AskI have a 25K credit in a bank. Due to my emergency CS. I have already budgeted both our income and all is accounted for, meaning, we have no extra to pay for that debt. However, everytime i get extra income, i see to it that i pay it to lessen the principal amount. But as of now, im paying the minimum due amount. I need better idea on how i can lessen my debt. Thanks!

hi Jorayma,
I was in your situation once upon a time.
I discussed with my bank: BPI Credit. I asked them to restructure my credit card debt.
They were open to this only when I failed to pay 1 month. (They did not entertain restructuring at the time when I was still paying each month).
In essence, they converted my debt to a regular fixed-amount monthly payment (instead of a debt that has monthly interest).
Good side of this — you are not marked in the “blacklist” database among the banks/creditors.
Part of the arrangement is that the credit card is “suspended” — you can no longer use it for future (and any current recurring) payments.
You have the option to apply for another credit card — use this option wisely.
Hope this helps.
