If you have enormous credit
card
debt, you are certainly not alone. According
to research, the average family in the United
States has $7000 in credit card debt and pays
about $1000 in interest each year! Throw in a
late payment or two, or an over-the-limit charge,
and that number skyrockets. Imagine what you
could do with that $1000 if it weren’t being
spent on interest! Use our
debt consolidation loan and
home equity
loan
calculator to compare loan
rate terms.
When using low interest rate
credit cards to borrow against, understand that using your credit card after
you’ve received a notification of
"change in the agreement" results in
your automatic “agreement” to the new
terms in the notice. If those terms will
adversely affect your interest rate or payment to
prevent these new terms from affecting your
account you must stop using that credit card
immediately or by the date given in the
notification statement.
The most common
modifications to
credit card agreements include
new APR’s (annual percentage rates), new
fees and/or changes to existing fees, or a change
to the grace period on your account. The grace
period is the number of days during which any
credit used for purchases may be repaid in full
without incurring a finance charge. Use our free
debt consolidation loan calculator to figure out how much you are
paying your credit card company in interest.
An adjustable rate mortgage is a low interest rate mortgage option that
should be considered carefully. When (not if) the interest
rate environment returns to higher rates, those with an
adjustable rate mortgage will find themselves with
substantially higher mortgage payments. Therefore, make
sure your finances have the flexibility to withstand higher
payments and be prepared to refinance your home loan and lock in a fixed rate should fixed
mortgage rates return to their five year lows.
This brings us back to using
a fixed term home loan or a low rate 2nd mortgage to consolidate your
debt so you don't find yourself dealing with
constantly changing credit card terms.
You may also consider
using a 2nd mortgage to consolidate your student loans but, if
possible, you should just lock in your student loan rate while
it is low, although the interest you pay will not be tax
deductible like a home loan. Use
our mortgage calculators and debt consolidation loan calculators
to determine the best mortgage rate after all
considerations such as points, balloon payments, etc. And eliminate the
threat of changing credit card terms that could drastically
increase your non-tax deductible interest burden.
