Some debts are too big to handle simply by tightening your belt or exercising better budgeting techniques. When you start to feel like your debt is out of control, it’s time to consider your options to find debt relief. There are a variety of different relief options you can choose, but the goal of each is to help reduce the monthly burden of your debts to make paying back what you owe more manageable.

If you’re facing mounting problems with credit card debt, consider all your options carefully—the right debt solution can mean the difference between getting your finances back on track or going to court to file for bankruptcy. Before you choose any debt relief option, consult with a certified credit expert, like a credit counselor, to make sure you make the right decision for your finances.

Credit Card Debt Relief Option 1: Debt Negotiation

The first avenue to consider if you need relief from the monthly burden of your credit card debt is to negotiate for lower interest rates from your individual creditors. In some cases, simply reducing the interest rate on your credit card account can provide relief. Your debt doesn't accumulate as quickly and this can often reduce your monthly payments. Since you are negotiating with creditors directly, you are likely to need a strong repayment history and/or a good credit rating to show them you are a good candidate to have your interest rates reduced.

Credit Card Debt Relief Option 2: Debt Consolidation Loan

Much like a balance transfer, a debt consolidation loan allows you to move existing balances from your high interest credit cards into one low interest account. As a loan, however, you may be able to get even better interest rates than what you can qualify for on a credit card. Debt consolidation loans can be unsecured or secured, such as with a home equity loan. You need a good credit rating to qualify for the interest rates that make this a good option for debt relief.

A note on home equity loans: Most experts agree you should never use your home equity to pay off credit card debts. Credit cards are unsecured and you have a wide range of options if you are facing difficulty making the payments. Your home loan is a secured debt—so while the equity loan can reduce your payments, if you get behind the lender can foreclose. You can lose your home.

Credit Card Debt Relief Option 3: Debt Settlement

In some cases, even a debt management program can’t help pay back your debts in-full. If your debt has gotten to the point that there’s no way to pay back everything you owe, it may be time to consider debt settlement options—a standard debt settlement agreement or a more formal consumer proposal. Both options allow you to settle debt for less than the full amount owed. You pay one lump sum payment or agree to a partial repayment schedule.
