So you have some lingering credit card debt. That you would like to pay off, but with the current economy, you feel like you should increase you emergency funds just in case. You may be having some troubles deciding what is more important.

This depends on how much credit card debt you have and how much time it will take to eliminate. This provided that you can pay off a relatively small amount of debt with in six months, pay off your credit cards, then build a six month emergency plan.

If on the other hand, your debt will take longer then six months to eliminate, I would suggest this technique:

First cut out all unnecessary expenses, then calculate how much extra money you can set aside each month. Place that amount toward your credit card debt. Then the next month alternate with you emergency fund. Keep this up until you've paid off your credit card debt and have a nice cushion of cash in your emergency fund. You should also speak with creditors on lowering your interest rate. If anything deferring your payments.

Inflexible credit card companies are a thing of the past. With more people today unable to pay their bills. Credit card companies are becoming more willing to negotiate in order to get what ever money they can out of you. There are many ways available to you to help with this process. If you think you will be unable to do the task at hand be sure to consider every possible option before you commit. Some of the atlertitive options that are available to you are debt consolidation, bankruptcy, debt settlement, and credit relief loans. All of these options available will help you with your debt problem in one way or the other. You are better off paying them off on your own. Yet this can not always be avoided.
