressing fact here in the United States is that most of our country is stuck in debt one way or another. The stats show that in the year 2007 the common family had $10,000 in bills owed to credit card companies The reason this circumstance is so depressing is because a large number of consumers in debt only make minimum payments. When you unite monthly minimum payments and extremely high interest you have a recipe for fiscal tradegy. This unforgiving financial position is referred to by many as being stuck on the credit card treadmill. When stuck in this position someone can foresee themselves being there for thirty years or more and pay out tens of thousands in interest before it’s all said and done. I would like to briefly review in the remainder of this writing on just a few of the benefits are to being debt free.

 The ability to save cash will be much simpler when not on the credit card debt treadmill. To save money is necessary to at some point in time realizing financial freedom. And being ensnared with overburdening amounts of credit card debt and only affording to pay the minimum amount owed each 30 days will greatly slow down your savings ability. So the first main benefit of becoming free of the burden of debt is the ability to save additional money.

The next benefit of becoming free from paying on debt obligations is interconnected to saving, and that is investing for the future. When you need to put out a great majority of your monthly income towards paying off credit card debts, than investing is merely a thought not an action.Investing your money and earning interest as a substitute for making payments on debts and losing your money because of paying high interest is the trick to becoming financially free. So as you can tell having monthly debt obligations will allow you to never invest for the future.

 Another great plus to being free of debt is having more money to spend wherever you please. Envision how much more pleasurable of a lifestyle you could live if all those funds going towards paying debts off you could keep? What would you do go to the movies more often or just simply have additional spending cash.

 As you can notice there are numerous benefits to living a debt free lifestyle. For debtors looking to become debt free there are options that can help. One especially popular procedure for debt relief is debt negotiation.Debt negotiation companies can help lower someone’s debt up to fifty percent of what they owed. Another alternative to running out of the debt jungle is credit counseling. Whichever route you take be sure to do something if you are stuck in credit card bills. Visualize what life would be like if you could do the things I mentioned above, saving money, investing money, or simply having additional spending cash.

Internet Businesses

Posted in Business, Economy, Finance, Investing, Uncategorized by admin

The internet has developed in recent years from initialy being a source of information and research for universities, to an online business phenomenon at the turn of the century. This was in turn followed by a massive financial dot-com crash, as financiers realised they had over invested in the internet startup companies and were never going to get their money back. In recent years however the internet had boomed again, with a more substantial and prudent financial model. Businesses on the internet are following good business practice now, and so everything is on a much more solid footing. It is still the home of individual entrepreneurs though, and as such you often have to deal with an individual rather than a corporation. This presents problems as it can be difficult to find out about them and their background. Try using a professional background research site to discover about the people you are thinking of entering into business with.

One bad thing about a chapter 13

Posted in Bankruptcy, Credit, Debt, Uncategorized by admin

Below is listed just one of the very negative aspects of filing for bankruptcy of any form. 

1. Bankruptcy has an extremely negative impact on your credit and becomes a lifetime public record!

A bankruptcy proceeding is one of the most extreme bad remarks that you could have put on your credit report. Thus making any more credit you attempt to get extremely hard, and if you do obtain credit it usually comes accompanied with a seriously elevated interest rate. Additionally, it will stay on your credit report for between 7-10 years. Even when it gets removed from your credit report it remains a public record for the duration of your existence. So whenever you try for new loans at any point in the future, if asked the question whether you have ever gone through a bankruptcy proceeding to avoid breaking the law you must answer yes.

 If possible it would be best to avoid bankruptcy, perhaps look to see if you qualify for a debt settlement program.

3 Debt Relief Methods

Posted in Credit, Debt, Financial, General, Uncategorized by admin

We here in U.S are on the edge of experiencing a major credit problem. The sum of unsecured debt has hit an all time high and we are approaching what may be a recession. Thus leaving a plethora American families with fewer dollars in there pockets and more bills to take care of. In this writing I will review the pros and cons of the diverse available methods of credit card debt relief.

Consumer Credit Counseling:

Pros- Monthly payments are consolidated into just one, lower APR, fixed payment not minimum payment.

Cons- Long term repayment, stringent program rules, low graduation rate, hard to obtain mortgage on program, payments are not very low, the creditors will kick you off the program if one payment is late or missed.

Bankruptcy:

Pros- Upon qualifying for Chapter 7 full amount of debt is discharged, avoid collection calls.

Cons- Long term negative effect on future credit, made a public record for the rest of the debtors life, change in bankruptcy law made Chapter 7 very hard to qualify for, court ordered repayment process.

 Debt Settlement :

Pros- Great savings on debt amount owed, by far quickest route of getting out of debt, not made a public record.

Cons- Short term negative effect on credit rating, collection calls, possibility of lawsuit.

 All of the above methods do have their respective pros and cons. However what really determines which system is proper for you really depend on the current monetary situation that you are in. For debtors stuck deep in debt but have money to pay a portion of it off then debt settlement would be best, to help avoid bankruptcy. Those who have smaller amounts of debt and have no problem making the monthly minimums plus more, than credit counseling is better. However there are some people out there who have literally no choice but to go into a bankruptcy proceeding.

Domain Names and how they work

Posted in Business, Helpful Information, Marketing, Uncategorized by admin

Registering a domain name doesn’t automatically make your Web site appear when visitors enter your domain into a Web browser. You have to upload your Web site to a computer that hosts the site and assigns a numeric address, called an IP address, to your domain. Your domain and associated IP address are stored in a database with every other domain and associated IP address. When visitors enter your domain into a Web browser, your domain works like an address forwarding service by forwarding visitors to the IP address where your Web site is stored. I use domain names instead of IP addresses because most people find it easier to remember a name rather than a series of numbers.

 Why would anyone want to go this route of debt relief.  Simple the savings of money and time.  Settlement is the fastest way to get out of debt and save money without filing for bankrupcty.  Which is not a very pleasant process to say the least.
