How to Get Out of Debt Without Ruining Your Credit Further

By Michael Benifez

If you've decided that you are tired of constant calls from debt collectors, it's time to do something about your old debts. If you feel that you are buried under your debts and it is impossible to pay your way out of debt, you are not alone. When you find yourself in this situation, you should consult a debt counselor, who is trained to help people like you achieve freedom from their debts. They can help you get your debt under control. They'll also help you plan a budget that you can stick to, and teach you good financial strategies. Their advice can help you keep yourself out of debt once you are finally debt-free, because you'll learn good spending habits in the process of reducing your debt.

Other choices when you find yourself faced with extreme debt are filing for bankruptcy, or trying to find a loan to consolidate your debts. Compared to these choices, debt counseling is an excellent alternative. If you file for bankruptcy, your credit rating will be ruined for several years. In some cases, you may even risk losing your personal property by filing for bankruptcy. This is a serious undertaking, and it should not be taken lightly. Bankruptcy should be your last resort if nothing else works to get you out of debt.

For some people, debt consolidation loans can work for paying off their creditors. However, the debt will still exist under the new loan, and many people do not alter their spending habits, landing right in the same place again increasing the stress caused by debts. Plus, because debt consolidation loans are offered to people considered high-risk, they sometimes require the use of collateral. If you are unable to repay the debt consolidation loan, you will lose this property.

Unlike these two often-used options, professional debt counselors work with you to create a repayment plan you'll be able to follow. They will also help you create a reasonable budget, so that you'll be able to find the money to pay back your creditors. It won't be easy, but with time you will pay off your debts. Then the phone calls will finally stop. Plus, you'll have the tools to keep yourself out of financial difficulties in the future. Many people fall into debt because they do not have a budget that they can stick to. By going through a debt counselor, you will be able to plan a budget that will keep you from overspending.

Can You Get a Mortgage Loan with Bad Credit?

By Troy Cruz William Engle Dawn Khoury James Nissen Robert Hill Chris Laning Janet Taylor Jack Enders Bruce Gross Rick Bean Keith Wood Ray Johnson Alex Velez Juan Hines Paul Holtz Kenya Rios Peggy Dye Neal Dawes Lucas King Karl Howell Jarrod Lucky Ruth Coats Doris Lund Ryan Hudson Henry Bush Lonnie May Arlen Bell Wanda Kuebler Kevin Stiles Nick Horton Jorge Pina Frank Vera Chad Copp Fred Brod Jose Cruz Jeremy Stanley Mark Jones Kelly McMahon Barney Bernard Ailleann Alan

How good is your credit? If you know your credit score and won't admit what the number is because it is so low, you may be worried that you won't be able to get a mortgage. If your credit score is low, getting a mortgage won't be easy, but it is still possible.

There are several factors that determine whether or not you are eligible for a mortgage, and credit score is one of the big ones. If you know right now that your credit is bad, you need to start to take the steps to fix it. To improve your credit, look at how many credit cards you have, how many late payments you have made, how much debt you have and how often you have had checks on your credit to see what you can fix now. If you have good credit, you are going to get a better mortgage rate, but if your credit is poor you might still be able to get a mortgage.

If there is no hope to your credit, you can probably kiss a mortgage goodbye. A lot of banks won't take the risk, especially now that the economy has taken a downturn. If you do have really bad credit and absolutely need a mortgage, you might want to consider getting someone to cosign for you. This is going to take a lot of trust on their part, because they are risking their credit to help you.

If your credit is poor, and you have been trying to improve it and your credit score has been showing signs of improvement because you have been paying your bills on time for the last six months, you have a chance at getting a better mortgage. If this is you, you are going to want to go and shop around at different mortgage companies to see which one is going to offer you the best rate. You might be paying more than most people would pay, but if you keep improving your credit score, you can always remortgage your house in a couple of years to get an even better rate.

If your credit is bad, you are probably going to pay a higher interest rate, and your mortgage company might even insist that you get mortgage insurance if you don't have enough money for the down payment. This is going to add a considerable cost to your mortgage, so you are going to want to make sure that you budget this in and know how much you're going to be mailing off to the bank every month so that you don't find yourself in a financial pinch. Basically, if you default on this mortgage you are going to find getting a mortgage in the future virtually impossible to do.

If you have filed for bankruptcy, do you think that you will be able to get a mortgage now? Don't get your hopes up, because the only thing that you can do is to shop around. If the bank offers you a mortgage with an interest rate that is significantly higher than what it should be, you should probably decline.

If you want to be smart and save a lot of money in higher mortgage rates, keep your credit score good.

Tired Of Being In Debt? Consolidating It Is A Solution

By John Brennan

Our debt is increasing daily, whether it is the national debt, debt being incurred by businesses or that occurring in our own households. Being in debt at a time the economy is failing only makes things more difficult. Owning an average of 7 to 8 credit cards does not help the situation either. It is just too easy to spend money that is there but not our own.

There are way to escape this situation assuming of course you have the will and desire to do so. One such way is through debt consolidation. More and more people are becoming familiar with this approach and many more should be. Instead of continuously robbing Peter to pay Paul debt consolidation makes it possible to pay off debt more easily and hopefully eventually to eliminate it.

What debt consolidation accomplishes is to pay off all credit card and other debt, rolling it all up into a single loan which usually has a significantly lower interest rate and a monthly payment schedule much lower than the combined payments of all the other debts. Through debt consolidation you will witness a reduction in time, expense, and anxiety.

The most commonly available debt reduction tool is the home equity loan. With a home equity loan you combine all debts into a single loan which carries an interest rate approximating the interest rate generally seen on a home loan. This can be significantly lower than credit card rates. This lower rate is possible because by using your home as collateral you are able to get a secured loan. Secured loans feature lower rates of interest.

The answer is yes though you may have to work at finding a source. Also a non-secured loan will carry with it a higher rate of interest. Credit card transfers are one possibility but the interest rates, except for the introductory "teaser" rates will generally be higher and can become higher still if you make late payments.

Life insurance and retirement funds are also a way to try. You can ask your credit union to see if they offer loans with lower rates. Finding a good credit union will take some time, but the pay off may be worth it. If you aren't a member of a union you can see if you are eligible. Most employers have offers to join credit unions.

There are also non profit organizations that assist with debt consolidation. They actually negotiate with your creditors to get fees waived and interest rates reduced. You can try this on your own but usually it is better to leave that to people who have the tools.

Debt does not have to be a major factor in your life even though it always seems to be with us to some degree. It can be hard to avoid going into debt in our culture but if you have the will and desire, help is available and you can benefit greatly from tools such as debt consolidation.

Two Options to Construction Equipment Financing

By Loyd Carr

If your company is looking for construction equipment financing, there are two main choices, loan or lease. Business owners need to weigh all options when it comes to obtaining financing for construction equipment. Both options have their merits and their drawbacks.

Construction Equipment Purchased Using a Business Loan to Buy

Heavy construction equipment does not become obsolete during the life of the equipment. Construction equipment is very durable. With proper equipment maintenence, heavy duty construction equipment will last for years past what a lease would offer.

Also once the business loan is paid off, the business owns the equipment. The business gains collateral as it builds accrued equity. This can be very valuable for future financing on the business credit. Equity built used in the collateral gained can be used to obtain working capital in the future. Keep in mind however, that unsecured business lines not requiring collateral are available for businesses needing the extra working capital. Furthermore, the equipment that is bought can be counted on taxes as depreciation.

The Benefits of a Leasing Construction Equipment

The primary benefit of leasing construction equipment is that it offers great tax benefits to business owners. This is particularly true in a "true lease" where there is 100% deduction on taxes. If you do not know what we mean by a true lease, the Internal Revenue Service uses the term "true lease" to define how it is structured.

The thing about a true release is that the business owner can claim the entire lease payment off on business taxes, For your equipment to qualify for this status, it should be declared at fair market value when the lease is up. Also, it is a good idea to speak with a professional tax consultant for more details.

Most business owners like the idea of using a lease because you can get the equipment without a down payment or very little at all. So this eliminates the upfront costs involved in buying your own equipment outright. Business startups especially like using a lease agreement. It just makes sense. Lease payments are typically fixed for the term of the lease and give the business owner a good idea what to budget.

Make Plans to Succeed in Your Construction Business

As a business owner, there are a lot of things to think about when obtaining construction equipment financing. One of things is the method of payment and how it affects you financially with taxes and everything else. Make sure you check the all angles and consult with a tax consultant Plan ahead, and you will do fine with your construction business!

Which Is More Secure: Your Job Or Your Car?

By Susan Tanner

Security always becomes a concern when the state of the economy is questionable. Many question their job security even though they may have little to no way of securing it. However, one thing that you can and should secure in tough times is your automobile.

With a plethora of auto insurance companies all offering competitive rates, you may ask which one best suits your needs and your budget? Getting quotes from several different companies is a smart start. Then you can compare the rates and decide on the ideal plan for your vehicle.

Foremost, the cheapest insurance is not necessarily the best choice. You should consider other factors that will affect the cost before you settle on a specific plan. These factors include the amount of drivers that will be authorized to drive your vehicle, the ages of the drivers, the safety equipment that comes with the car, the option of the insurance company covering the cost of your car loan in the event of total loss, and the coverages and liabilities that are available. Furthermore, you must know the insurance requirements of the state in which your vehicle will be driven.

Your standard rate may vary from the different insurance companies if you are the sole driver of your vehicle. However, if you add another driver, especially if he/she is underage, you will see that the premiums will vary sometimes largely from company to company. The more quotes the better though, as it is important that all drivers are insured.

Some insurance companies offer discounts if the car has air bags, anti-theft devices or even safety belts. While safety belts are pretty standard, don't forget to check with each company to see if having them will lower the rate. Many of the standard features of newer cars will help with the discount, depending on the company doing the quote.

If the car is being financed as opposed to leased, pay attention to the terms of the insurance plan when it comes to accidents. If the vehicle is totaled, a good insurance plan will cover the remaining debt of the loan for the vehicle. Be sure to shop around for this option as many insurance companies do not offer this.

As a possible customer, compare the various coverages available to you by the insurance carrier along with the limits of liability. You want to be sure that the cost of the coverage is one fits your budget. As mentioned, your state may have specific minimum requirements for insuring a vehicle; so donat overlook this either.

In summation, you must be sure to shop multiple insurance companies and their quotes before you make your decision. In the end, you will be rewarded when you get the best value for your money. Look over what is included in each quote thoroughly. But again, donat make any rash decisions before you compare quotes. Opting to not be insured is not wise when there are so many companies that have great offers. Your car insurance is one security that you can be sure to count on in an unsure economy.

Subprime Credit Cards

By Dan Moskel

These credit cards have been designed to give you a second chance with your credit. It is for those with a low or damaged credit score.

They can be used to improve a low credit score. This is because it can create a positive payment history and improve your ratio of available credit to debt.

Your payment history and available credit to debt are both very important to your credit score. By improving these you can improve your score even with bad credit items on your report.

There is monthly credit reporting with these cards. You should expect an APR of 19% and you will have some fees for these cards. This is the cost of a low score, however used correctly and this can be the last time you have a cost due to your score.

These cards will come with a credit limit around $300 and they will give you periodic limit increases. However some cards like the Tribute MasterCard do offer a $70 limit for those with a very low score.

These cards will help to improve your score more than a secured card. This is because secured cards are reported as a secured account to the bureaus and this will be weighted less than an unsecured account.

It is still important to remove negative marks from your credit history. However it has been learned that after a negative mark ages for four years it has much less impact on your score.

You should know that to get the most out of your card on your credit you should try to keep the balance at roughly 20% of your available credit. This will help because it shows the bureaus that you do use your card and are using it responsibly.

You can still get approval for a sub prime card even with; charge offs, collections, judgments, and even a bankruptcy. However each card has different approval requirements. Many of them will give you an instant decision upon submission of your application.

In sum we do suggest a sub prime credit card for individuals with a damaged credit history. It can be used to help you build positive credit and rebuild your score.
