Credit and Debt in Spain
No CommentsAccording to financial investigators in Spain, 43 percent of the country’s households have credit problems, and in many cases this was due to an indiscriminate and irresponsible use of credit cards. Unfortunately, this means that these families lack access to the benefits of other types of credit as well, unless they do something to pay its debts and repair your credit history.
However, overall it is very likely that those with an excess of debts incurred through the misuse of credit cards and feel despair and shame, then, could not manage to do anything to fix it. Since the bankruptcy filing laws are pretty tough for those with income, they think that their credit will be limited for life. However, going against what the Spanish lawyers specializing in credit card debt will tell you, filing for bankruptcy is not always the answer. With a good degree of discipline and commitment is possible to get out of debt and repair, over time, damaged credit history.
To achieve this there are three fundamental steps. The first is to leave aside the shame. You must remember that the credit system was established on the basis that some will not be able to pay its debts and that’s why interest is paid, to offset the risks of lenders. To understand things better consider this: if you buy shares of a company and their value decreases because the company has financial problems, nobody will feel bad about what happens to you. As with the purchase of a stock, creditors decided to run a financial risk by lending money through the cards, and they did out of pure kindness, but to make money with it. Consequently, while I have every intention to pay, should not have to feel guilty, that means abdicating all responsibility. Do not let anyone use their alleged culpability as a means of exerting pressure.
Second, contact your creditors and explain that you are planning to pay the debt. Ask them to work with you to facilitate payment and not be afraid to do: what they want is cash and most of the time will be more collaborative than you think. For example, could provide an exemption from a payment or two to help you recover, or could reduce interest rates. If you still have open accounts, your credit may offer suspended while canceling the balance in monthly intervals, or to provide debt cancellation for less than the total amount due if you pay a lump sum in a single payment.
Finally, start rebuilding your credit. And the first step to do is develop a budget that would be prevented in this situation again. But remember it’s not a good idea to eliminate the credit card of your life permanently, because they will help rebuild credit history if. Just do not repeat the same mistakes in the past and remember that just because you’re in a bad position now does not mean you always will be.
To the extent possible, open a small credit account and pay your bills in full and on time, and within just a few years, your credit can be as good as anyone. Moreover, remember that the procedure to seize the credit card has gained ground in Spain in recent years and is backed by a considerable number of judgments. Do not let any creditor copper on the balance you still has available! The sooner you start rebuilding your credit sooner be able to experience the security and peace of mind that the other 57 percent of the Spanish enjoy.
