Credit Card Debt Negotiation Tips – How To Legally Settle Your Credit Card Debt
Credit Card Debt Consolidation
Credit Card Debt Consolidation services can make it happen, and there’s no doubt about it. There’s no reason to delay and nothing to lose. Credit card debt consolidation can also help you avoid creditor harassment , one of the main elements that trigger stress induced health problems. Credit card debt consolidation usually makes the combined balance more manageable especially if a lower interest rate is provided. But, if there are multiple other accounts involved that were not part of the consolidating effort, it may take some time to get them all reduced to a manageable level.
Typically, when a customer buys a product with his card or uses his card as an alternative for hard cash, he is offered an interest free credit period. The customer has to make a payment for the credit used on the card before the credit period ends. Typically, debt consolidation programs are debt repayment programs. They can consolidate most types of unsecured debts from major credit cards to personal and student loans. Typically the interest on a debt consolidation loan is approximately 17-23%. That?s a hefty amount of interest that may actually be more than you are currently paying on your debt.

Credit Card debt consolidation is a short term answer to a much broader problem. Credit card debt consolidation is an agenda where the debt settlement company directs the debtors in reducing their debts through a monthly compensation of a fixed amount. Debt elimination is not similar to a loan program. Credit card debt consolidation gives you an opportunity to reduce your debts under single lower monthly payments. Thus you get rid of all high rate credit card debts and replace them with the new low monthly payments.

debt is something that many people struggle with and if you let it get out of control it will consume you and your life. Learn the snowball affect. That means start paying off you lowest amount first. Take the amount and pay more than that. and while doing this you need to pay the minimum of the other debts. then when the lowest amount is paid off you take that amount you were paying for it and roll it into the next lowest debt. this is what we in the finance industry call the snowball effect. It works and works well. Good luck paying off your debt and don't let it consume you.

Is this an APR example? It is unrealistic for 17% per month. The APR on 17% is about 1.5% interest for each month.

If you are 90 days past due, it is already a negative on your credit. The credit card company will probably be sending you to collections.
At this point, you can try to work out a settlement with credit card company but they are not going to accept small payments over a long time. If you want to settle for less than the full balance, you will have to have a lump sum. The account would be noted on your credit report as charge off/paid — a negative. You would receive a 1099 for the forgiven portion which would have to be included in your income tax return.
Have you considered credit counseling? Check here for a NFCC member: http://www.nfcc.org/. These are legit, non-profit credit counseling companies. They offer debt management progams for a small fee. They don't settle your debt. They negotiate lower interest and payments so that you can pay off all your debt.
While in the program, it is noted on your credit report. However, upon completion, that notation is removed and you will have decent credit.

Transfer your current credit card balance to an interest free card. This usually gives 9 months to pay off. Make paying off the debt your main priority above everything else. If you have balance at the end of the 9 months on the said card, transfer to another of the same free interest.By the way the credit card should not be used for any more purchases whatever. The sole purpose is to pay over all monies owing

I never have had a credit card but i heard they charge so much interest because the money you borrow that the bank is also borrowing that money and paying interest on it as well which you pay for on top of what they would be charging..is that right?

This video isn’t off because if you keep spending on your credit card then the payments will continue.

…But if you dont buy with credit the economy will collapse, because the banks have set up a system where money originates from credit. No credit no money and the economy collapses. The volume of money in the USA economy, the M1, M2 and M3 is the result of the banks loaning money they dont have. If you dont buy anything with credit someone else is going to, causing the price of things to go up. When there is more money money is worth less. So even if you dont buy with credit, you are paying

You have to make the payment agreement with the one that is suing you.
You should offer a percentage of the debt. You should stipulate in the agreement – if they agree to take a percentage, after payment, they will agree that the debt is paid and no longer collectable.
Be sure to have the agreement in writing!!!
Be sure that when you come to an agreement and when you pay that both the agreement and the payment is filed in the case file !!!

I don’t have any credit cards, debit cards, checking accounts or interacts. Cash and cash only, that way my spending for a day is only what I have in my wallet. So if I take $20 with me, my limit is $20 and nothing more.

Spiff! Man you are starting to disappoint me something terrible!
The definition of a "written" contact is one where all of the payment issues are completely spelled out. The monthly payments, the timeframe, everything.
An "open" or "revolving" credit line does not fall into this catagory because the terms of the agreement change every month. One month you owe $200, and the next you owe $400…..and each month you have a varying amount of payment. You can pay it off, and then run it right back up again….that's why they call it a 'revolving" line of credit.
This is also clearly spelled out in the US UCC codes, and many states specifically label credit card debts as open accounts.
Georgia is one state that specifically labels credit cards as NOT being a written contract. Please refer to the link below.
Once again….poor answers with no source of information cause a lot of damage here on Yahoo. If they don't provide you with a source for further examination it's best not to believe it.

So just don’t pay. Cut up your credit cards and forget it.

Have you lived in it for at least 2 of the last 5 years? If so, there's no capital gains tax from the IRS, and the money is yours to spend as you wish.
Glenn is correct – This all depends upon what you'll do with these newly cleaned up credit cards….. It's a falacy that people can get out of debt by placing all their credit card debt onto their house. They usually run up their cards again in a few years and are then worse off than before.
Put the money to the house. Start paying EXTRA to your credit cards. Start cutting up your credit cards. Then start sending extra to your house.
FREEDOM!!!!!!

Typically the SOL starts from the date or last activity or last payment — not the breach.
The first missed payment would constitute a breach of the contract. At that point the creditor should have taken action to collect the debt, including filing lawsuit if needed.

Very good example and demonstration. This is true to the fullest. In case anyone wants to see the math it goes like this…
10,000 – 142 = 9,858
9,858 * .17 * 1 / 12 = 140
9,858 + 140 = 9,998
Real amount paid to credit card company = 10,000 – 9,998 = $2.00

Credit is essential. At some point in your life you’ll need to borrow money and that’s where credit (credit score/reports) come into play. The key is to manage credit responsibly. This video is true when it comes to minimum payments.
