In reality, consolidating debt isn't always easy. If you have a lot of debt, it
can be hard to find a consolidation loan at a lower interest rate. And if you're
not careful, you can end up deeper in debt than when you started.
Your goal in consolidating your debt should be to lower your overall costs. To
accomplish this there are two things to keep in mind:
1. Get the lowest interest rate possible.
2. Have a plan to pay off your debts in 3 - 5 years.
Using Credit Cards
The good news about this method is that with a good credit rating, you may get a
much lower rate than other forms of debt consolidation loans. And since credit
card issuers don't require collateral, you aren't "risking the farm."
Call your current issuer to ask what interest rates they will offer you if you
transfer balances from other cards over to theirs. Go for a fixed rate if you
can get it, and ask them to waive any transfer fees. If you can't negotiate a
low rate with your current issuer, try shopping for a new card. But be careful!
Too many applications for credit in a short period of time can hurt your credit
rating.
Once you do debt consolidate this way, be sure to set up an optimal payment plan
so you can be debt-free in 3 - 5 years.
Home Equity Loans
With a home equity loan, you borrow against the value of you home, minus any
other mortgages. The two major kinds are: 1. A Home Equity Loan - a fixed amount
of money for a fixed period of time (sometimes at a fixed rate) and 2. A "Home
Equity Line of Credit" where you borrow up to a pre-approved credit limit
(interest rates usually variable) and can borrow again if you still have money
available.
These loans can offer attractive rates, low payments, and the interest is
usually tax-deductible if you itemize. Many issuers offer no or low closing
costs for these loans. Interest rates are often variable, however, and there's
always the risk that you can lose your home if you can't pay.
Cash Out Refinance
Refinancing your home and taking out money to pay off debts and bills (called
"cash-out refinance") is yet another way to tap the equity in your home. If you
can refinance at a substantially lower interest rate, you'll eliminate the high
interest costs of the debts you pay off, and you could even come out with a
lower debt payment than you have right now since rates are so low.
One option to consider: an interest-only loan. By lowering your monthly payment,
you can free up money to use toward paying down other high-rate debt or building
a retirement fund.
Make sure you understand the total cost of debt refinancing. Take any money
you've freed up by paying off other bills and use that to create an emergency
savings fund.
Traditional Debt Consolidation Loans
A debt consolidation loan is an unsecured personal loan, and the only collateral
you are offering for the lender's security is you. Because lenders consider them
risky loans, they're usually more expensive and not always easy to get if you
have a lot of debt.
If the interest rate is too high to make it worth it and the repayment term is
ten or fifteen years, you should probably consider another method of debt
consolidation. However, if the term and interest rate are right, this can be a
great way to actually save money in the end. (Check MoneyExtra for current
averages). Remember, to calculate the total cost of the loan from start to
pay-off.

Credit Counselling
Credit counselling agencies may help you get out of debt, though they don't
actually consolidate your debt. Instead, payment plans (usually with lower
interest and fees) will be worked out for all of your eligible debts. You'll
make one monthly payment to the counselling agency, which will pay all your
creditors.
Participating in a credit counselling program generally won't hurt your credit
rating, and if you stick to the plan you can be out of debt in three to six
years. But be careful which agency you work with. If the counselling agency pays
your bills late, you'll pay the price since you're still responsible to the
lender. It happens.
Debt Settlement
Debt settlement is another option that's become increasingly popular with
consumers who have a lot of debt and can't, or won't, file bankruptcy. You stop
paying your bills and instead make a regular monthly payment to the settlement
company. Your creditors contact them, and not you, about your overdue bills. As
your accounts fall further behind, the negotiation company will settle your
balances - usually for 50% of the balance or less (including fees) depending on
the debt. Most people can be out of debt in less than two years or less using
these programs.
It's not perfect. Your credit rating will be hurt in the short run and you must
be certain you're dealing with a reputable company or the money you pay each
month could disappear. Still, for consumers who can't shoulder the burden of
debt they have now, it can be a very good option. Retirement Loans
If you have a 401(k), 403(b) plan or certain types of pension plans, you can
borrow against your nest egg. (You can't borrow against your IRA.) It's easy,
with no income qualifications or credit check.
The key here is to borrow against your retirement account, rather than withdraw
from it early so that you don't end up paying taxes and a 10% penalty. Also, if
you leave or lose your job, you may have to pay your loan back immediately or
pay taxes and penalties for an early withdrawal.
These loans typically offer low interest rates, and interest is paid to you,
since you are the lender. While tapping your next egg like this can short-change
your retirement, so can costly debt payments. If you are in your 20's and 30's,
you obviously have more time to rebuild a retirement nest egg, but even if
you're in your 40's or 50's, you will want to weigh the cost of paying the high
interest of the debts over time, versus borrowing from your retirement account.
The return you get from paying off high-rate debts is guaranteed - while the
stock market isn't.
Rapid Debt Repayment
There is a mathematically optimal way to pay your debts. Choose a fixed level
monthly debt payment, and commit to it each month. Pay as much as you can on the
highest rate debt first, while payment the minimums on the rest.
I almost always suggest consumers with debt start by creating one of these
plans. Many people who do so find they don't even need to consolidate to get out
of debt in the next few years. They just need a debt plan and they can do it on
their own.
The biggest mistakes people make when it comes to debt consolidation are:
Not having a plan for paying the debt off after they've consolidated, and
Procrastination. Waiting for the "perfect" solution to come along almost always
means you'll end up deeper in debt. Choose your approach, and start getting out
of debt today!

HEALTH CHECK
If you feel the STRESS is affecting your health then it may be advisable to end the cause of the stress. It may mean a few changes in your life, but remember that you've probably ridden a bumpy ride so far and shown how resourceful you are; so to end the cause may not necessarily mean an ending of a chapter, but the starting of a new one. You are resourceful, you are competent, so therefore a new start is maybe just what you need. You will find an article about stress should you need it within this website.
