You may dream of a "debt free me" but how can you make this dream a reality?

Are you having trouble imagining a "debt free me"?  Do your debt problems just seem to big to ever escape from?  Well the good news is that however large your debt problems are there is always a way to get out of them.  I'm not going to say that the things you have to do are always easy or without pain,Routes to a  Articles but if you're determined to escape your debt problem then you WILL be able to.

A Debt Free Me - Through Declaring Bankruptcy

The easiest way to prove that you can escape from your debt problem is to give the example of bankruptcy.  In the UK you will be able to declare bankruptcy if you have a significant level of debt and all of your personal debt (excluding secured lending like mortgages and car loans) will be gone.  It's not a decision to be taken lightly, but it does get rid of all of your debt immediately.

A Debt Free Me - Through Credit Counseling

A debt counseling program may be able to help negotiate reduced interest payments/accept lower monthly payments.  It might even be able to write-off some of your debt.  This will make it easier to repay your debt but will have an impact on your credit score.

A Debt Free Me - Through Hard Work and Budgeting

If you are in work and have income that you can use to pay off your debts then it's surprising how quickly you can start to make a difference.  Do a full budget and try and cut down on your spending wherever you can - use the extra money to pay off your debt more quickly.  Always pay off your debt in order starting with the debts with the highest rate of interest.
