Debt Elimination

Why Do We Need Debt Elimination?

Maybe it's because Americans bought $2 trillion worth of stuff on credit in 2004. Or because current outstanding debt in America stands at $800 billion. Or because the average amount of unpaid credit card debt for families who have it is $12,000. Or maybe it's because the average amount of debt per person in the U.S. is over $7,000. Now more than ever, we're a nation in need of debt elimination.

How Can I Achieve Debt Elimination?

With so many different debt elimination programs out there, there's no excuse for not being able to achieve total debt elimination. It might take a little patience, but it pays off in the end. Think about this: A $10,000 debt at 18.5% interest typically takes 32 years and $24,500 to pay off if you don't pay more than the required monthly minimum. But when you enroll in a debt elimination program, you lower your interest rate dramatically, allowing more money to go towards the principle, and the same amount of debt could be paid off in about five years.

There are a variety of different debt elimination programs. For example, a credit card debt elimination program can help you eliminate credit card debts. Here's a brief outline of some of the most basic debt elimination programs:

Student Loan Debt Consolidation - Combines all of your outstanding student loans into one and locks in a much lower, fixed interest rate for you. Your monthly student loan payments are cut in half, too, because you are given more time to pay them off.

Debt Settlement - This debt elimination program allows you to pay off your debts at 30-50 cents on the dollar. Generally, you have to have the money all at once, but some debt management companies will give you one to three years to pay it off.

Debt Consolidation - A debt elimination program that involves negotiation to get your unsecured debt balances and interest rates lowered. Then the new, lower balances are combined and you make one monthly payment to the debt consolidation company, which they distribute among your creditors. Because of the reductions, you can become debt free in about five years.

Debt Consolidation Loan - A loan given to you to pay off your unsecured debts. You pay off your unsecured debts immediately, but you still have the loan to pay back. The benefit is that the interest rate on the loan is so much lower that you can have it paid off in five years or less.

Debt Consolidation Mortgage - Allows you to borrow from the equity in your house to pay off your unsecured debts. Your payment is combined with your mortgage, and you get the same interest rate as your mortgage. In some cases, the interest is even tax-deductible (check with your tax advisor to see if this will work for your tax situation).
