7 12/5/2013 Identifying Financial Stress Do you routinely spend more than you earn? Are you forced to make day-to-day purchases on credit? Are you able to only make the minimum payments on monthly credit card bills? Are you having difficulty stretching your paycheck to meet monthly bills? Are bill collectors calling? Would you have difficulty paying next month s bills if you lost your job? Building a good credit reputation Use credit before you need it. Keep within the obligations of your agreement. Live up to the terms of the contract. Reducing Expenses Cut spending: eliminate unnecessary spending such as eating out, going to movies each week, expensive entertainment. Clip coupons, shop sales, and avoid impulse buying. Consolidate debt: check into mortgage refinancing, home equity loans, and personal loans. Pay cash for purchases when possible. How to rebuild damaged credit Open new accounts and pay them off. Start small Credit cards from department stores, NEA Member Benefits, or your local credit union can be helpful. Consider asking for help If you can t qualify on your own, ask a friend or family member to co-sign for a small loan or credit card. Remember, if you don t make the payment it not only damages YOUR credit but ALSO the person who co-signed on the loan or credit card. Reducing Expenses Get a handle on credit cards (give them a credit card haircut) Did you know By paying $100 towards a $3,000 balance (and not charging anything more to the account), it will take 41 months to pay off the balance (assuming 18% interest) and you would incur $1,042 in interest charges? How to rebuild damaged credit Consider a secured credit card Make sure the grantor reports payment histories to one of the three major credit reporting agencies: Trans Union Equifax Experian Use your new accounts in moderation Keep your balances low Avoid carrying a balance that is more than 30% of your credit limit (creditors may view this as excessive debt). If you are not able to make a payment, call the creditor and make arrangements If you get nowhere, politely hang up, wait ten minutes, call again and speak with a different service representative. Document who you speak with and when 7
