Debt Consolidation Line Of Credit


Answers

What is a personal line of credit ? Is it good to use for debt consolidation? Is 18% too high an interest rate?



Personal line of credit is the amount of money the lender or credit card company is willing to "lend" you. The better your credit score the higher your personal line of credit will be.

If you have a lot of debt I would suggest consolidating...but @ 18%...that is way to high!

Do debt consolidation loans bring down your credit score?

I'm wondering if debt consolidation loans bring down your credit score? Also are you required to close the credit cards you pay off with the consolidation line of credit?


Why not try to consolidate all the credit cards to one low interest rate card. You can also call each credit card co and ask if there are any special promos to lower interest rate. The big issue would be not to run up additional debt once you have consolidated. It is a common error. Good Luck

If you use credit card consolidation companies to help pay off debt, does this effect your credit rating?

I echo what P S says above, read The Total Money Makeover by Ramsey.

Consolidation companies (most) look like a bankruptcy on your credit report. Also if you don't fix the problem (over spending) consolidation just leads majority of people to get right back into debt via credit cards or the such.

You can do it yourself, you just need a budget and a game plan. Read the above mentioned book and you will be on your way to being debt free!

CREDIT GURUS, HELP!! : High credit card debt, 700 mid-fico, student, job....debt consolidation?

Here's my situation: I have 3 maxed out credit cards totaling 35K (all debt to help a friend in need) and 60K of currently deferred grad school payments. I still have good/decent credit because my wonderful parents put me as an authorized user for all their cards since I was 10. I can't thank them enough. Also, never had one delinquent, etc. The 0% on the cards have now expired and in pretty high rates.

I'm a full-time student and work full-time, but can't show income because only been working two months and it's a commission-based job. On track right now to make over 120K this year, but can't work for the next month and need a credit line or free up one of the cards asap.

Can I move all CC debt into one account? What's the deal with debt consolidation-will it affect my credit score? needed? How about yet another credit card? Any other companies that will see the maxed-out high limit cards and not freak? Any options being a student?
Creativity welcome :-)
Thanks in advance, Sam
