Continued from Part I..

You need to figure out how much you owe to whom and the balance terms of repayment, this is the fact that most of the people have no idea about themselves that how much in debt they really are. So it is important that you should figure out the name of creditor, your total balance and your monthly payment and the interest rate you are paying.

If you are defaulter and your credit card company is always giving you provocation to file a suit against you, Contact your credit card companies, obviously they aren’t likely to forgive you your loan amount, but they may be willing to reduce your interest rate. For instance, if your interest rate is currently 14% or more, ask if they would be willing to cut their rate, there are chances that they may consider on your request as the creditors do not want you to default on your loan and they yearn for at least their principal back. There are chances that they might consider you in case and you can expect that they may offer you new lowest interest rate instead of the prevailing interest. My point is that you should not contact any debt consolidation or consumer credit counseling agencies in your first step. It is always better to discuss with your credit card company on your first level, as there are chances that you can get some consideration.
