Most of us are desperate to find a viable and realistic credit card debt reduction solution. Banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions are being bailed out of their own bad debt while the rest of us continue to suffer. But don’t look for the government or anyone else to help you get out of debt. Sadly, we are on our own—but are we?
The Great Debt Consolidation Lie
Coming to the rescue of the average consumer are a whole industry of “debt consolidation companies”. Promising to be the great credit card debt reduction solution, these companies actually make things worse for the average person. To understand why, let’s take a closer look at some of the more popular debt consolidation strategies:
Throwing the Debt Settlement “Hail Mary”
The basic pitch for this strategy is deceptively simple: “We will negotiate with your creditors on your behalf and reduce your “principle debt amount” by 40-60%!” This fairy tale sounds great but is riddled with problems, such as:
Companies assess set-up fees, maintenance fees, and even transaction fees that actually ADD $1,000’s to your debt balance—before negotiating anything with anyone!
You need to pay off creditors with massive one-time payoffs that most of us can’t afford right now!
More and more states are making 3rd party debt settlement companies illegal and many creditors will not even speak with them
Because most of us don’t have 50% or more of our entire debt balance lying around, our credit score takes a real beating. This is because part of most debt settlement strategies includes “not paying our creditors” so that we can save up and pay-off creditors one at a time with one-time payoffs.
Debt Consolidation Loans To the Rescue!
This option involves taking out a secured loan (typically using home or car as collateral) to pay off our credit cards with their unsecured interest rates. But with falling home values and most of us having damaged credit scores, this option is not viable for the average consumer.
Credit Counseling/Debt Management “Slow Train” To Nowhere
This credit card debt reduction solution involves some credit counselor “negotiating” with the creditor to lower your interest rates. Sure, this will potentially lower your monthly payments but it does not actually address your overall debt balance. Plus, the typical credit counseling plan takes 4-5 years and has a failure rate of almost 75%.
Bankruptcy “Bailout”
Back in 2005, the bankruptcy laws were tightened so that it is all but impossible to qualify for Chapter 7 protection (where your debts are basically “wiped clean”). This means that most of us will have to file for Chapter 13 protection that involves a 5-year court-mandated payback plan based upon your income.
Chapter 13 will not “bailout” your debts, literally destroys your credit rating, and leaves you paying higher interest rates for years to come. Oh, and it costs $1,000 or more in most states!
The Money Merge Account® System Difference
Ideally, we need a credit card debt solution that does not require us to go even deeper into debt by borrowing more money. The Money Merge Account system is a revolutionary debt reduction strategy that centralizes your existing income and expenses.
Simply put: The Money Merge Account system is a software suite using complex algorithms that tell you when is the BEST TIME to make a payment using your existing income.
