Is there a way to just say "Go Debt!" and make it all go away. Unfortunately it isn't as easy as that but there are things that you can do.
If you have a debt problem you would probably just like to say "Go Debt!" and make it all go away. Unfortunately things are not as simple as that and you will need to take specific and sometimes difficult decisions to get rid of your debt. You are the most important part of any debt solution.
Preparation - What is Your Current Financial Situation
You need to write down all of your debts so that you have a full picture of how much you owe. Also, you will need to do a family budget to show all of your income and costs. This will show how much (if anything) you can afford to pay towards your debt.
Make a Plan and Take Action
If you can comfortably pay all your bills and your debt repayments then you don't have a huge problem - just keep making the payments or even increase them and your debt will be gone eventually. If you don't have enough to pay all of your repayments then you should think about seeking help from a qualified debt advisor to help you sort out your problems. Possible solutions would include bankruptcy or a debt management plan.
Go Debt - And Stay Away
You need to carefully consider what it was that got you into debt in the first place and what you can do to stop it happening again. Sometimes overspending and debt can be a symptom of more serious emotional problems. If you don't sort these issues out you will find the same mistakes repeating themselves.
