Financial expert Rachel Langlois from Cyprus Credit Union explained that dealing with several debts with high interest rates at once can be stressful. Once you pay off one debt, there are three more to take its place. Cyprus Credit Union can help consolidate these debts into one low monthly payment using a personal loan with a low interest rate.
If you own a home, a home equity line of credit may be another option. You can borrow against the equity in your home at a much lower rate than your credit card company. The interest on a home equity line of credit is also tax deductible.
