Time for Credit Card Debt Repair?

By now your mailbox must be full of notices from your credit card company asking you for the repayment of the debt on your credit card which dates back so and so date and you must have encountered a lot of calls asking you for the payments of your credits and you end up making excuses to satisfy the customer service executives of that company but on back of the mind you have realized that the excuses are lame and you have exceeded the expenses more than you can afford to pay, which makes you think that its time to you credit card debt repair.

This financial trauma might depress the debtor who at first place finds himself on a dead end of this credit card journey before he locks up in his room checking the ways to pay back the debts but this could relief him that he is not the only person who has faced this dilemma and that many service provider are there to help him out of this financial cum mental trauma. This problem has been encountered by millions of people around the globe courtesy to those who believe keeping credit card is a status symbol but since it’s a natural phenomena that even the goodness when exceed the limit becomes injurious and in a process of showing off the magic of this plastic money the user only end up in the period of great depression.

Since this financial cum mental trauma can by no means come to an end overnight and can even take 2 to 3 years to resolute you must always remember to be patient and calm towards debt repayment because aggression and impatient attitude towards debt or towards the customer service executives can only end up in more troubles rather than solution.

Once you realize that you have exceeded the pay back limit track the following steps towards debt repayment;

1. Start early towards solution and by this I mean to stop the further credit at the first place then only you would be in a position to curtail the impact of the credits, empty your wallets from all the credit cards and cut them down while informing the credit card service provider that you would not be required with more credits in future period.

2. Now review the credit statement that you received most recently and if not ask your credit company to send one and they would feel pleasure to dispatch you with one on zero rate or very minimal rate. Evaluate your credit statement and match it with your records towards the debt that you owe to the company and try reconciling the difference if any by seeking advices from the customer care executive at your credit card company.

3. Talk to the official of your credit card company and ask them about what settings they could arrange towards your debt repayment since you are not in a position to repay the debts at once. They might propose you with schemes of debt repayment on long term basis with short monthly paybacks or they could offer you loan upon some collateral surety.

4. Then draw a plan rather construct a schedule of how much you can afford to pay now and what payments you would make on a future date and the sequence of such payment. Your customer service executive or a colleague engage with the financial services can help you out designing such plan but if not financial consultant are always eager to assist you at a minimal charges but always remember its you who have to make payment and not the assistant so always check your convenience before you agree to a schedule.

5. Then follow up the plan and don’t miss the nominal payment that has been decided and don’t expect the results within a few payments but after constant efforts you will find your self out of this financial cum mental trauma which will no longer be a problem and you would be praising yourself to have come out of what was a few years back a disaster to your financial settings.

While you follow the above course of action you must always remember to avoid trying to repay the debt by taking a big loan because that would only serve the purpose in short run but would bring another liability upon you with the heavy interest payment and massive principle amount which would not lead to a solution but further your financial cum mental trauma and also never accept a loan which charge high interest rate or who offers the loan against the mortgage of your property because that might eventually lead you loose the money as well as the property.

To conclude, in order to maximize the chance of your credit card debt repair you must always follow a cool and calm attitude towards all your dilemma and must follow a suitable plan constantly while avoiding the decision in haphazard and once you have repaired your credit card debt you must always use these deals as per the need and not making it a status symbol because the financial cum mental trauma is much painful then the pleasure of showing it off.
