Are you facing the problem of having paycheck swalled by your debt every month? Here are four steps to grill the money pros on how to get back to black.
First of all, categorise your debts, and place the one with the highest interest rate on the top. Then you should concentrate on paying on paying the top of the list off first, and just make the minimum payment on the others.
Secondly, creditors often threaten to send bailiffs to your home if you haven’t paid a bill, as they want to scare you. Before they come, you need to be sued and issued with papers. If they do arrive, wait for them to leave and call your creditors to arrange a payment plan. But, it is obviously that it is far better to deal with debts before it comes to bailiffs.
Besides, putting all your debts on one interest-free card is smart, but they can sting you with high interest on cash withdrawls. if they say you are ineligible for interest-free cards due to a poor credit rating, question them.
Last but not least, we all know about the tactic of taking out your weekly budget of cash in one go, so spending feels more real. But also, divide going-out money, food money and treat money into different purse compartments.
