You’ve just ordered your credit report and you’ve found that it’s a little less than satisfactory. Or maybe it’s a lot less than satisfactory, and you want to fix it fast so that people and institutions will trust you once more with their money. After all, if you have bad credit, you can’t buy a house, a car, get a cell phone, or anything else that involves a contract or risk. You need good credit in order to obtain some of life’s luxuries and for that reason, the government is offering government grants for debt relief.
Grants, Not Loans
The difference between a grant and a loan is that a grant doesn’t need to be paid back. It’s sort of like a gift from Uncle Sam, a donation to help you get back on track. Why would the government want to help you with your debt? The answer is that, without good credit, the economy suffers because you are no longer purchasing the big ticket items that require good credit. If you aren’t buying cars, houses, and such, then there becomes a trickle effect all throughout the economy, and this is bad for business and our nation as a whole. So, now that you know why there are government grants for debt relief, the next step is finding out how to get one of those grants for yourself. Read the rest of this entry »

At one time a large portion of student loans ended up in bankruptcy court but recent changes in the federal bankruptcy code has erased the possibility of obtaining student loan debt relief through the bankruptcy court. There are very few circumstances in which student loans can be eliminated through bankruptcy and the courts, as well as the creditors, are quick to dispute any attempts.
Many students loans were obtained with the knowledge that repayment would not have to begin until after graduation and with loans for post-graduate studies, by the time the students ends their educational career, they are burdened with obligations. Many student loan debt relief companies offer those students the opportunity to consolidate their debts allowing them to make only one monthly payment, which is often less than the total of individual payments.

With so many options and services available getting out from under heavy credit card debt is not that difficult, but finding secured debt relief without losing the items used as collateral for the debt, can be a little tougher. Secured debts most often involve car loans, home mortgages or some other tangible property that can be repossessed and sold to help the creditor recoup some of the money on the loan.
Once an item has been repossessed and sold, any balance on the principal remaining as well as the costs associated with the financial recovery is charged to the debtor. Many times people taking out loans for home improvements, additions or some personal items, including elaborate vacations, take out a second or even third mortgage on their home. The money spent on the vacation is now considered part of the home mortgage and makes getting secured debt relief even harder. Read the rest of this entry »

It may be typical for foundations to not fund debt relief and if they do then it is for a long-term relationship and for non-profit. Nevertheless, even if these non-profits win debt relief grants for the first time, they may not be permitted to go to the debt relief “well” immediately after, if ever. Of course, to get the debt relief grant, the grantor will require the grantee to show in writing the plans for effectively raising the funds so that the books can stay balanced. If the grantee is unable to produce ample earned income, it becomes necessary to look for debt relief grants.
Have Clear Viable Plans
So, if you are looking for a debt relief grant and are using a consultant to get you one, make sure that you don’t do business with one that uses words like “lots” in identification of funding prospects, which is nothing better than an unqualified statement regarding the funding of a project.
