Smack Debt Consolidation Services

Unlocking the home equity and using it to pay off your credit card debts is the best form of credit card debt consolidation available today. There are a couple of options you can consider:

Refinance your first mortgage:
You can refinance your first mortgage and roll the debt into your mortgage. This kind of debt consolidation will lower your interest and reduce your monthly payments.

Fixed rate second mortgage or HELOC
Another option is to take out a fixed rate second mortgage or a home equity line of credit to consolidate your credit card debt. This tends to be cheaper but you will end up in higher interest rates.

Either method will reduce your overall monthly payments and leave some money on the table each month. Use this excess money wisely and pay off your mortgage faster and get out of debt. Once you are totally out of debt, reduce the number of credit cards you have been using, or better yet, always make future purchases in cash.

Depending upon the money you owe your credit card companies, it may take a several months to a several years to pay off your credit cards. With a bit of frugal living and keeping your expenses in check, you will be able to get out of debt.

If you are unable to pay your debt consolidation loan, you will be in serious trouble. The debt consolidation loan was granted to you against your home and the bank can force you into a foreclosure leaving you without a home. If you are disciplined and committed, you should not have a problem using debt consolidation loans to pay off credit cards.
