Is Debt Consolidation Right for Me?
If high interest rate credit cards and loan debt are keeping you from getting ahead, as a home owner you can refinance your existing mortgage and use the equity in your home to pay off that debt. With the low mortgage rates and rising property values it is a great time to consolidate your debt and even decrease your monthly payments.
Recognizing the Danger Signs
You may have a debt problem if:
- you are feeling stress and anxiety over money situations and finding it difficult to sleep at nights.
- your monthly bank statements are in the negative.
- you're only able to pay the interest and service charges on your credit cards.
- you are afraid to open your mail or answer unknown phone numbers.
- your services have been cut off such as hydro or telephone.
- you're always borrowing money from family and friends and then find yourself avoiding them because you cannot afford to re-pay them.
- creditors are pressuring you and threatening to sue.
- you have received notification in the mail from a collection agency.
- your wages have been garnisheed.
