Keep a Tally of Your Payments

February 20th, 2008 by debt-advisor

The final part of your notebook is a running tally of what you have paid, when you paid it, and what you still owe. Again, each creditor should have its own subsection. You may even want to put your monthly bills in their proper place in the notebook.
You can even put each check as it clears your account in this section. You can monitor payments and outstanding debt in various ways:

  • You can do it by hand by subtracting your payment each month from your previous month’s balance.
  • You can use a spreadsheet. Spreadsheets are part of many computer systems; Microsoft Works, which is found on many PCs, has one built in.
  • You can buy a computer program, such as Quicken, to help you. These programs have some cool charts and graphs that will let you see your debt shrinking in 3-D.

If you adopt this program and see it through, you should begin to see some dramatic results in a short period of time. Just as debt seems to have an almost mystical way of growing in the blink of an eye, so too does it have a way of shrinking when you begin to take action. As time goes by, and as your debts reduce, you will be able to devote even more money toward your debt-reduction plan, making it shrink all the faster. Before you know it, you will be out of debt.

Debt Collector: Remember Me?

February 20th, 2008 by debt-advisor

At this point, you may be thinking that Dr. Bombay won’t take $9 a month. Maybe not, but maybe he will. Actually, some of your creditors might be very happy to hear your voice. Especially if you have been avoiding them and reneging on your responsibility to pay what you owe them. A phone call with a repayment plan, even a small repayment plan, can be seen as better than nothing. Explain to each creditor on your list what you are doing. Tell the creditors

  • You are sorry for allowing this debt to get out of hand. If you express regret, you may find that the creditor will be far more willing to work with you.
  • ? You have every intention of paying them back in full.
  • Paying them back will, however, take some time. You owe a lot of people money, not just them.
  • You have a plan of action to pay everyone back, and in it you will be treating each creditor equally. The creditor to whom you owe the most money will be paid the most. It is a fair plan.
  • You understand that they want more money each month than you are proposing, but at this time, you are doing you best. In time, as the debts shrink, you hope to be able to pay more.
  • You would like their cooperation. If they could stop adding interest, they would get paid sooner, and your job would be easier.

Sam had ignored his Gottshalk’s Department Store bill for five months and owed them $1,100 when he finally created a plan that called for him to pay them $75 a month. Once he got up the nerve to call customer service, Sam explained his situation, apologized, and proposed his plan. Gottshalk’s agreed to cut his interest rate from 11.9 percent to 7.9 percent.
This last part is the trickiest. Creditors don’t have to agree to anything, certainly not a cessation or reduction of interest. But if you are honest with them and if they see that you are endeavoring to do the right thing, they just might agree. After all, the last thing they want to see is a default.
If they tell you they will not accept $9 a month, that they will sue, or will write off the debt and sell it to a collection agency, listen politely, and send them the money anyway. The odds are that they will cash the check, however unhappily.
Credit card companies might not be so generous. They are usually very difficult to deal with and do not often negotiate. Yet, as with other creditors, an honest attempt on your part to settle your bill can go a long way. Do your best to get them to lower
interest and finance charges, pay what you can afford to pay, and begin to make some headway.
There are downsides to this sort of plan. By consistently paying less than you owe there is a possibility that your creditors may report you as paying late every month. Or they may cancel your credit altogether. If this is of concern to you, you may want to pay those creditors whose credit you still want more and the others less, at least until they are paid off.

Debt Payment Calculations

February 20th, 2008 by debt-advisor

To figure out how much each creditor gets, multiply its percentage by the amount you can afford to pay (we promise there will be no more math after this!). Because Ryan can afford $100 a month and his mom gets 22 percent, he needs to multiply her percentage, 0.22, by $100: .22 ??$100 = $22. If Ryan could afford $200 a month, Dr. Bombay would get 9 percent multiplied by $200: $18.
Ryan, like you, would then need to pay these amounts each and every month to his creditors. As it stands, Ryan will devote $100 to getting out of debt, with each creditor getting a percentage according to how much Ryan owes them. This is where your commitment comes in. You must set aside that amount, whatever it is, every month and earmark it toward these debts. Each creditor will have to share whatever it is you can afford. The only way to get out of debt is to get out of debt. It is not easy. That is why you must be committed.
For various reasons, your plan may not exactly reflect how much you owe each creditor. One debt may have such high interest that it must be paid more, or another creditor may be bothering so much that you just want to get rid of it as fast as possible. These adjustments are fine; the important thing is to create a plan that works, that you can live with, and that you are committed to.
For example, you may decide that the best course of action is to get rid of the credit card with the highest interest rate first and then worry about the others. We have no problem with that—in fact, it’s smart. The important thing is to create a plan that you believe in and that works. Pick a plan, any plan. Once you do, the important thing is that you will be getting out of debt instead of going into debt.

Calculating Your Debt Percentages

February 20th, 2008 by debt-advisor

This list tells you how much each creditor is going to get each and every month, depending upon how much you can afford to pay. How much can you afford to pay? If you have a budget, you know. If not, you still intuitively know how much you can afford to repay every month—$25, $50, $200, whatever works.
Let’s go back to Ryan and see how this process works. His budget will allow him to dedicate only $100 each month toward these bills. (We are not saying not to pay your bills if you can afford to pay them. This tool is for those bills that you have fallen behind on and/or feel overwhelmed by.) Each creditor will get its percentage of that $100

Calculating Your Debt

You then need to figure out what percentage each debt is of the entire amount. It’s not that hard to do. First, add up your total debt. In Ryan’s case, it is $11,500. To figure out each creditor’s share of the whole debt, divide each creditor’s amount by the entire debt. For example, the Armata Visa bill ($5,000) divided by the entire amount ($11,500) equals .43, or 43 percent. That bill is 43 percent of Ryan’s total indebtedness. The next thing to do is to add that figure onto your list, next to each creditor’s name and the amount owed. In Ryan’s case, the list would look like this:

The Plan to Eliminate Debt

February 12th, 2008 by debt-advisor

Again, this plan to pay off your debt will not be at the expense of the rest of your life—in fact, it cannot be done that way. If you set up a plan that involves renouncing all you enjoy, you will not stick to the plan. Because you will not have been spending any money, and when you do break your budget plan, you may well binge, putting yourself worse in debt than before you started. You will continue to eat, live, entertain, go to school, have lunch out, and so on. You will just be adding one more category to your expenses: debt repayment.

 

Your payments may not be that much at the beginning; whatever you can afford is what you should pay. This is going to be a plan that works, one you can live with. Although it might be a modest beginning, creating such a plan is a significant moment in your financial life. It is the moment when you stop going into debt and start getting out.
