Need Debt Help? Look No Further.

If you need debt help, bankruptcy is no longer your only option. In fact, there are a plethora of options available.

Different Kinds of Debt Help

You may not know this, but in the last ten years or so, the debt help industry has exploded. In the past, people who were deep in debt and desperate generally turned to bankruptcy. The biggest benefit to bankruptcy is that your debts are erased. Its consumer debt help at its best. However, you have this huge black mark on your credit record for up to ten years, which can make it difficult to make major purchases or even open new credit cards. But now there are alternative free debt help options. Debt help is available in the following forms:

Debt Consolidation - A process through which a debt consolidation agent contacts your creditors to negotiate lower balances and lower interest rates for you. Then your balances are all bundled together and you make one monthly payment to the debt consolidation company, and they distribute that payment to your creditors. Because of the reduced interest rate, you can be debt free in as little as five years.

Student Loan Debt Consolidation - A student loan debt consolidation agent bundles your student loans together into one and gets you a lower fixed interest rate. Your monthly payments are cut by nearly 50%, too. (However, your debt is stretched out by as much as 30 years to accomplish this monthly payment reduction.)

Debt Consolidation Loan - A debt consolidation company makes a loan to you to pay off your unsecured debts. The interest rate on the loan is so much lower than what you were paying on your unsecured debts that you are debt free in about five years.

Debt Consolidation Mortgage - Allows you to borrow from the equity in your house to pay off your unsecured debts. That amount is tacked on to your mortgage, so your monthly mortgage payment goes up. If you don't think you can afford the new payment, don't choose this option because you could lose your house.

Debt Settlement - A debt management professional contacts your creditors to settle your debt. You end up paying as little as 30-50 cents on the dollar and your debt is considered paid. The only catch is that you have to have the entire amount paid off in a year, so if you won't have access to the funds needed to do this, don't choose this kind of debt help.
