Tips For Debt Problems

As unpaid bills mount up, the total amount of your debt can overwhelm you. If you answer "yes" to most of the following questions, you have serious debt problems. You may have to take some lifesaving financial actions.

* Do you feel overwhelmed by your bills?
* Have you lost track of whom and how much you owe?
* Would an emergency, such as having your work hours cut, result in a financial catastrophe?
* Is your stress level rising?

If you have debt problems, the most important things to do if you are in financial crisis are the following lifesaving actions:

* Admit that you have a debt problem.
* Stop spending! Limit spending to items basic to survival, such as food, shelter, and essential medical treatment.
* Discuss the problem with your family. Call an emergency meeting and explain the situation. Everyone will have to pull together in order to get out of "deep water." It won't be easy to say, "We can't afford to do ... or buy....." or "We don't have the money to buy that."
* Open all mail from creditors. Make an accurate list of your creditors. Record the name, address and phone number of each creditor; the amount you owe; the amount past due; the minimum monthly payment; and the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of interest that you are paying on the balance.
* Cut up your credit cards and close your accounts by notifying creditors in writing. If you decide to save one in case of an extreme emergency, freeze the card in a bowl of water so that it is not readily available. Be sure to keep the card with the lowest APR. Remember, cutting up your credit cards doesn't eliminate the debt nor does it close the account.
* Find an evening or weekend job or accept more overtime work.
