How To Become Free From Debt
By plrprousers | July 27, 2009
So you are in trouble, your debts are becoming un-managable and you are finding it hard to cope. You feel that you have let your family down and fear how they will react if and when they ever find out about the scale of the problem. How familiar does the above sound? Many many people are in a similar situation and therefore you should not feel like you are alone. In reality there is no time for fear as it is action that is now required.
Now before you continue to read this article I would like to point out that I am not a financial adviser and that what I write in this article should not been as “financial advice”. It is always worth seeking the advice of a debt specialist before proceeding or making a decision etc.
Not everyone has access to a debt management specialist therefore we have to think about more realistic action to reduce our debts.
What we require is debt solution. At the outset we should seek help with family and friends being the first port of call. Even though it is likely to be extremely difficult to break the news to our loved ones regarding the fact that we are in debt and also about how much we are in debt, it is something that has to be done – the sooner the better.
After step one has been accomplished it is then time to move on to stage two. It is usually the additional interest that is charged on top of the debt that is what causes most people to struggle with the repayments and then before they know it they are in too deep with no possibility of a way out. Due to the fact that we are in a recession can actually work to our advantage.
The lenders are now writing off thousands of pounds worth of debt each and every day. They are in need of cash themselves and would much rather receive something than nothing. Contact each of the creditors and request that they freeze the interest payable, tell them what you can afford to pay and state that you do want to somehow pay the debt off. You should confirm your annual earnings by enclosing a copy of your payslip. Also let them know the true extent to your whole debt problem, for example what you owe to other companies.
You may well be surprised at how many of them write back to you with a positive response.
There are always alternatives of course including going for a no credit check loan however these are not a solution to becoming debt free.
Another alternative is to formulate a business cost reduction strategy; you can do this with the aid of a cost cutting specialist. This is where you obtain lower prices for things such as your telephone calls, electricity bills and even cleaning.
I wish you every success in your quest to become free from debt.
