Credit card debt consolidation is exactly what the name implies. It takes all of the monthly payments you have from your credit cards and consolidates them into one which has either a fixed interest rate (so that you have peace of mind) and/or low interest rate (so you save money). Aside from these two things, rather than you having to deal with making payments to multiple credit card companies, you now make only one payment.

You can consolidate your unsecured (debt that is not tied to any property) debt by getting a secured (debt that is tied to property) home equity loan. A home equity loan is essentially a second mortgage or home loan, which can be used to pay for a remodeling of your house, surgery, or a child’s education. If you really need to, you can use it to pay off your credit card debts. However, because your house is tied to you paying off the home equity loan, if you can’t pay off the loan, your house is in jeopardy of being foreclosed. An alternative to a home equity loan is to simply consolidate your debt onto one credit card, which has lower interest payments. Although using another credit card will get you low interest rates, you will have to make higher monthly payments because your credit card term is much shorter than a home equity loan term. The advantage of using another credit card to pay off your debt is that your house isn’t at stake, you will likely get a better interest rate with another credit card, and you can pay off your debt faster.

When you search for credit card in the Yellowpages for the Houston area, you’ll find a lot of results for credit counseling. What do they do? They act as financial advisors to you. If they feel that your financial situation is bad enough, they’ll sign you up with a Debt Management Program, which consolidates your debt. Before you sign on the dotted line, make sure that they are not ripping you off with upfront fees and that they are truly non-profit and licensed.

In conclusion, you can get out of debt by getting a home equity loan, or a new credit card with lower interest. You can also contact your Houston credit card debt consultants by searching for “credit card” in Yellow pages for the Houston area and looking for the consultant type businesses in the search results.
