Those few miles also insulate Jersey residents from the congestion, noise, and crime found in busy Manhattan.

Credit freedom. It’s a phrase that, for most, evokes positive feelings. All too many Americans have, at times, felt crushed under the velvet-gloved fist of credit card rates, fees and late charges. However, aren’t credit cards a necessity these days? Some services, like hotel stays and rental cars, require credit cards, since they want protection if the consumer damages their asset. If you don’t want or can’t acquire a traditional credit card, you may want to consider procuring a prepaid credit card instead. Here are a couple facts about prepaid credit cards.

Usability

Referring to prepaid credit cards as “credit cards” is a bit of a misnomer; just because they are rectangular pieces of plastic doesn’t mean there is any credit involved. Instead, these cards are just repositories for the money you already have, and they provide a convenient way to use that money. With that in mind, it makes sense that these cards don’t report to the major -or any – credit agencies. They offer the advantage of being able to use a card at places like hotels that require a card with a certain amount of buying power available.

No Credit Check Required

If your credit is less than average (or even less than stellar) these days, you may not qualify for a traditional credit card. This can complicate life, since certain businesses do not accept cash. You can, however, use a prepaid credit card virtually wherever you’d use a traditional credit card, and prepaid cards do not require a credit check since there is no credit being given – you’re just spending the money you deposit onto the card. Therefore, they can reduce some of the inconvenience of not having a normal credit card.

Many people who watch daytime TV or click on pop-up ads online probably have the same, negative view of debt consolidation. But what does it actually mean? Also, why is it looked upon so negatively?

The first thing to realize is that debt consolidation is NOT bankruptcy. Filing for bankruptcy ruins credit scores and should be a last ditch effort only. The problem is that since so many companies deal in both debt consolidation and bankruptcy filings, the general public has combined these two very separate acts into one unpleasant word.

Debt consolidation is a service that actually aims to keep those using it out of bankruptcy court. By consolidating your debt, you are agreeing to let a third party reorganize your bills, get all of your debt collected into one, unified place, and then pay off the third party instead of paying off the individual companies. This practice is not only easier and more affordable, in many cases it is also the most logical choice. By consolidating your debt, you make a huge first step towards eliminating all debts.

Finally, debt consolidation isn’t something that follows you around forever. Unlike bankruptcy, debt consolidation is a one-time service. Once that service is paid off, there is no damaging record of it that could prevent you from owning a home or getting a loan in the future. Many people already consolidate their debt individually, by transferring balances from credit card to credit card. When that isn’t enough, debt consolidators can step in and help.

Although a negative stigma surrounds debt consolidation, it is certainly not a bad thing. For most people in that situation, the options are either see a debt consolidator or file for bankruptcy. When faced with those options, debt consolidation is the more attractive, more intelligent choice.
