How do you consolidate credit card debt if you do not own a home?
I owe about $12,000 in credit card debt and I wanted to make that my year’s goal to pay it off, but a lot of the websites I find require that you own a home, or charge a huge interest for someone to “negotiate” with your creditors to bring down interest. Does anyone know of a good resource where I can just consolidate the debt and make one reasonable payment?
You can go to a bank for a signature loan. Enough to pay one or two cards. By taking out the loan you may pay 12% interest; and retire a credit card at 23% interest. Make the payoff of your loan over 3 years and place the extra monthly cash against another card, the highest interest payment.
OR Pay the minimum on all your credit cards and the balance into savings. Look for a house, when you find a place you can afford to buy YOUR RENT MONEY WILL WORK FOR YOU. The purpose is credit control not the “castle of your dreams”.
