People all over the world, not only in the United States, are having a difficult time paying their bills off in a timely manner the way that they used to in the past. This is because our world has changed. The economic crisis is crossing all borders and affecting all people. Income does not match the cost of food and shelter.
What makes things worse is the price of gasoline for transportation has forced more people to put basic travel costs on their charge cards. As debt mounts, people are losing jobs, companies are closing down, and the credit companies become ever more persistent that they be paid, regardless of the personal consequences to the debtor. Compassion, understanding, and working with you through your situation are not part of the corporate culture that pushes credit cards.
Hector Milla Editor of the “Credit Card Debt Free” website — http://www.CreditCardDebtFree.org — pointed out;
“…However, despite the lack of empathy displayed by credit companies, it is possible to settle credit card debt. In this article, you will be shown some easy to follow steps to pay a lesser amount than the money you owe…”
The following steps can reduce your credit card bill by 60 percent of more.
Step 1. Call the customer service department of your charge card company. Ask to speak to a representative in the settlement department. When you get somebody, there are several ways you can ask to have your card debt reduced. One way is to ask for your interest rate to be reduced. A second way is to ask for a hold to be put on your interest payments until you have paid the balance owed. A third way is to ask for a discount on your debt of 60 percent. Rarely do credit companies do more than make token accommodations. If this is the case, and they offer you a reduction that does not help you much at all, then proceed to the second step.
Step 2. Stop making all payments on your charge account. Instead funnel the money that you would normally pay them into a savings account.
Step 3. Collection agencies will now begin to harass you. Keep repeating that you are only willing to accept a credit card settlement. The more they insist that you pay the full balance the more you persist in asking for them to accept your terms. Eventually, they will get the message that they will not receive any money from you until they agree to accept the money that you can offer in lieu of the total amount.
“…After you have received a written agreement, you can send them the money that you have been saving up…” added H. Milla.
