Using a Debt Consolidation Program to Remove Credit Card Debt

Debt consolidation companies offer programs and services for credit card debt, loans, and other bills. Get help consolidating your credit cards into one low payment.

Philadelphia, IL (prHWY.com) March 1, 2012 - There are instances when an individual or household could find themselves under a large amount of credit card debt that is gaining interest and late fees faster than they can be paid off. It is possible in these situations that debt consolidation programs might be the answer. Through debt consolidation, credit card bills can be bundled together into a single monthly payment that is easier to manage and that will stop the recurring late fees and possibly even the high interest rates. If the process is completed successfully, then the credit card debt will be gone and a new financial life can begin.

Before starting a debt consolidation program to handle credit card bills, some states and many consolidation programs will require that a debtor first go through some form of debt counseling. This process usually consists of laying out all of the income and bills that a household has and then looking at areas where there is room to save money. The importance of a counseling session is so that when the credit card debt consolidation programs start, the applicant will have a firm budget to follow to ensure that monthly payments are met and that excessive spending has been curbed.

The actual process of debt consolidation involves granting a loan to the individual who is in debt. This loan is used to pay off all of the credit card debt that exists. In turn, now the person who was in debt only has the single new loan to repay each month. This stops monthly late fees from credit card companies, and the loan itself usually has a lower interest rate than most overdue credit cards. In this way, credit card debt consolidation programs help to save future damage to a credit report by immediately removing credit card debt from the equation.

Despite the help that consolidation can give to a household that is buried in credit card debt, the program still relies on the responsibility of the individuals involved. Payments must be made on time every month, otherwise penalties could be charged. The spending habits that caused the credit card debt in the first place need to be addressed so that the same behavior is not repeated in the future. Many consolidation services will work with people who have large amounts of debt to make certain that they are leaving the program with the financial tools necessary to stay out of debt in the future.
