Get Out Of Debt Now!

Do you know someone who financed Christmas using credit cards or loans? They are not alone. Many people do this in an effort not to disappoint their children.  But at what cost?

As debt increases, it could be more difficult to make regular payments.  If someone is making only the required minimum payment on a credit card, it could take  25 years or more to pay it in full. Don't believe it? Check your credit card statement.  Does anyone really want to do this?

One option is bankruptcy. However, bankruptcy is not a good option for some people.  It might be better to negotiate a reasonable payment plan with the creditor.  This is especially true if you have been sued or are being garnished.

The debt problem will not go away on its own.  Some people try to borrow their way out of debt, but this does not work.  Do something NOW to get started on the road to recovery!
