Where can my husband get debt consolidation to pay off credit card debts without collateral?

We went to apply at a credit union and the first time the lady said that we was approved of the amount that we asked for without collateral and that the next day we could fill out the forms and get our loan. The next day we went, it was a totally different woman and story. She told use that we was not approved at all for the amount of the loan that we have asked for but that they colud offer us another amount in which was not enough to pay off one of the four credit cards that we have. It%26#039;s very, very fraustrating because we pay all our bills on time and we do make the mininmum payments on the credit cards which ranges from $50-$100 but that%26#039;s not enough for them. We just want to pay off the credit cards and to build our credit back up again. What can we do? We need some help!!!

1. You can try again in a few months after making higher than just minimum payments. Once you pay down some debt, your score may be high enough to qualify.



2. You can make higher than minimum payments for several months, and then contact your credit card companies to request a lower rate. That can help you pay them off even faster, and it may lower your payment slightly if you need a break.



3. You can use the equity in your home to get a home equity loan. This can give you a much lower rate that may also decrease your income tax burden (ask your tax adviser). It does mean that you are securing what was once an unsecured debt with your greatest asset. If you are not a homeowner with equity, then this is not an option.

Five Things Every Woman Should Know



BEFORE Signing Any Credit Application!

======================================...



Have you ever wondered if banks



have a tendency to approve credit cards



and loans for one sex more than the



other? If you are married (or plan to



be) I will share with you five vital



keys every married person should know



before signing any credit application.



VITAL KEY #1: According to the Federal



Equal Credit Opportunity Act (FECOA)



creditors cannot deny consumers access



to credit because of their sex.



However, on average (in surveys) it%26#039;s



reported that women earn less money



than men. Regardless of what the FECOA



states, the relationship of credit to



income is very strong.



In our society if you make less



money you will get less credit, period.



The sad fact is that women on there own



have less access to credit. It%26#039;s for



this reason (I believe) it is



imperative that women learn and acquire



more knowledge about credit than men.



Knowledge is power; and in the world of



credit that knowledge will often times



prove to be priceless, especially for



women.



VITAL KEY #2: If you are a married



woman with JOINT credit (meaning all



your credit accounts are jointly held



with your husband) you have NO CREDIT



yourself. Many women in America find



this out the hard way every year when



they get divorced and lose all their



credit privileges since all their



accounts were jointly held with their



spouse. If you are a woman in this



position you can greatly benefit by



beginning to build your own credit in



your own name starting today! The



benefits are two fold.



1.) If your spouse has financial



difficulties (for any reason) and is



forced to file bankruptcy or their



credit becomes derogatory, you and your



spouse will have your credit in reserve



to survive on.



2.) If you ever get divorced down the



road (over 50% do and 76% in the state



of California) you will NOT end up in



financial hardship due to no credit



and/or derogatory credit. Instead, you



will have your credit to transition to



and (believe me) this can be the



difference between sailing off in the



sunset or drowning in a storm.



VITAL KEY #3: If you are currently



married (with some credit or no credit)



to a spouse who has excellent credit,



you can leverage their credit to build



credit in your own name much faster



than if you had to build it by



yourself. Later, once you have



established enough accounts on your



own, you may choose to cancel accounts



that were held jointly with your spouse.



VITAL KEY #4: If you are a single



woman with excellent credit and are



getting married you may want to think



twice about adding your new lover to



all your credit accounts. If he messes



up or you end up in divorce down the



road your credit will end up taking the



beating (regardless of how many years



you diligently spent building it up).



For this reason, I strongly suggest



married couples keep their credit



separate. Why?



In most cases spouses have far more



to lose than to gain. Naturally, some



credit will have to be joint no matter



what you do. If you purchase a home



(which may require both incomes to



qualify) this will appear as a joint



account on the credit report. However,



the potential abuse with a home



mortgage is almost non existent as



opposed to Credit Cards.



VITAL KEY #5: Spouses have more to



gain by each building strong individual



credit reports rather than joining all



accounts and building one joint report.



For obvious reasons, banks and credit



card companies love the %26quot;credit



ignorance%26quot; of spouses who join all



their credit accounts upon marriage.



Here%26#039;s why: If you take 500,000



couples with credit before they got



married, those 500,000 couples actually



represent one million credit accounts



and liabilities for the banks and



lenders. When those couples got



married, those one million credit



liabilities were instantly were cut in



half from one million to only 500,000.



For banks this is a very advantageous



situation. For the couples getting



married (if they have financial



trouble) the deal is a little raw. If



they have trouble, although they are



two people, they are represented by



only one credit report. The bank now



has the right to go after two different



people for one account (regardless of



who was financially negligent).



For moment, let%26#039;s play out the same



scenario with a couple which is



financially savvy (note: they%26#039;re both



on the same %26quot;team%26quot; but financially



savvy). In this scenario, the couple



gets married, but instead of joining



account each builds their individual



credit reports. Now this couple (team)



has not one credit report representing



them but two. Metaphorically, if the



perfect storm (financially) is to rise,



this is the difference between the



couple being in the ocean with two



ships instead of one. If the one ship



starts to sink, the couple can always



%26quot;jump ship%26quot; to the second.



While some may criticize this



thinking it is no different than buying



any kind of insurance. You buy



insurance not because you plan on a



problem. You buy insurance because you



are thinking ahead. This type of



thinking is no different. However, if



you want to be ahead of the pack that



you need to think ahead of the pack.



I cannot tell you how many times I



have talked to loving married couples



in financial trouble who only WISHED



they would have known about these five



vital keys before they got into



financial trouble. Take them, study



them, apply them to your life. As I



heard one woman put it %26quot;In business and



in life I%26#039;ve learned to expect the best



but plan for the worst%26quot;. I thought her



words were brilliant. However, I have



found that when I expect the best...



many times I tend to get it! Take



these five vital keys. Study them.



Apply them. Then pass them on to



someone else who can benefit from them.
