Re: Home Equity Loan to Pay Credit Card Debt, Bad Idea

Commercial debt refinancing organisations take ~15% of any payments you make, reducing the amount your creditors get. There is no point in using them because there are several charities and government/industry funded not for profit companies which make no charge to you or your creditors -

- Free debt management companies: and

- Free debt advice:

Payplan are funded by the credit industry as a whole -

"Every penny you pay into a Payplan arrangement goes to your creditors and reduces what you owe. This is because we receive funding from the credit industry who recognise the need for a free service."

The Consumer Credit Counselling Service (CCCS) is a charity -

"The Consumer Credit Counselling Service is a registered charity whose purpose is to assist people who are in financial difficulty by providing free, independent, impartial and realistic advice. "

The National Debt Helpline is a charity -

"We are a charity (Registered Charity Number 1099506) formed in 1991 to increase the quality and availability of free, independent money advice in the UK."

There is an excellent forum for debt issues here - - TMF Dealing With Debt board.

Start here -

Many of the people have been there, done that, & got the T-shirt, so the advice is from people who have a detailed knowledge of the subject.
