What is a good way to eliminate credit card debt?

mike asked:


i am having a very difficult time paying down the balances that I owe on my credit cards. I’ve tried calling them up myself and negotiating the interest rate, but they refuse to lower it. I can barely afford the minimum payments and just want to be done with this. I don’t want to file for bankruptcy, I’m just looking for other methods of helping me eliminate this debt that I carry. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

if a home owner passes away can the estate try to sell the house if there is a co-signer on the title?

staceyann asked:

I want to consolidate my credit cards debt and get rid of high interst rates. What is the best way to do this?

mony ou asked:


I have 4 credit cards with approx. $25,000.00 worth of debt on them. I would like to get ahold of a non-profit debt counseling service in order to get rid of the high interest rates and pay them off alot sooner instead of only paying the interest and the over the limit fees. I have not used these cards for the past 5-6 years and the accounts are closed except for me making payments on them. I am not even touching the actual principal that I owe, although, I have probably paid enough on these cards to have actually paid off the actual principal. How is the best way to do this and what are some reputalbe non-profit agencies that will help achieve this? I have also heard that some credit cards will take a settlement on some accounts. Is this a good idea and how much of the amount owed do they usually want? I realize that this may hurt my credit rating but to be honest with you it isn’t worth squat now, so what is the difference? Does the debt consolidation hurt your credit as well?

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy (arrears not paid)?

MrMan333 asked:


I’ve been in a chapter 13 plan for close to 3 years in my 36 month plan. My arrears to my mortgage company are a top priority to receive payments from me but the trustee has made a huge mistake and my arrears haven’t seen a dime in three years but has now corrected the problem. (the correction: my arrears will start seeing payments on a regular basis for the remainder of my extended 2 years.) But, my attorney wants my plan to be extended for two more years because of the mistake. Do I have to just lay down and except this because of the trustees mistake or is there anything leagally I can do as far as having my arrears caught up some kind of way because of the three years of non-payment towards them by my trustees?
