Credit card is one of the symbol of a success. Having credit
card can be assumed that you are eligible and trusted for some financial
status. With credit card, we can use our bank money to pay something that we
want, and we can pay them later. What a convenience. We don’t have to carry
cash everywhere, and isn’t it awesome
Well, if you are in money and use credit card only for a
media to switch between using cash into a card, which of course could be more efficient
and save, then it will be no problem, but if you use it as your last resource,
than you are most likely will end up in trouble just as I was before.
Being in credit card debt, without knowing how to settle it
could be very frustrating, because the more time you delay, the interest will
haunt you like a scary ghost, like a shadow, haunt you everywhere. It’s not impossible, that this problem which
started like small thing can really eat your soul and ruin your family, your
future, and your family future.
That’s why I would like to share to us all, that we should
very very careful before we step on this bank’s trap, before you regret it. And
if there’s any chance for you not to have a credit card, so stay away. Use
debit card will be more applicable especially for person who don’t know when to
stop. Trust me, you will prefer to live poor without debt than you poor and
haunted by credit card collector, trust me, you won’t be there, I know I won’t.
Avoiding is the best
way
So to avoid that, what we have to do is manage our financial
carefully, as I said before, if it possible, just do not ever apply for credit
card loan, because even if you don’t use it, annually you will be charged for
administration, so it’s better to have debit card, instead.
And for those who happen to be lucky enough to have enough
financial income, and you think you can manage the beast inside your credit
card, please be careful of using and paying that card. Do not get tempted to
pay minimum payment only, because that’s how your hole is dug. And it will get
more deeper and deeper until it sink you alive.
How to survive
For those who unfortunate and stuck with credit card debt
situation, it’s a sad but trust me, no one will help you until you can help
yourself. People need you to convince them to help you, so you have to get back
on your feet and try to figure it out yourself before asking for help, unless
you will get laugh at, trust me.
Well , I can give you some tips about it, which I hope can
help you settle it out.
1. Cut your card
Cut off your credit card, doesn’t mean that
you have to throw it yet, because you still need it to pay your debt, right.
Cutting the card will emphasis you that you have enough with it, and for all
this trouble you blame this card, not blaming yourself. It also make you stop
thinking to get more loan to pay the other load, which will not help at all. If
you have some long term loan without any interest that will be a good day dream
to overcome all this problem but if you don’t, than that first step could be
your good first move.
2. Make a priority list
Write down your debt and focus on the
lowest one. The more card you can pay and closed, will give encouraging impact
for yourself, and assure you that you can survive this problem.
Just close your ear and focus on that
lowest one, focus and try your best to get it paid and done. Reduce your meal
if you have to, reducing entertainment budget is a must, and remember, the
faster you paid them all, the faster you’ll get back your dignity and life.
3.
Get bank amnesty
If the country can ask for debt wipe out
scheme, why can’t we? Try to call the bank and ask about debt settlement
scheme. Although your name maybe will be in the blacklist as unperformed
debitur, but trust me, you won’t be worry about it now, and trust me also, as
soon as you have much money in the bank, nobody will care about this bad list,
other bank will offer you more and more credit card for you, which I think that
time you won’t be interested in anymore.
Tell the bank that you can afford to pay them
anymore, tell them you broke, which is not to hard to tell because you are. Ask
for bank debt wipe out. I know it sounds too optimistic, and surely no bank
will give you that before you die, literally, so your target is actually to
negotiate with them. For them I’m sure half of their money is better than
nothing, so be sure that you will take half of your debt instead of nothing, so
deal with them. But also calculate your financial situation, because you will
keep that deal, otherwise it will canceled and you will be in zero square
again, which you don’t want it. After you get the settlement scheme, stick with
it, do everything legal to fulfill it, and at the end of it, you will feel like
winning the war and ready for other war. It will also discipline yourself to
manage your money more wisely.
Above of all, I will again assure you, having credit card is
a nightmare, if you don’t have money, credit card is not a solution for sure,
if you are in money, why don’t you just use debit card, instead. Credit card is
an evil product to trap us on their cruel game. Even maybe the bank will not
literally do that, but those evil people work in this industry do. They have a
record for bad debt and this loan shark with after you like a real shark ready
to eat your life.
Say no to credit card, be patient to yourself, find any
resource you can increase your income legally. Because the money is out there,
you just don’t know it yet.
Only loser can't survive this, sure you're not one of them.
