Ways of Eliminating Credit Card Debt
By Manny St Cyr
One of the best things you can do for your personal finances is to eliminate credit card debt. It is very simple to actually get into the debt trap, but getting out is a little more complicated. While it is complicated, it is certainly not impossible to eliminate credit card debt, especially with some assistance.
First, if you have a small amount of debt you can try to transfer your credit card balances from a card with monthly interest to a card that offers a period of zero percent interest. If you have good overall credit there are many companies that should be willing to extend a credit card to you with this offer on credit balances. Most card companies offer this as an introductory period, generally for around six months to a year. Depending on the size of your debt, this should be enough time to eliminate credit card debt because you are paying directly to your debt and not finance charges. Again, if you have larger amounts of debt this may not be the way to go if you cannot afford the payments to pay off the debt before the introductory zero percent interest period is over.

line of credit or use a credit counseling service to eliminate credit card debt. Using a home equity line is usually only beneficial if you have a large credit card balance and cannot escape a large percentage rate on your credit card financing for various reasons. If you use a home equity line, you can then get a lower interest rate through the bank and eliminate credit card debt by paying the balance off in full. If this option will not work for your situation, you can use the assistance of a credit counseling service or a credit elimination service. Credit counseling services negotiate with credit card companies to get lower monthly payments that go towards the debt and not the interest so you pay off the debt faster. Credit elimination services are usually a last resort and for use in extreme situations. These companies work on your behalf to negotiate with credit card companies to eliminate credit card debt without payment.
As you can see, there are several options to eliminate credit card debt. With some calling, paperwork and determination it can be done much more quickly than by paying the minimum payment each month on your credit card statement.
