Have you seen the interest rates credit card companies are charging lately? Are you on the receiving end of these rather obscene rates? If you're not, just be late by about 1 second with a payment - you'll see what I'm talking about. People have reported being charged 32% after being late once. That's downright wrong. One of a collection of consumer debt solutions though is debt consolidation. The process of borrowing cash against the equity in your home. These home equity loans are great because they are usually much lower than credit card interest, and you usually can write off a portion or all of the interest paid on your taxes. Beware though, many people get these loans, pay off credit cards, then load the cards back up again. Now stuck with a home equity loan on top of new credit card debt, people are in over their heads. Get a loan and get rid of your cards.
