			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some would say Debt Consolidation is nothing more than a &#8220;con&#8221; because you think you&#8217;ve done something about your debt problem. The debt is still there, as are the habits that caused it! This may be true to a certain extent however, obtaining lower interest rates on your debt is always better than continuing with high interest rates.</p>
<p>David Bach, noted financial author, saysÂ There is,Â a simple solution. The one way to create lasting financial change that will help you build real wealth over time is to . . . MAKE YOUR FINANCIAL PLAN AUTOMATIC! Making your financial plan automatic is the one step that virtually guarantees that you won&#8217;t fail financially.Why? Because by making it automatic, you will have set yourself up for success. And as you will learn in this little book, you can do this in literally minutes.</p>
<p><strong>How Does Debt</strong> <strong>Consolidation</strong> Work ?</p>
<p>Debt Consolidation helps those with high interest rates obtain low interest rates. Typically, the new rates will range somewhere between 0% to 10 %. Most of the time Debt Consolidation clients are set up on an automatic payment draft. That way they do not have to worry about paying eachÂ creditor each month. The paymentÂ process to each creditorÂ is done for them.Â There is no prepayment penalty so clients can always pay more than the minimum amount required. Also participation in Credit Counseling is NOT factored into your <strong>FICOÂ®</strong> score.Â <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);" href="http://www.myfico.com/CreditEducation/WhatsNotInYourScore.aspx">Click here for details</a></p>
<p>Debt consolidation is veryÂ appealing because you can obtain lower interest ratesÂ and a lower payment amount on the debt you owe. It is not a loan so you do NOT have to qualify or put up any of your assets.Â The person consolidating their debt alwaysÂ has the option to pay more. It is recommended that you pay as much as possible to get out of debt that muchÂ faster. TheÂ payments on these programs are typicallyÂ done automatically. By having the debt consolidation draft done automatically you forget about it.Â Debt consolidation isÂ the best optionÂ for obtaining low interest rates fast without a loan.</p>
<p><strong>Debt</strong> <strong>Consolidation</strong> Example</p>
<p>For example, let&#8217;s say you have $30,000 in unsecured debt,Â at an average interest rate of 20%. Let&#8217;s say your total monthly payments on the $30,000 of credit card debt is $660 per month. WithoutÂ debt consolidation and by paying just the minimum due, the total amount of money you would pay getting this debt paid offÂ would be $396,660.00. If you joined a debt consolidation program, paid a level payment amount each monthÂ and your average interest rateÂ was lowered to 10%, the total amount of money you would pay to get your debt paid off would beÂ $38,280.00. Sounds great, doesn&#8217;t it? Who wouldn&#8217;t want to pay $358,380.00 lessÂ in payments?</p>
<p>Debt ConsolidationÂ allows you the opportunity to lower interest rates and lower payment amounts however, if you do not change your spending habits you will eventually end up in the same situation you are right now. The best way to do this is to make a budget for yourself. This willÂ help you target non-productive spending. Use our quick budget calculator atÂ Debt Solutions USA.

<p>Ads abound almost everywhere (online and off) selling books, systems and secrets to help you fix your credit in a hurry. Many of these programs have claims which read like the covers of supermarket tabloids Ã¢Â€ÂœIn 3hrs my credit score jumped from 580 to 676!Ã¢Â€ÂÃ¢Â€Â¦ Ã¢Â€ÂœErase bad credit and smash your debts with just 2 Magic Letters!Ã¢Â€Â. Ã¢Â€ÂœCreate a completely new credit file in 24hrs!Ã¢Â€Â Are these types of claims ALWAYS too good to be true? The answer is Ã¢Â€ÂœYes andÃ¢Â€Â¦ noÃ¢Â€Â.<a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://elecky.niesong.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top"><b>&#8221; Click Here To Read My Story and Find out&#8230;&#8221;</b></a></p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>While many people would love for you to believe that the only thing that can fix bad credit is time; in realityÃ¢Â€Â¦ nothing could be further from the truth. The fact is, time is only one factor which will fix a credit report (but itÃ¢Â€Â™s a far cry from being the only factor). How can I back this up? Easy. Under a consumer protection law known as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (a.k.a. the FCRA) the only negative information which can remain on your credit report is not what is accurateÃ¢Â€Â¦ but what can be proved as such. WhatÃ¢Â€Â™s this mean to you?</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>It means any negative item on your credit report can only remain there if it is accurate and CAN BE PROVED AS ACCURATE under the guidelines of the FCRA. This undisputable fact presents consumers with both good news and bad news. The good news is that through the FCRA your credit score can most likely be improved dramatically in a very short period of time with only a modest amount of effort on your part.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The bad news is that while the actual Ã¢Â€ÂœworkÃ¢Â€Â will take very little of your time, it is vital that you have good information on Ã¢Â€ÂœhowÃ¢Â€Â to go about it. This is the bad news; 9 out of 10 courses on restoring your credit will do nothing more than lead you into a snake pit. This is because they provide you with out-dated Ã¢Â€ÂœBoiler PlateÃ¢Â€Â dispute letters which are rarely effective. These are nothing more than form letters andÃ¢Â€Â¦ quite frankly (more bad news) the Credit Bureaus and Creditors will laugh at you if you try to use them.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>While I agree with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that Ã¢Â€ÂœAnything a Credit Repair Clinic can do for you legally, you can do for yourself at little or not costÃ¢Â€ÂÃ¢Â€Â¦ the key element you need for success is the latest inside techniques and procedures to get the results you want. These involve strategies known as Ã¢Â€ÂœProof of ContractÃ¢Â€Â, Ã¢Â€ÂœConstructive NoticeÃ¢Â€Â, Ã¢Â€ÂœChallenge of ProcedureÃ¢Â€Â or Ã¢Â€ÂœRestrictive EndorsementÃ¢Â€Â and many others.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>All these terms may Ã¢Â€ÂœsoundÃ¢Â€Â impressive but they are really quite simple. In the end, it is nothing more than a method of communication which exercises your consumer protection rights, gets the results you want and raises your credit score. Even more impressive, once you learn how simple it can be by doing it for yourself, you will find there is a fortune to be made doing it for others! Either way, it all starts by requesting a free copy of your credit report by To receive Free Credit Tips including Ã¢Â€ÂœHow to Bullet-Proof Yourself From Identity Theft For FREE!Ã¢Â€Â<a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://creditrepairandsecrets.blogspot.com/" target="_top"><b>Click Here</b></a> </p>
