Feel the Charm of Debt Relief

We all love to be free of debt. Being free of the burden of debt is liberating. Bank on your decent income and stay debt. But let me tell you that’s not the life for many people. Here are some tips for living a credit-free life:

Keep a fund for hard times: There are people who use credit cards for emergencies. Instead, you can use the money that you aren’t paying towards debt to create a fund, to rescue you when something unexpected comes up. $1,000 is a good amount to start with.
Pay off Credit Card Debt: Credit card debt is the number one obstacle to getting ahead financially. Despite our good resolves to pay the balance off quickly, the reality is that we often don't, and end up paying far more for things than we would have paid if we had used cash.
Use Debit (Debt) Card: Debit card (or Debt Card) is a plastic card, which looks similar to a credit card that consumers may use at ATM or to make purchases, withdrawals, or other types of electronic fund transfers. In some situations, you may need a credit card to buy something online. Use your debit or debt card here. If that has the name of a big company, you should not have any problem and would work at every place.
Don’t pay interest, earn it: The interest you pay for your debt or credit eats away at your finances. The problem with debt or credit is that you waste money paying interest. Instead, make your money work for you by investing it. With the magic of compound interest, your investments will grow over time, meaning that money you would have been paying toward interest is now earning interest instead and multiplying. That’s good math.
Do cash purchase of your car: If you have a car debt, what you actually do is you end up paying an amount by which you could have bought two cars over the course of the loan. So, get it in cash.
Invest for retirement: No matter what your credit or debt situation is, keep accelerating your retirements.

Most important is to understand the Rules of the Law….
How? Know to use the security and help provided by federal law. For once, let the law work for you!
The objective of the Creditor and debt collection laws (both federal and state) are to stop the abuse and harassment you may face from collection agents and employees of creditors trying to recover debts.

The section of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act figures out illegal tactics such as intimidation, filthy, profane, or abusive language and telephone calls, which are resorted to by many creditors to scare you into paying a debt right away.
Always remember that FDCPA is a federal law that outlines what information debt collectors can collect on you. You need to know about the specific rules on how debt collectors can converse with you at home as well as at work. These rules are intended to guard you from ill-treatment, pestering, false and deceptive actions and prohibited debt collector strategies.

Follow these tips, and I’m sure you really are going to enjoy the charm of debt liberation.
