Ok so you found this page by surfing the internet and you thought you found
a cure all for all your debt. Sorry about that but now that I have your
attention let me tell you how I was able to eliminate credit card debt once
and for all. I am not an expert or claim to be this is something that I did
and it worked.
First thing I did was go to bankrate.com and check all the best credit cards
when it comes to the ones with the lowest interest rate and no balance
transfer fees. Then I wrote them down and then I pulled out my last
statement for my current credit cards to see what my interest rate was on
them.
After compiling the list I called the credit card that had the largest
interest rate that I had and told them that I wanted to negotiate my rate.
The first person that I got said they could lower it one point. That's where
I asked to speak to a supervisor.
The supervisor got on the phone and told him I have good credit why am I
paying such a high interest rate. I told him I got an offer for 0% for 6
months from (add competing credit card company here) and if he couldn't lower my rate I would move all
my money over to them. He lowered my rate to 3% from 12.99% permanently.
Not paying crazy interest rates anymore I was able to pay off my credit card
bills instead of paying off the interest every month.
Do this with all your cards and pay them off. Do this with all your
credit
cards until you have none and you will be out of debt by paying off your
credit cards. Sure it will take some time but who cares. Pay off the largest
debt or the smallest debt one as you only pay the minimum or what you can
afford on the others.
Some experts will tell you to cancel the credit cards after you pay them off
but that all depends on your spending habits. If you think you will use the
card then get rid of the temptation but it might affect your overall credit
score. You might be better off locking them away in a dark place.
