Home Equity loans: Home equity loans permit you to borrow money against the value of your home, without any additional mortgages. These loans are great for helping you reduce other higher interest rated debts and will help you eliminate debt quickly if used properly. These loans are fixed amounts of money that you can borrow for a certain time period. In many cases these types loans provide great interest rates and low payment schedules. Another attractive thing about taking out home equity loans is that they tax free when you itemize them in most cases. Keep in mind that interest rates on home equity loans are often up-and-down, and there is a risk of losing your home if you fail to pay these loans back. Bottom line – this is a great way to pay off higher interest rate credit cards if you can get a good rate.

Credit Counseling: Credit counseling companies are designed to help you become debt free. However, these companies they don't consolidate your debt and are not considered to be debt consolidation loans, but they aid you in that direction. Credit counselors will work out payment plans with lower interest rates and fees for your outstanding current debts. By using a credit counseling company, you will make one monthly payment to the agency itself. They will then pay all your creditors on your behalf using a deal between the two. Typically, your credit rating will not be comprised either when you use credit counselors. If you stay on course with your new one monthly payment plan drawn up by the agency, it is quite possible for you to be debt free in as little as 3 years. Some plans carry a 6 year debt free agenda and the like depending on your debt and monthly payments. We want to stress to you that seeking the proper agency can be a chore as there are many companies out there – some are not worthy of your business. Be sure to fully investigate the agency before coming to any terms.
