Debt Denial

admin — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 15:13:27 +0000

Denial is a psychological defence mechanism that people sometimes use as a protection against certain realities that they would prefer to ignore. According to the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud there are various degrees of denial. There is simple denial, which is the form we have described already, there is the act of minimisation, which means that although we accept that a certain unpleasant fact exists, we play down its importance and pretend that it does not have serious consequences when in reality it does. The third type of denial is projection. With projection we accept the existence of a problem, we also accept how serious it is, but what we fail to do is to accept that it is our responsibly; we blame other people for it.

Each one of these forms of denial is typical behaviour of people with serious debt problems. First they will deny that there are any problems at all, despite the fact that they are receiving demands from their creditors and that the brown envelopes are piling up unopened. Secondly they will admit that they are having a few problems paying their bills, but that it is only a temporary glitch in their finances and really nothing to worry about at all; it will all fix itself eventually. With the third form of denial, projection, they will see that there are real financial problems ahead, but they will always find someone else to blame for their personal situation.

Of course, for anybody in serious debt, in whatever form it takes denial is potentially disastrous. Debt will never go away by itself and although it may be difficult to face up to the situation and one’s personal responsibility for it, unless one does so then the eventual outcome will be very painful indeed.

Debt management is all about facing up to the truth of our debt problems and doing something about them. Debt management is a way to overcome these problems and work towards that time when we can become entirely free of them and again hold up our heads in the knowledge that that we are no longer in debt.

Sell and Rent Back Your Property

admin — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 22:27:03 +0000

There are many companies out there who deal in the `sell and rent back your property’ scheme. These companies provide very competitive schemes for selling and renting back, allowing house owners to sell their houses if they are facing some financial crises and they have to pay off their debt. These companies will buy your house from you and, on very flexible terms and conditions, will rent back the very same house to you. They make assurances to offer you the highest price possible for the property and also look into all the legal fees and hassles involved.

If you go through the conventional way of selling your house, you might encounter many problems such as estate agent fees or the legal fees, which may cost you a fortune. If you are waiting for some prospective buyers, they might take time to come with an attractive offer or at times after the deal is all finalized they might withdraw at the last minute.

The companies that deal in `sell and rent back your property’ definitely have a lot of benefits, since there is no estate agent, legal or valuation fees involved and you will be dealing directly with the company. The best part of the whole thing is you can sell your home and still need not vacate it.

The Falling Price of Property

admin — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 22:25:48 +0000

Property prices are falling at a considerable rate and the reason for this could be the economic recession, which has led to a rise in unemployment. There is a credit crunch, and hence there is difficulty in obtaining a mortgage. Initially the mortgage lenders were very keen to attract customers with various promises like 100% mortgages, but with the present economic crisis the banks are finding it difficult to raise finances and hence they are forced to reduce mortgage lending. Low affordability that is in comparison to the income and the house rents are higher, and moreover people are not interested in buying houses when the prices are on the decline.

The real estate market is facing plunging prices, in spite of developers reducing their prices there are not many takers. A couple of years back the rates were sky rocketing and businesses were flourishing. There was a lot of money floating around - or so it seemed – and the bankers were ready to give credit, but with the present economical crunch things have taken a 180 degree turn. The entire scenario has changed.

The fall in property price is mainly due to the recession which has engulfed not only the entire nation but the entire world.

Businesses are being greatly affected and the recession has definitely rendered many people jobless. There are high chances that very soon the inflation might dip to deflation.

Dealing With Plastic Money

admin — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:24:08 +0000

Credit cards are also known as plastic money. A credit card definitely is very useful – not to mention handy - as long as you keep making your payments on time. Credit card debt is the debt incurred by a person who is very careless in their money matters. This particular debt occurs when the user does not pay back the money to the concerned credit card company, and hence the debt will accumulate and increase as a result of the interest and the penalty the company charges for the late payment.

Credit card debt is increasing at an alarming rate because these cards are easily available, and the credit card company itself tries to issue credit cards with multiple schemes and options. With multiple cards one can do any amount of shopping in spite of not having a single penny. The main problem arises when one has to pay back all the money spent at the shops, because while spending most of them forget about their bank balance or income and end up spending much more than their financial capacity.

Certain tips to avoid credit card debit: -

1. Always keep in mind how much money do you have.
2. Avoid mindless shopping.
3. Make a budget and stick to it.
4. Always clear all your credit payments on time to avoid extra charges being levied on it.
