I'm wanting to get a small loan that will put my car as collateral. Mainly I want to pay off credit card debt the loan is around 5,ooo my debt isn't that much but the interest is killing it. I want to settle it my visa credit card (aspire visa) it was recently turned over to Gamache and Meyers law office. I am scared because I don't know what my rights are and want my credit back again. I've only received one letter from them letting me know that my debt is with them now, that's it don't want monthly payments just want to do one lump sum any advice? I feel lame my debt is under 5,000.00 compared to some I've seen on here. Just overwhelmed with bills, bills, live paycheck to paycheck have two car payments the normal household bills just want some control again.


chrissy...I'm not sure it's a good thing to take out another loan to pay off debt. Especially one that will put your car at risk if you have a problem occur and can not make the payments. Then you will lose your car and have another issue to deal with. Personally I would opt for making payment arrangements with the Collection agency or go into a debt management program. As a registered guest you can take advantage of the free consult. They may have some more suggestions for you.

I thought about taking a loan out for my debt too. After taking the time to really think about it, I realized that is what got me into this mess in the first place and taking another loan out would just be a band aid. I needed to get my spending under control. Just think long and hard before doing anything. I too would try to set up payments with the collector.
