Using credit cards to consolidate your debts is not as effective
as debt reduction. Credit cards often have high rates of
interest, and will often lead you into deeper debts. In fact,
credit cards are one of the leading causes that debtors seek out
debt consolidation solutions.
Debt reduction means that you are working to decrease your bills,
not add or keep the bills in existence by using another source to
pay off the debt. Therefore, instead of considering credit cards
as a source for debt consolidation, you must find a way to reduce
your debts.
Let's say you owe money for your mortgage, car payments,
insurance, utilities, and other bills that add up to $1200 per
month. Now, is there a way we can reduce this amount? Absolutely,
but can we find a mortgage that will refinance our loan and help
us to combine our monthly bills into one payment?
Yes. There are loans available that offer cash back,
underpayment, and overpayment plans; as well as loans that will
wrap your bills into one, combining the bills and adding them to
your monthly installment.
Do not misinterpret this: your utilities are your responsibility,
but for the most part, your car payment, mortgage, and any credit
cards or other loans will be rolled into one monthly payment.
Therefore, if you're paying out of the $1200 up to $800 per month
toward car payments and mortgage, you may find a lender who will
reduce this amount to $600 more or less per month.
Furthermore, if you land a loan that offers cash back, you can
use this money to payoff your debts.
Finally, utilities can be reserved and grocery bills can be
reduced. In addition, insurance coverage can also be reduced.
Therefore, debt reduction is wiser than credit card debt
consolidation in the long run.
