Do you need relief from payday loans? Many people like you get caught in what’s known as the “payday loan cycle”, a ‘borrowing from Peter to pay Paul’ situation where you are juggling payday loans from multiple lenders, trying to keep all of the balls in the air. The sweat begins to trickle down your forehead because you can’t see when it will end, and if you stumble, all the balls will come crashing down, leading to collection calls and wage garnishment. The problem is you don’t know where to turn, and you don’t have the money to pay back everyone on top of your regular costs of living.
When people are struggling with credit card debt, lines of credit and other unsecured debt, they have a few options available to help them. One popular choice is to refinance your home (if you own it with enough equity) which means to increase your mortgage and use that extra money to pay off your credit cards and unsecured debt. That way the unsecured debt you had will now be part of your mortgage, a secured debt. The benefit to doing this is saving money on interest, thus making it more affordable to repay. Mortgages these days have very low interest rates, thanks in part to being a less risky loan for the banks because they are secured by the home. If you cannot make your payments, the bank simply repossesses your home to recover its money. In contrast, credit cards can have much higher interest rates and make repayment of the debt very difficult.
