Debt Relief Experts
When you are awake at night thinking of your debt problems….
When you are staring at your mail, wondering what bill to pay first…
When you are thinking of visiting a payday loan lender just to get through until next week…
Consider these ten key strategies to solve your debt problems.
Yes, you can pay off your debt. Here are 9 key strategies to get you out of debt sooner.
- Make all your minimum payments. Paying the minimum won’t reduce your balances, but it will preserve your credit rating.
- Stop using credit. Don’t let your balances get any higher.
- If you can’t control your spending, leave your credit cards at home.
- Pay as much money towards your debt as you can.
- Save interest by focusing on high interest debt first.
- Double down on your payments. Once you pay off one credit card, apply that payment amount to your next debt.
- Put extra cash towards debt. You’ll benefit in the long run because you’ll reduce what you pay in interest.
- Should you cash in your RRSP? Cashing in existing retirement savings to repay your debt can have unexpected financial costs. We recommend speaking with a Licensed Insolvency Trustee before you take this step.
- Talk with a professional. Did you know Licensed Insolvency Trustees are the only federally regulated debt experts in Canada? An LIT is qualified to provide you with a range of options to deal with your debt.
Debt free in 30, it’s that simple.
- Make All Your Minimum Payments. Paying the minimum won’t reduce your balances, but it will preserve your credit rating. Make a list of every outstanding debt and set up a process to keep up with at least the necessary minimum payments.
- Stop Using Credit. Stop building your credit balances even higher. Use cash instead of credit. Consider the convenience of debit as an alternative to credit cards.
- Take Control of Your Spending. If you can’t control your spending, leave your credit cards at home. If your credit card company offers to increase your limit – say no. If discretionary spending is running your repayment plan, track your expense and cut back. Use gift cards to set spending limits at any one store.
- Pay As Much Money Towards Your Debt As You Can. Paying down debt means paying less interest charges, freeing up money for other needs. The more you apply to debt repayment, the more money you’ll have available for other things.
- Recognize There are Barriers to Paying Down Debt. Debt has been a problem in Canada for years and more Canadians are suffering from debt vulnerabilities. Learn about the barriers you may be facing and how to overcome them.
- Pay Off High Interest Debt First. Save money on interest costs by paying down high-interest debt like credit cards first. Paying less interest frees up money to pay off debt faster.
- Double Down on Your Payments. Once you pay off one credit card, apply that payment amount to your next debt. By doubling up on your payments, your overall debt load will fall much faster.
- Put Any Extra Cash Towards Debt. Apply any extra money you receive, like a tax refund, Christmas bonus or a gift of money, towards debt repayment. You’ll benefit in the long-run because you will reduce your interest costs.
- Should You Cash in Your RRSP or Savings? Cashing in existing retirement savings to repay your debts can have unexpected financial costs and may not be the best strategy as this is money that should be reserved for your retirement. Most RRSPs are protected in a bankruptcy or consumer proposal. We recommend speaking with a Licensed Insolvency Trustee before you take this step.
- Talk With a Licensed Insolvency Trustee. Did you know Licensed Insolvency Trustee (LIT) are the only federally regulated debt experts in Canada? An LIT is qualified to provide you with a range of debt relief options to deal with your debt and make a plan to build a better financial future.
