I have been on Long Term Disability and now SS Disability for 3 years. We have tremendous debt from too much travel and college educations. I need to know if it is better to pay off the debt by refinancing our home. some of the CC interest rates are lower than our mortgage. We have excellent credit and I have paid down a very large cc debt from $54,000 to 17,000 in the last 3 years. However we still have several other cc’s with debt. We plan to purchase my husband’s home when they move into a retirement home in the next 2 years. Is it better to keep paying down the cc debt that is unsecured or would it be better to refinance keeping it at the same term of 10 years left and pay the larger payments on this secured debt. I believe that is probably the answer, but obviously my debt worries me constantly.

Hello Scott, I have 48k in unsecured debt and cannot continue to keep up with the payments. My spouse is a real estate agent and has not closed a deal in 6 months. We had planned on making a move in 2 years. Is is possible to use a debt negotiator and payoff what is settled in 6 months (if i can afford it)? Will any mortgage lender lend us money to purchase a home within 18 to 24 months once we have completed a program? Thanks! Ken
