Debt Consolidation: Its all in the Planning

If you're like thousands of other people who find themselves deeply buried in debt, facing a daily barrage of creditors and bills, and wondering how on earth they are ever going to dig themselves out of this hole, a debt consolidation re-mortgage could be your best bet.
By consolidating all of your bills into a single, easy to make, monthly payment you are able to get a handle on your debt before it gets any more out of control than it already is.
There are many different debt consolidation re-mortgages available, but all share the same common denominator - namely that they will only work at their optimum level if you plan for them.

Planning can help to overcome your debt problem much more quickly, and if you have bad credit, will also help you build your credit back up. Each debt consolidation re-mortgage company should have the same goal - namely to help you plan the best way to get out of debt...and then stay out.

By taking into account all of your present debt, along with things such as credit cards, loans and such, the debt consolidation re-mortgage expert can help you not only consolidate your debt, but can also show you how to eliminate much of your debt by getting rid of unnecessary credit cards and lowering premiums. Each debt consolidation plan is uniquely tailored to the individual as no two individual will have the same exact financial situation, or need the same amount of debt consolidation.

A good debt consolidation plan will allow you to consolidate all (or most) of your bills and to pay less then you are presently paying. This plan will take into account how much you earn, how much equity you have, and other such factors, and will allow you to pay less, over a short period of time, rather then having "one more debt" to worry about. This will allow you some "breathing room" to concentrate on building your credit, and eventually will allow you to be free from debt, once and for all.

What The FTC Says About Bankruptcy

The FTC defines Bankruptcy as:

Personal bankruptcy generally is considered the debt management option of last resort because the results are long-lasting and far-reaching. A bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years, and can make it difficult to obtain credit, buy a home, get life insurance, or sometimes get a job. Still, it is a legal procedure that offers a fresh start for people who can't satisfy their debts.

People who follow the bankruptcy rules receive a discharge - a court order that says they don't have to repay certain debts.

There are two primary types of personal bankruptcy: Chapter 13 and Chapter 7. Each must be filed in federal bankruptcy court. The filing fees run about $185 for Chapter 13 and $200 for Chapter 7. Attorney fees are additional and can vary.

Chapter 13 allows people with a steady income to keep property, like a mortgaged house or a car, that they otherwise might lose. In Chapter 13, the court approves a repayment plan that allows you to use your future income to pay off a default during a three-to-five-year period, rather than surrender any property. After you have made all the payments under the plan, you receive a discharge of your debts.

Known as straight bankruptcy, Chapter 7 involves liquidation of all assets that are not exempt. Exempt property may include automobiles, work-related tools, and basic household furnishings. Some of your property may be sold by a court-appointed official - a trustee - or turned over to your creditors. You can receive a discharge of your debts through Chapter 7 only once every six years.

Both types of bankruptcy may get rid of unsecured debts and stop foreclosures, repossessions, garnishments, utility shut-offs, and debt collection activities. Both also provide exemptions that allow people to keep certain assets, although exemption amounts vary. Note that personal bankruptcy usually does not erase child support, alimony, fines, taxes, and some student loan obligations. And unless you have an acceptable plan to catch up on your debt under Chapter 13, bankruptcy usually does not allow you to keep property when your creditor has an unpaid mortgage or lien on it.

Experts recommend to consumers and business owners that "alternatives" to bankruptcy be fully explored before proceeding, learn the leading alternative "Debt Arbitration" at:
