Debt Solutions: Your 12 Ways Out of Debt (Part 5)
Being in debt is challenging, especially when making ends meet feels impossible. Debt is a complex issue, but there are multiple avenues for relief. This article explores 12 common methods used by many to eliminate their debts. Among these, you may find one or more strategies to address your financial challenges effectively.
Previously, we covered nine solutions:
1. Self Repayment Plan
2. Debt Settlement
3. Debt Consolidation
4. Debt Consolidation Loan
5. Credit Counseling
6. Cash-out Refinance
7. Retirement Benefits
8. Credit Union
9. Insurance
If you missed them, please refer to Parts 1 through 4 of this series. In this final part, we explore the remaining three debt solutions:
- Home Equity Loan
- Credit Card Balance Transfer
- Bankruptcy
Home Equity Loan
A home equity loan allows you to borrow against the equity in your home. Equity is calculated by subtracting your outstanding mortgage from the market value of your home. This loan enables you to access funds without selling your property.
These loans often come with attractive rates and low payment plans. You can leverage your equity to obtain funds to pay off debts. Lenders may let you borrow up to a certain percentage of your equity ?" sometimes up to 100%.
Credit Card Balance Transfer
With a good credit rating, you can request a lower interest rate from your current credit card companies. Ask them about their rates if you transfer other balances to them. Negotiate for a fixed rate and a waiver of processing fees. If current issuers don’t offer favorable rates, consider obtaining a new card with better terms and transferring your balances there. Ensure you have a solid repayment plan to eliminate your debt.
Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy should be considered only as a last resort. While it quickly clears your debts, it has long-lasting effects, staying on your credit report for 7-10 years.
Common bankruptcy filings are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Chapter 7 is often preferred for its simplicity and speed, requiring no ongoing payments.
Given its consequences, explore all other debt relief options before choosing bankruptcy. If it remains your final option, take steps to rebuild your credit afterward.
