Debt relief habits

You can also refer to different companies who offer debt help as debt relief services. They are referred to by many different names as well, such as debt consolidation services, debt management companies and credit counseling companies. Most of these companies refer to their services as debt relief services as well. Other than the products they offer (such as debt consolidation loans and debt consolidation mortgages) they offer debt relief services such as education about how to use credit wisely, debt management and how to budget. It's true, it's true! The debt help services can do all this and more.

Below is a list with abbreviated descriptions of what some of the terms referred to above mean:

  1. Debt Consolidation Loan - A loan given to you by a debt management company. They will bundle all of your unsecured debts together so that you only have to make one monthly payment to their company which is enough to pay your creditors monthly and a monthly fee to the debt management company. The interest rate on a debt consolidation loan is usually much lower than the interest rate you were paying on your unsecured debts before, which help get your debt paid off in 5-10 years, depending on how much debt you have.
  2. Debt Consolidation Mortgage - This is essentially borrowing from the equity in your house to pay off your unsecured debt. The interest rate is much lower, and in some cases you can write part of the interest off on your taxes. However, your house is the collateral, so you risk losing it if you can't make the payments on both your mortgage loan and your debt consolidation mortgage loan.
  3. Student Loan Debt Consolidation - This bundles all of your student loans into one. And right now, you can lock into to a low, low fixed rate which is probably a lot less than what your adjustable rate is. In many cases, when you consolidate your student loans, your monthly payment is cut almost in half.
  4. Debt Settlement - A debt relief programs will negotiate with your creditors so you only end up paying 80% of what you owe and your creditors consider the debt settled.
