Credit card debt can spiral out of control quickly. High interest rates, minimum payments that barely touch the principal, and unexpected expenses that you need to continue to charge on your credit cards can leave you feeling trapped in a never-ending cycle of debt. If any of this sounds familiar, you have options.
You might have noticed that your interest charges are compounded monthly, so your balances never go down. You’re making payments every month, but the balance barely moves because most goes to interest.
You now have multiple credit cards that are maxed out — You’ve been juggling balances across several cards, and now they’re all at or near their limits, and you need to get a balance transfer or get ahead.
Collection calls and letters are coming in— You’ve fallen behind on payments, and creditors are contacting you constantly by email, text, or even social media.
Minimum payments you can no longer afford — Even the minimum due has become more than your budget can handle.
Borrowing to pay bills — You’re using one card to pay another, or taking out loans just to keep up with day-to-day expenses.
Frozen accounts or lawsuits filed or threatened by creditors — A creditor has taken legal action, and you’re worried about what comes next.
You’re not irresponsible, but you feel overwhelmed and even embarrassed. Life happens. Medical emergencies, job loss, divorce, loss of income, rising living costs,s and other unexpected events can turn manageable debt into an overwhelming burden.
