Hopelessly in debt? Need a systematic way to rid yourself of it? The Debt Analyzer is the answer! Now the techniques used by banks and credit counselors can be used in the comfort of your own home. You can produce debt elimination and loan consolidation schedules which can illustrate hundreds of dollars in potential savings. How does debt elimination work? Each of your debts is given a priority. Each month, your payments are made to each debt. Once one debt is paid off, then that payment is then applied to the highest priority debt. This accelerates the payment on the highest priority debt. The loan acceleration is what produces the interest savings. Several options are available which can help accelerate and optimize your debt elimination schedule. These include "using minimum payments", applying "extra payments" and selecting one of nine predefined "priority methods".
The loan consolidation schedule is designed to take all your current debt information and combine it into a single new loan. How does it work? Loan consolidation assumes that the new loan has an overall lower interest rate than your existing debts. This results in lower overall payments and less interest paid. The Debt Analyzer allows you to create loan consolidation schedules and will determine the amount of money you can save by doing so. A variety of options are available to tailor the loan consolidation to your specific needs. These include the ability to specify the term or payment of the consolidated loan or the sum of all debt payments may be used as the consolidated loan payment.
