Transcript

If you have credit card debt, you're paying the minimum payments, watching your balance grow and spiral out of control. I need you to know that you have options to get ahead of it. For example, if you have $15,000 of credit card debt at 30% APR, you're paying an upwards of $375 a month just in interest. With debt consolidation, you may be able to take out a personal loan at a fixed rate from 5.99% APR. In this case, that would reduce your interest payments by around $300 a month, allowing you to finally make progress on your debt instead of drowning in interest. Of course, rates vary person to person. If you want to look into your options to consolidate credit card payments and help pay them off faster, visit nerdwallet.com today.
