Debt Problems Can Be Fixed

By Tim Hibbert


Many families are unable to buy everything they want and pay cash for them; therefore, most households find themselves purchasing without paying the full cost upfront. This is called buying with credit. It basically means to make a purchase and pay the store or third party in monthly payments. If it is a third party, they in return pay the store in full on the customer's behalf. This can be done too many times by families and they are not able pay all of their monthly payments. Debt problems can be fixed if families are willing to put in the effort.

Preventative measures can be taken when trying to fix this type of problem. This takes into account knowing the amount of money a person has coming into their home and how much they have in monthly payments for products and services they have already purchased. This also means knowing that a person can not always afford the amount of money that they are approved to be able to use as credit.

A financial adviser is a person that gives recommendations to people of good financial options based on their specific situation. Most would suggest that basic needs are covered before other wants are fulfilled like vehicles, vacations and even savings. Once basic needs are met the household will know how much money they have to spend on their wants.

A vehicle can be a need. For instance, sometimes a person needs to be able to get to work in order to make money to meet their basic needs. Public transportation is not always an option. Either it is not available or not always safe to participate in. A person can save and pay cash for a vehicle to keep from having a monthly payment.

Having a savings can eliminate the need to borrow from a third party. In essence, in stead of borrowing from a third party the person would be borrowing from them self. This would take away from the extra money that a person would spend in paying for interest. It would also decrease the amount of time a person is obligated for the payment.

Bankruptcy is an option for fixing debt problems. It is a court process where the person with debts goes to court to get help with their debts. Multiple types of bankruptcy can be filed.

One type of bankruptcy is to have all debts eliminated and the person is given a fresh start. Another is having their debts consolidated into one affordable monthly payment. An attorney can help with this procedure and it is not always easy to go out and get more credit after filing for bankruptcy.
