“I remember when I received my first letter from a struggling couple who were deep in debt and considering divorce,” Cummuta writes on the company Web site. “Their decision to ‘come together’ one more time and give my program an honest try was a last-ditch effort to save their marriage and even their children’s future. You can’t imagine how wonderful it’s been to keep in contact with them over the years and watch them follow the steps in my program and finally get out of debt. Their financial situation is now rock solid and their marriage is better than ever.
“I certainly wouldn’t take credit for saving their marriage—because they did the work,” he writes. “Nor would I suggest that you wait until you’re DEEP in debt before you take action or that my program is necessarily the best program for every person and every circumstance. But, if you have felt the strains of debt in your marriage or your family to ANY degree, I am pleading with you to not let it go any further.”

]]>The past year’s economy has been a wake up call to many people. People who were going through life paying their bills every month may have been faced with unexpected unemployment or a salary reduction. We have to work at reducing our debt and saving an emergency fund, because we are not able to foresee everything that is going to happen to us.
Asking your credit card companies to reduce your interest rates should be one of your first tasks. This alone can save you hundreds of dollars in your credit card debt elimination endeavor. Right now many credit card companies are making deals with the card holders to pay off their balances, but many of the lenders are also closing the accounts when they are paid off. You will have to make a decision about doing without the account, although this choice may not be yours.
If you are only making minimum payments and it is not in your budget to pay more, you may want to consider credit counseling. Your payments will not go down much, but your interest rates will be lowered significantly, your fees eliminated and you will only have to make one payment each month. This can have your debt paid off in about 3-5 years, depending on what you owe.
Find extra money in your budget so that you can make larger payments. Many of have excessive expenses in our budget that can be reduced or eliminated. Then there is the matter of the latte factor.

]]>But isn’t encouraging consumers to act on these lender failings just a scam or taking advantage of a loophole though? Many people seem to take the entirely moral standpoint of being unwilling to entertain an attempt to challenge any unsecured personal loan or credit card debt on the basis that they “knew, or should have known, what they were getting into”. This course seems to be “running away” from a debt obligation and rewarding lack of prudence, planning and foresight.But the same accusation could be levelled at pretty well every lender, all the financial institutions, major clearing banks, most MPs and all the elite political class at the moment!
The issue may not be whether it’s a defensible ethical course, but rather whether sufficient preparation and professional assessment has been undertaken by the credit management company to ensure that they are not wasting your time by taking on a case that has no real chance of success just to make a fast buck! Lenders are making some £9 billion a year out of interest and fees from what very well may have been irresponsible lending, but if the contract between two parties breaches prescribed terms under current UK legislation (Consumer Credit Act 1974) it is not enforceable by the lender or the Court.
People whose finances were capable of supporting the commitments they made only a few months ago may now find themselves in trouble due to redundancy or a reduction in household income. Circumstances for which they are entirely blameless, so why not look at any legitimate means of challenging and reducing your total debt? The lender cannot force you to pay the debt back and they do not have the right to sell the debt on to a debt collector or any other third party and provided you select specialist advice from an advisor or company registered with the UK Ministry of Justice, you can at least challenge a significant proportion of your unsecured debt commitments.
Credit Issues is just such and approved organisation and has successfully pursued almost £ 1milion worth of debt so far this year using the central strategy of challenging enforceability through scrutiny of “true copies” of agreements.Several recent, successful, English court cases against well-known lenders have concluded with District Judges consistently ruling that the debts were being disputed on substantial grounds and that the agreements were indeed unenforceable. Most recently, the Credit Issues team successfully removed one client’s liability to credit card debt, despite it being assigned by a major lender to a debt collection agency, and he was able to clear the entire balance of £16,029.50.
Irrespective of who the credit card or unsecured loan provider is (even if that debt has been “sold” to a debt collection company) and even if the requested “true copies” original agreements that form the basis of many of these successful cases are available, so long as the balance is over £2,000 Credit Issues could help challenge or reduce the balance of your credit card or unsecured loan and also reclaim any mis-sold payment protection insurance or accident sickness cover together with interest.
That’s not a scam or a get-out. It’s a legitimate and entirely defensible avenue open to hard pressed families, who through no fault of their own, face severe debt worries. The only caveat consumers should bear in mind is the importance of choosing a firm with a specialist legal team and proven published details of successful cases.
]]>The best way to eliminate your debt is to do it on your, but as I said before, it will take a plan. First, you need to know where you stand. Make a list of what you owe and find the account with the lowest balance and begin with that account. On all you other credit card accounts make a minimum payment. On your target account, the one with the lowest balance, pay as much as you can towards the balance each month until it is paid in full.
At this point, you are ready for a new target account. Find the credit card bill with the next lowest balance and that is your new target account. This process will be followed until the account is paid in full. How this works is pretty straight forward. Follow this process until all your accounts are paid in full.
You can speed up the process of repaying your debts by following these tips. Negotiate interest rate reductions with your credit card companies. Let them know you have options and be persuasive. A reduced interest rate means money you will not have to pay.
Look for ways to make extra money. This will mean reducing your expenses, increasing your income or ideally, doing both of these. Be creative. What can you do to make extra money and what expenses can you reduce.
Break your credit card payment in half and make a half payment twice a month. Because interest is accrued daily, the sooner you make you payment the more you will save. There really are no debt elimination secrets, but there are things that will help you pay your debt off faster. You just have to find them.

]]>The National Credit Act (NCA) came into effect in June 2007 and with it came the process of Debt Review or Debt Counselling.
The consumer applies for debt review at the debt counsellor or consultant. The consumer must know the debt review process and the cost that go with Debt Review process. Debt review will influence the consumer’s credit rating, but this is temporary while the consumer is in debt review. The consumer can opt-out of debt review at any time.
The fees must be explained to the consumer so that he or she knows the cost. Debt counselling is not cheap and can be expensive, but is far better than losing your house or car to the sheriff’s auction. In the current economic market you will only get halve of the value of your assets at an auction.
The consumer completes and signs a debt review application form after consultation with debt counsellor or consultant. The application form is called a Form 16. The form 16 with the supporting documents is handed over the the debt counsellor of consultant to start the process. All details must be completed on a form 16 so that the debt counsellor has the full picture of the customer’s situation. All personal details must be entered as well as a budget will all details.
The budget is very important to the debt counsellor to determine if the customer is over indebt or not. Supporting documents are necessary to confirm account name, account number, address and creditor details with amount outstanding and monthly instalments.
The details on the form 16 are captured immediately. Within 5 days (normally sooner) all creditors are notified with form 17.1 that consumers is applying for debt review. The debt review application is now in process. It is not possible for any creditor to take legal action at this stage.
The debt review process takes 60 working days. The creditor has 5 business days to provide information on consumer. This is checked against what the consumer presented to debt counsellor. After 5 days, the creditor is reminded to give feedback.
The creditor will get another ten days grace to reply to notice 17.1 the debt counsellor sent.
If the debt counsellor does not receive conformation from creditors, he may presume that the figure provided by consumer are correct. The debt counsellor will now determine if consumer is over in debt, meaning that the debt counsellor must calculate if the consumer’s monthly debt commitments are more than the monthly income.
The debt counsellor will now prepare a debt-restructuring proposal to the creditors. The proposal must be sent 25 days from date of application to the creditors. All the creditors that received the notive have 10 days to respond to debt counsellors request. If there is no response, the creditors will get a reminder and another 5 days to respond.
The proposal will be sent to the Payment Distribution Agency to start the distribution to creditors. That is the debt review process in a nutshell.

If you have an emergency fund, it will be easier to manage your debt. Credit cards can be used in emergencies, but if you prepare for emergencies by putting money in an emergency fund, you will not be in the position where you will have to carry a balance on your credit cards.
It easier to keep track of your spending if you operate on a cash only basis. Paying with cash makes it easier to track what you spend. If you have a $20 bill and it is gone, you know you spent $20. Spending can get out of hand very quickly when you use a credit card for all your purchases.
Discipline is required to manage credit cards. If you make purchases and do not pay it off in full each month, you will be paying interest and that can be compared to throwing your money away. At the first indication that you are in over your head, you should be looking for debt relif alternatives. There are a few ways that you can do this on your own, but this will take discipline and accountability.
Many people do not have the necessary discipline. It is the reason they are in debt in the first place. Credit counseing is an alternative that can help you if you are feeling financially overwhelmed. They will take over the interaction with your credit card companies and consolidate your debt without a loan. If you are having difficulty with debt prevention and management, there is no time like the present to change the way you manage and pay your credit card debt.
