Credit Cards or Debt
Consolidation?
Depending on your financial situation and the interest rate that
you pay on your credit cards, you might be better off sticking
with them than putting them into a debt consolidation loan. A
debt consolidation is almost always better, but there are those
rare instances where they are not. You have to check into many
lenders to see that you are getting the best possible deal that
you could get before you sign with anyone.
If your credit card is offering you 0% interest, you need to
stick with that card. The debt consolidation that you get will
never offer you that low of a rate to pay off the debt as it
just would not be cost effective for them. Sure the debt
consolidation companies want to help, but only if they are going
to make some money doing it. By switching it in these instances
you are going to end up losing money instead of gaining it, and
that is never our purpose.
You will want to check with your credit card company to see what
the rate is and what it will switch to at the end of the
promotional period – for 0% interest rates are always for a
defined period of time. If you want you can start a debt
consolidation after that period of time is up, but it would not
make sense to start it before. Always consider what you are
leaving interest rate wise before you make that jump.
