Debt Reduction Programs : Freedom Debt Relief

December 24, 2008

FDR’s Debt Reduction Program, also know as Debt Negotiation or Debt Settlement, is an aggressive approach to becoming debt free. It is appropriate for debtors with a serious amount of debt or who are considering credit counseling or bankruptcy. The program’s goal is to find the optimal solution to lower your debts, help you deal with your creditors, and get you on the road to financial freedom.

Debt Reduction Steps

The Debt Reduction Program is very effective. Here is a step-by-step overview:

Step 1: Call or e-mail us for a free consultation. We will assess your financial situation and determine your potential for debt reduction.

Step 2: We will work with you to determine the appropriate monthly dollar amount that you plan to save towards a negotiated settlement. This amount is typically significantly less than your current minimum payments, and goes toward paying off your debt (not simply paying credit card interest charges). These funds will be saved every month in a new account that you set up and control. Read more

Which Debt Reduction Program is Right You?

July 10, 2008

Debt reduction programs can be a great help in assisting you with paying off your debts. There are several ways to make a program to reduce your debt. The three top ways are to make a program on your own, use a company or use a software program. To get an idea of which choice might be the best one for you, read below.

A program made on your own basically consists of listing your income and debts and then determining how you want to pay off each debt. You may choose to start with the lowest balance debt, the debt with the highest interest rate, or even the debt with the highest balance. Of course, since you would be creating the program your self, it would be free and only cost you the time it takes to create the plan.

If you do not feel comfortable creating your own debt reduction program, you may wish to use a company to help guide you in the right direction. The company would essentially create the plan the same way as you would your self, but they also would be able to give many tips on ways you could pay off your debt faster. Because you would be using the services of the company, there would generally be a fee and this would be the most costly of the three choices. Read more

Simple Steps For Easy Credit Card Debt Reduction

July 9, 2008

Getting into debt is so easy but getting out of it, well… that’s another story. Credit card debt reduction can and, more importantly, will happen with planning and discipline in the way you spend money.

Credit card debt reduction starts with reducing the amount your spend and add to your card balance. So, the very first step you need to take is to go shopping without your card and use cash only. This reduction technique does not require you to stop shopping, but instead requires you to seriously evaluate the need of any item you want to purchase and not just purchase it on the spur of the moment. If you find that the item is something which you do really need and you do not have the cash available, you can always go home and get your credit card. By doing this, you will be more inclined to avoid costly impulse purchases. This can be a very effective technique to reduce your credit card balances by preventing you from accumulating bigger balances and causing you to get further into debt. Read more
