The amount of money currently owed by people in the UK stands at ?1.43 trillion. This ‘personal debt’ is at an all-time high, and it’s rising.

With the ‘credit crunch’ and its fallout affecting more and more people’s lives, you may be feeling the pinch too. According to Credit Action, a national money education charity, 292 people will be declared insolvent ie unable to pay what they owe, every day in May 2008.

You may think you could be one of them.

But don’t worry. Help is at hand.

If you’ve got serious debt problems, you may have thought about declaring yourself bankrupt. But did you know there may be more appropriate alternatives. One of the most popular is an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA), because it avoids you being labelled as a bankrupt, and you don’t have to lose your home, which is one of the things that can happen in bankruptcy.

So what is an IVA?

An IVA is a legally binding contract between the debtor, ie you, and your creditors, ie those you owe money to.

On the plus side, this means that, instead of making payments each month to various creditors, you make one affordable payment, usually over 60 months, to what’s known as a licensed Insolvency Practitioner, who arranges and manages IVAs. The moment the arrangement is in place, your creditors have to legally stop adding interest or charges to the money you already owe, and they must also stop demanding any money from you. Any debt that is still outstanding at the end of the IVA is written off by the creditors.

On the negative side, and just like bankruptcy, an IVA will affect your credit rating (ie your ability to get loans etc in the future) for up to six years.

So who can get an IVA?

Anyone who is struggling to pay back unsecured debts of ?15,000 or more should consider an IVA. An unsecured debt could be for a store card, bank loan, mobile phone bill, bank overdraft, utility bills (such as gas and electricity), or credit card bills. And if you’re self-employed or run a business, Income Tax and VAT can be included in an IVA too.

Another benefit of an IVA is that it doesn’t matter if you own your own home or are a tenant. If you are a homeowner, the good news is that you can protect your home with an IVA, as your mortgage or loan repayment (and any arrears you’re paying) is treated separately from your monthly IVA payment.

Please note, however, that you may have to remortgage your home towards the end of the IVA, releasing some of the money tied up in the house to give to creditors.

On a final note, while over the past few years the stigma of bankruptcy has been reduced due to changes in the law, it is still seen as a harsher choice than an IVA. In addition, those taking the bankruptcy route are prevented from taking up many professions, such as an accountant or a solicitor to name but a few and can not act as a director of a company. It really does make clear sense to consider an IVA over bankruptcy, as it lets you avoid the restrictions that bankrupts face.

When it comes to debt consolidation, there are many different financial products for every consolidation need. Not all situations can be solved by requesting a debt consolidation loan and sometimes, debt consolidation loans can be more beneficial than debt consolidation programs. Learn when you should use each one.

Debt Consolidation Loans

After you have paid all the minimum payments allowed on your credit cards, your bills and everyday expenses you have got almost no Money left. Interests keep summing up, your debt keeps growing and you wonder if you will ever be able to put a stop to this situation. I am sure these ideas have gone through your mind many times. You should know that you’re not alone, this is a very common situation and there are indeed ways to put a stop to it.

A debt consolidation loan may be the answer to your financial problems. Since a consolidation loan has fewer interests you will stop adding up to your total debt and reduce your payments to one. You will use the cash to cancel bills and credit cards, thus receiving only a monthly bill with your consolidation loan installment.

Debt Consolidation Program

Getting into a debt consolidation program is also a smart thing to do. A specialist will negotiate for you better conditions with your creditors a nd reduce your monthly bills to a minimum. He will also teach you how to make a budget and avoid getting out of track. There is no reason to be ashamed of your financial situation, if you feel you need to, do not hesitate to seek the assistance of a professional. However, Debt Consolidation agencies charge a small amount for their services, if you think you can do this by yourself, you may be better off requesting a debt consolidation loan and negotiating with your creditors yourself.

Secured Or Unsecured Loans

Depending on your financial position you can apply for a secured or unsecured consolidation loan. Secured consolidation loans have lower interest rates and generally better conditions because there is less risk for the creditor since you will be using your home or vehicle as collateral. Nevertheless, bear in mind that using an asset as collateral implies the possibility of repossession. If you fail to make the monthly payments, the lender will be able to take legal action against the property and recover his money by that means.

Unsecured consolidation loans are harder to get. There is much risk involved for the creditor so the interest rates will be higher and there will also be more requirements for approval. Nevertheless there are many companies offering this kind of loans and you may be able to obtain one if your credit is not that bad.

Do not delay this decision any longer, your financial health and future is at stake. Otherwise you may be risking bankruptcy which should be the last resort since there are many drawbacks implied by economic failure. The main one being that you will be unable to get finance for buying a car, a home, or any other personal purpose for many, many years.

So you are in debt-who isn”t these days? We live in a society that encourages people to go into debt. Credit card commercials tell us that a trip to Jamaica is just what we need, regardless of whether we can afford it. (That”s what your gold card is for, right?)
Loan brokers want us to borrow up to 125 percent against our home equity. Even the federal government just had its first balanced budget in a generation and now faces the enormous task of paying off over trillions of dollars in debt.
Yet not everyone is in debt. Many people know how to deal with money. Their debts are manageable, and they have money in the bank. That sounds nice, doesn”t it money in the bank? That is what you deserve. In order to get there, however, you are going to have to change some of your thinking about money and learn a few new methods of dealing with it.
Why Are You in Debt?
People who are not in debt think about and treat money differently than the rest of us. They know a few things about money and debt that escape the rest of us. Let”s call them the “financially literate.” If you can begin to relate to money as they do, you will be well on your way to a life that is not only debt-free, but also prosperous. What we hope to do in this book is to show you some of their secrets so you can adapt a few of these ideas and tools to help you get out of debt.
Do not feel too badly if you are not good with a dollar, a lot of people aren”t. Money literacy is not taught in schools, and too often parents are too busy trying to dig themselves out of their own financial hole to help much either. Yet, unfortunately for many of us, we learn more about money from our parents than anywhere else. The good news is that learning how to get out of debt and become more financially literate is not all that complicated.
The first step in the process is to figure out how you created so much debt, because if you don”t figure out how and why you got yourself into this pickle, you might get out of debt, but you certainly won”t stay out. So the first question to ask yourself is: Why did you go into debt in the first place?
Sometimes going into debt is unavoidable, but often it is not. When money is tight, you have several options; going into debt is just the easiest. Instead of choosing more debt, you might have decided to work overtime and make more money, or possibly you could have tightened your belt and spent less money. Debt was not your only choice.
There are many reasons people go into debt: some are good reasons, and some are bad. It doesn”t matter. Did you buy luxuries you could otherwise not afford? Did an illness or a divorce set you back financially? Was debt your way of dealing with some other sudden, unexpected expense? When you look at the reason why you went into debt, the important thing is to notice whether your spending habits follow a pattern. If you can see a pattern, you need to address that pattern as much as the underlying debt.
Consider Mark and Diane. They both make a good living: he”s a psychiatrist, and she”s a psychologist. They have two kids to whom they are devoted. They send both to private school, which costs a total of $15,000 a year, and both kids go to summer camp. This expense adds up.
Mark and Diane don”t buy luxuries, they don”t travel much, and, except for the kids” expenses, they are very frugal. Yet the only way they can pay for everything is by going into debt. They use their home equity line of credit and credit cards to stay afloat. Although they would like to move to a less expensive neighborhood, they can”t because they have no equity in their home, so they are stuck.
What are they to do? If they are going to get out of debt, something in their lives is going to have to change. The private school is going to have to go, camp may be out, or they are going to have to start making more money. The same is true for you. If you want to get out of debt, you are going to have to identify why you went into debt and change that behavior or pattern.
Good and Bad Debt
Debt in and of itself is not a bad thing. Both of us (the authors) were able to start our own businesses because of debt; Steve began his own law practice, and Azriela began her own entrepreneurial consulting business. So we understand what debt is and why some debt is great debt.
Debt allows you to do things you otherwise normally could not do, such as start a business, go to college, or pay for a home. Debt constructs buildings and funds investments and entire corporations-even the government is funded by debt. The trick is to foster debts that help the cause and banish the ones that don”t. Not all debts are bad debts.
Good Debt
Debt that helps you, enriches your life, is manageable, and is not a burden can be called good debt. For example, student loans are good debt if they enabled you to get through school and further your life goals. They are bad debt if you dropped out of medical school after one year to become a writer. A good debt helps; a bad debt hinders. We want to help you get rid of that bad debt.
Other examples of debt that may be considered good include:
1. Home loans. A mortgage can be a great debt. Not only does it permit you to own your own home, but it also allows you to build home equity. People who are financially savvy earn interest and equity. People who are not financially savvy pay interest and create money for others. For example, charging groceries means that you will pay about 17 percent interest on items that will be consumed within a week. A financially literate person would never do that.
2. Car loans. A car loan can be a fine debt because you get something long-lasting out of the debt. If you need a nice car for your job (if you are a real estate agent, for example), a car loan may be considered good debt because it helps you in your career. However, a car loan that you cannot afford is a bad debt because it detracts from your life.
3. Business loans. If you can service the loan, and it helps you make more money, the loan is good debt, but if the loan is nothing but a source of problems for you, the debt is bad.
4. Credit cards. Credit cards are fantastic. They are convenient and easy. They can help finance a business or even medical emergencies. The problem with them, as you probably know only too well, is that it is too easy to fall under their siren spell and get in over your head before you know it. That”s when they begin to hurt your life more than help it.
Bad Debt Blues
How do you know if your debt is good debt or bad debt? Easy. Bad debts cause stress. You sleep poorly because of them. They cause fights and foster guilt. Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell was once asked to define obscenity. Hard-pressed to come up with a definition, Powell uttered the famous line, “I know it when I see it.” The same could be said for bad debt: You know it when you see it, and it certainly can be obscene.
Bad debt seems impossible to pay back. You create bad debt when you charge things you don”t need or when you borrow for things that you consume quickly, such as clothes, meals, or vacations. The things quickly disappear, but the debt has a nasty habit of sticking around, seemingly forever. Bad debts can become very bad debts because of interest and penalties. For example, if you buy a CD player for $200 and don”t pay it off by the end of the year, and your credit card company charges a usurious 20 percent APR (20 percent per year), you owe $220 by the end of the year. If you do this with five items, you owe $1100, and that”s a lot of money.
Money Talks
Tight for money? Here are some simple ways to save a little extra: Don”t use ATMs at other banks and avoid $2 user fees; cancel your movie channels on cable and save about $20 per month; put all of your change at the end of the day in a jar and save about $50 a month; hold a garage sale and make about $200; cancel your cell phone and save $50 a month.
You can create bad debt when you agree to pay these crazy interest rates that some creditors charge, because the debt seems to grow exponentially. Credit cards are the prime culprit, but they are by no means the only one. High interest can also come with personal loans, business loans, or unpaid taxes.
You know what the bad debt dance looks like, anyone reading this book does: New bills are coming in before you”ve cleared out those from last month. You”re surprised to find that the phone bill is still unpaid. Somehow the dentist was never sent his check. You know what past-due notices look like. Your Visa and MasterCard bills include late payment penalties. The hardware store sends a letter telling you you”re past due and requests that you send a check at once. There is more month left at the end of your money, and payday seems far away. Worst of all, these things don”t surprise you anymore.
Avoidance is a common coping mechanism to deal with a budget that doesn”t balance. The problem is, it can create even more problems than you already have:
Your property could be repossessed. The finance company can come take your car. The electronics store can come take its TV back. You could get sued. If that happens, your wages could be garnished, or your bank account could be levied upon. Imagine your surprise when you go to get that $1,000 out of your checking account to pay your mortgage and you find that it has been seized by one of your creditors.
A lien can be placed on your real estate. Failure to pay a bill now means that a creditor can get a judgment against you and force you to pay it later when you sell your house, only then you will pay it with 10 percent interest per year.
Loss of services. You could lose your insurance or your utility services if you avoid paying those bills.
Yet, as much as you have been avoiding the problem, the truth is that your debts are neither crushing nor hopeless. They are simply a problem-one for which there is a solution. But no one ever eliminated a problem until he or she recognized and admitted that there was a problem. You began to do that the moment you read this articles. As you read it, you will need to begin to formulate a debt-reduction plan that will work for you. As you do, you need to determine which debts are necessary and which are not.
Debts You Want to Keep
Steve, one of the authors of this book, is a bankruptcy attorney. One day, an old acquaintance named Bill came into his office and said that he needed some help getting out of debt, but he also wanted to avoid bankruptcy if at all possible. They talked, came up with a plan of action, and Bill went on his way. About four years later, Steve ran into Bill again and asked how things were; Bill relayed the following story.
Bill had $30,000 in credit card debt and was behind two months on his mortgage when he left Steve”s office. That day, Bill finally decided that something had to change. He wanted to pay everyone back, put some money in savings, and keep his house. His mortgage was his largest, and favorite, debt because he loved his house.
Bill”s first order of business was to prioritize his debts. Wanting to save his house, Bill called his lender and found out that it had a program that would enable him to roll his mortgage arrears onto the end of his loan. He was therefore able to keep his most important debt and focus his energies on getting rid of the debts he didn”t want anymore.
Bill put together a credit card repayment plan. He started living a bit more frugally, making some extra money by moonlighting, and paying more on his credit cards than the minimum. He was diligent, but not always perfect. Although it took him several years, he finally did get out of debt. He also kept his house and even created a little nest egg. Bill did it, and you can too.
Debts to Get Rid Of
If you want to prosper financially, there are plenty of debts that you will want to wipe out. The most obvious are those where you are paying high interest and penalties, things such as credit cards, lines of credit, taxes, or any other debt that is much higher than inflation. In this articles, you will see how to formulate a plan that will enable you to get out from under these burdensome debts. But as you contemplate this plan, you also need to prioritize certain debts and pay them on time:
1. Rent or mortgage. Make paying your rent or mortgage a top priority. Payments on a home equity line of credit or second mortgage are also essential because you can lose your house if you don”t pay.
2. Car payments. Make the payments. If you don”t, the car will be repossessed.
3. Utility bills. These services are important, and the bills usually have heavy late payment penalties.
4. Child support or alimony. Not paying these debts can land you in jail.
5. Taxes. Taxes may be put off for awhile if necessary, and we show you how to do so later on in the book, but if the IRS is about to take your paycheck, bank account, house, or other property, you should set up a repayment plan immediately.
The First Rule of Holes: Stop Digging!
The goal of this articles is to help you get out of debt within the context of making your life work. You will not be asked to make radical, unreasonable changes in your life because doing so rarely works. Instead, important, sometimes gradual, small but significant changes can make a big difference.
If you are going to start getting out of debt, you have to stop going into debt. One way to start is to begin to wean yourself from the credit card teat if you think that is part of your problem. You don”t have to cut up all your credit cards; that would be impractical and unreasonable. Start slowly, but build up to it and get strong. You can do it. The only way to stop going into debt is to stop going into debt. You might as well start now because the sooner you start, the sooner you will get out of debt. The longer you wait, the longer it will take.
We will show you how to easily trim your budget (well, almost easily) so that you need not incur more debt to stay afloat. But begin now. You are going to have to stop sooner or later. Down the road you will see that this is one of the most important steps you can take in getting out of debt. You will thank yourself for this gift. Remember the first rule of holes: Stop digging!
Long-Term Goals
Now is the time to begin to think about your long range financial vision. What is it you hope to accomplish by getting out of debt? Changing some habits?
Paying off your MasterCard? Probably what you really want is a less stressful life, one that”s free from money worries. But you can have even more. Getting out of debt is one thing, but prosperity is another thing altogether.
You have read this once already, and you will read it again in this book: If you don”t begin to do some things differently, to change the way you think and treat money, you might get out of debt, but you won”t stay out of debt. If you do make some simple changes to your thinking and your behavior, not only will you get out of debt, but you also will get ahead. You will get what you deserve: a life of abundance.
The Least You Need to Know
1. Going into debt for essentials makes financial sense; doing so for nonessentials does not.
2. debt.
3. You may want to keep debts that enhance your life and get rid of the rest.
4. Stop adding to your debt right now.
5. Cultivate a long-term plan of action.

Business credit card debt consolidation is now becoming as common as personal credit card debt consolidation.

If however you feel that the credit card transfer option is not quite what you are looking for, then maybe the answer for you is a business credit card debt consolidation loan.

With this route you will ensure a lower interest rate on your loan. An unsecured business credit card debt consolidation loan usually means a higher interest rate and much stricter terms and conditions to adhere to.
The main benefits of this type of loan are the flexible payment options. you will be able to set the time scale that the loan is paid back over. Obviously, the longer the term, the lower the payments are going to be. This could well help with that all important cash flow issue in the interim, but on the flip side of the coin the loan will be ongoing for a longer period.

The main thing is to firstly get a handle on your finances. At this stage, the important thing is to assess what debt you are in, what your incoming and outgoings are and to write down what you could afford to pay out on a monthly basis. This may sound like an obvious bit of advice, but it”s surprising how many people get caught up in a whirlwind of financial ignorance.

Once you have done this assessment of your business finances you are in a good position to then assess which type of financial aid will best be suited to your business needs, Business Credit Card Debt Consolidation or
a Business Credit Card Debt Consolidation Loan?

Brooke got into a car accident and was heavily wounded. The doctor said that it would take about six months for him to recover completely. Until his body recover he had to use a wheelchair to move around but that is not what concerned him the most.

Since now he can”t move freely, getting to the wheelchair from the bed and vice versa became a lot of trouble. Though he has two sons with biceps like those of professional wrestlers and can move him around like carrying a pillow- his wife doesn”t have such muscle. This got him and his wife thinking about buying a patient lift to make life easier for the whole family but which one?

Fortunately Brooke already knows that the internet is such a great place for window shopping and harvest information. After spending a couple of hours surfing Brooke found some great websites that sell patient lifters and offer mountains of information. He also notes some important signs that you should look for before buying a patient lifter from an online seller. Here they are :

1. The site should allow comparisons.
A simple table containing the pros and cons of each patient lifter type is already sufficient. This allows the visitors to quickly understand the main differences between each types. This simple thing can really help in choosing the most appropriate type of lifter.

2. A simple how to never hurts.
Operating a patient lifter can be quite easy … or NOT. A simple step by step explanation describing the appropriate steps in moving a patient using a patient lifter can be a huge help. Especially when the patient is your loved one and you don”t want this machine to do more harm than good.

3. A working telephone number printed on every page.
Check the site footer or on the navigation links ( usually found on the left side ) and see if you can find a telephone number there. A credible seller got nothing to hide and if you can see the phone number printed on every page then you can almost be sure that the seller is indeed doing serious business.

4. An expert behind the phone.
Unfortunately a phone number is not enough. Try to call that number and ask one question that you FEEL is the most important thing. If you hear a lot of “Uhmm…” or “Hang on” or even a long silence after you ask that question then rethink about buying from them.

5. Payment plans.
A patient lifter can be quite expensive and some models actually very expensive. If you already spent thousand of dollars for your doctor and other medical bills it can be a difficult decision to buy one. If you find an online seller offering a payment plan bookmark it or write the URL on a piece of paper. Not many sites offer it.

There you go. Five signs that an online patient lifter seller is actually a credible one. Hope this helps.

In today’s time I feel most of you hold a credit card but having a credit card with no basic information about it could be harmful for your financial stake. Credit card is an instrument that could be easily used to purchase something whereby you owe that money to the person who has issued the credit card to you.

There are innumerable features of a credit card as many cards are there.

1. The first and foremost feature of any credit card is the rate of interest you are obliged to pay on its unpaid balance. In case of most of the cards, you get 30 days to make payment for any initial purchase and if you pay the balance in full then there are some cards that don’t even charge any interest rate. If the charges are not being paid within the period of 30 days then the remaining balance is charged with an interest rate charge. This interest rate depends upon number of factors such as current APR and your credit rating.

2. Other feature of credit card is the credit limit that is the amount of money you can charge before the credit company cuts you off. The credit limit also depends upon your credit rating because if you have a good credit rating then you will be given higher credit limit.

3. Another feature that most of you overlook is the fees associated with having a credit card also known as “annual fees.” Many credit don’t have an annual credit fee but there are other fees included such as cash advance fees, late payment fees, balance transfer fees that often lead to higher rate of interests over credit limit increase fees, return item fees and many other fees that you need to review before using the card.

4. There are mainly three types of cards namely; regular credit cards, premium cards and secured credit cards. A secured credit card asks you for a security deposit and the higher the deposit is, the higher credit limit is given. Regular credits don’t ask for any credit deposit but they don’t have many features and benefits. Premium credit cards carry the highest credit limits and usually come with additional features such as product warranties, emergency services etc.

5. Another feature is the rebate you get on the purchased items whereby some cards refer it as cash back incentives. For example, you make a purchase of $100 and you get a percentage of the money back but this percentage depends upon the card you hold.

You”re finally out in the real world and you probably want to buy a car or a house of your own. You might think that it would be easy, considering you don”t have any bad credit; in fact, you don”t have any good credit either. You don”t have any credit at all - period. You might think that this wouldn”t work against you, but it will. Future creditors need to see some kind of record that reflects your ability to pay back a loan. Without that many places are reluctant to give you a loan for a car or a house. So what is the best way to begin to establish your credit? You will have to start with getting a credit card and making a few purchases on that to show that you are capable of paying back a loan in a timely manner.

When deciding which credit card to start with, you should sit down and evaluate some things about yourself. For instance, are you someone who procrastinates? Do you have steady income that will allow you to pay the bills? Why do you want a credit card in the first place? It is very important to be honest with yourself when you answer these questions because it is easy to get into a hole that you can”t crawl out from. Even if you feel like you are the most irresponsible person on earth, but you still want a credit card, a good one to get is the American Express green card. The Amex card has to be paid off every month, and you may be willing to spend less if you know that there is not going to be a minimum balance.

Trying to find the right credit card for you can be a confusing process. You have to take into consideration the APR, annual fees and a multitude of hidden charges. The best place to start is with the APR and compare those. Many people gloss over the fine print because at first glance it seems like a nuisance to wade through. Try to read it anyway. No doubt you will find that there is information in there that will save you money in the long run. Credit companies don”t want to hear “I didn”t know”, not when they can point back to the small print and tell you it was right there when you signed your name to the agreement.

When you use your first credit card there are some rules that you should follow. You should always shred your receipts, and also shred any credit card offers that you are not considering. Do not ever give your credit card number over the phone unless you are the one who initiated the phone call to the company that you are ordering things from, or trying to get a bill paid. Keep the customer service numbers of all of your credit cards in a safe place. Sometimes companies will send you a new card and it will get lost in the mail, an automated system will ask for your information before it will let you proceed, however, if you don”t have a customer service number, you will have to wait until your next bill comes in. You would think that calling the store would help, but incompetence runs rampant in all parts of the world.

When you do finally get your new credit card remember that it is not free money. Everything you spend you will have to pay back. It is all too easy to fall into spending carelessly and getting yourself into trouble when the bills come due. Know your limits and what you are capable of and use your card wisely.
