Even as debt consolidation may not be the solution for many individuals, it is useful means during a time of low rates of interest or there already is adequate equity built-up in your property that you may need to arrange a remortgage or second mortgage.
2.“Debt management”.
This type of debt solution is for individuals who opt not to refinance all their current debts and the other choice is to make contact with their creditors in anticipation of reducing their monthly payments.
However, this solution is most successfully accomplished through hiring a professional debt or loan managers.Your debt manager will obtain your financial statement in order to find out and establish how much you can manage to pay monthly your creditors after you have paid your overheads and living costs.
This extra or remaining money is then divided on a “pro-rata” basis between your creditors and presented as a portion of an informal agreement between you and your creditors.
Since debt management agreements are informal, it is important to note that they can anytime be called off by any of your current creditors. While this can be a great risk, your reliable debt manager generally will bring seriously work on your case ensuring that arrangements made are more strictly observed.
3.'Bankruptcy'.
This is the most extreme type of debt solution available but should be carefully considered, especially if your situation is really bad.
In certain cases however, bankruptcy can be your best option. However take note that once you declare bankruptcy, you can be locked-up to it typically for several years. Bankruptcy long-term consequences include not being able to have credit access, open up a current bank account or be in specific kinds of businesses.
Bankruptcy must be your last resort so to solve all your financial difficulties. It must only be utilized after you have explored all other types of debt solutions.
Keep in mind that debt solutions take approximately three-five years until you are totally debt free. At this time, you are required to surrender all your credit cards with the exception of just one and control all extravagant expenses.
Debt solutions are types of financial reconstruction and will not adversely reflect on your credit. Creditors in fact view this as a constructive effort on the road to better “financial management”.
