    Some solutions

    Home Equity Loan
    If you own your own home, you may be able to use a home equity loan. The interest rates on home equity loans are almost always much lower than the interest rates on credit cards or other types of loans. However your home could be at risk if you don’t keep-up with the repayments. Be absolutely sure that you will be able to afford the payments on a home equity loan before entering into any binding contract.

    A personal Loan

    A personal loan from your local bank can also be a good way to pay off your debt. A personal loan is likely to carry an interest rate far lower than that you would pay on your credit cards.

    Debt Management

    An informal agreement which helps make unsecured debt repayments more affordable. The aim of Debt Management is to help you clear your debts at a reduced level over a set period of time; this will help you make a fresh start with your finances. If you are unable to pay all of your monthly or weekly repayments, but are able to pay some, then debt management can is the best option for you.

    IVA

    An IVA is a fixed term repayment plan, designed to allow someone with serious debt problems the opportunity to repay their creditors back at what they can afford to pay each month. If your debt is 15,000 or more, then an IVA can make it feasible for you to begin repaying your debts at an amount you can afford over a (5year) period, once this period has been successfully completed, any remaining debt is then legally written off.

    Bankruptcy

    Bankruptcy is an option for individuals who cannot afford to pay anything towards their debts. Anyone can go bankrupt, including individual members of a partnership. This is a cheaper alternative to Bankruptcy; it enables you to wipe out your debts without the costs incurred by going through bankruptcy.

    A Debt Relief order

    A Debt Relief order gets your debts placed on hold for a period of 12 months by an official receiver, within this time period you are protected from any enforcement action by your creditors and must co-operate with the official receiver and their requirements. After a 12 month period has passed you will be free from these debts completely.

    Paying off debt can be a difficult thing to do
    What took only months to create may take many years to pay-off, but being aware of the many options besides using credit can make your financial life easier and put your mind at ease.
    We all make mistakes with no exceptions. The clever people find the right way out.

    Financial advice/debt consolidation/refinancing ?

    Kim Mullens Asked: Financial advice/debt consolidation/refinancing ?

    my husband & i have about 5000 dollars in credit card debt. he is the only one working im unable to find a job that suites the hours im able to work. well we purchased a house in may & walked into it with about 80,000 dollars in equity we currently have a 5.74 interest rate. were considering refinancing but were not sure if its to soon to do. we would take out more than 5000 if we refinanced maybe around 10,000 to do some much needed updates to the house. if we don't refinance does debt consolidation hurt your credit? my credit is trash right now because i put my credit cards off to keep his up due to his job being strict on credit issues. i bring in 320 dollars under the table doing yardwork. any advice or options? i just mainly want the credit cards done it would be such a relief! thanks in advanced! last we checked my husbands credit score was around 600 between 624-650
