CC Debt Confusion

November 8th, 2006 at 09:23 pm

Here's the problem:

Originally, it was estimated I would pay about $7,200 total to settle all 3 CC's. Well, according to my payment log, I have a remaining balance to pay of $2,089.02 But I still have about $3,666.04 in prescheduled payments, plus one CC that hasn't settled yet that is about $3,000.

This would put my remaining CC debt at $6,666.04 (ooooh, all the 6s...creepy!).

I've already paid about $4,412.00 since August on them. So this together would put my original total CC debt at about $10,000.

I'm so confused.
I think it may be time to break it all down into individual CC's:

CC Debt Tally:
$4,434.06 CC1 (BoA)
$2,817.12 CC2 (WaMu)
$3,000 CC3 (Chase)
$1,987.20 Fee owed to Debt Settlers
---------------
$12,238.38 total CC debt to repay

CC Debt Already Paid:
-$1,478.02 CC1 BoA
-$2,112.24 CC2 WaMu
-$705 fee to Debt Settlers
----------------
$4,295.26 already paid
$7,943.12 remaining CC Debt to Pay

Other Debt Tally:
$9,054.08 to Mom
$1,335.40 LB CC
$588.58 Medical CC
---------------
Total: $10,978.06
+ CC debt: $7,943.12
---------------
TOTAL DEBT: $18,921.18

Now, originally, I had $13,248.36 in CC Debt and $1,348.10 on a LB CC and I originally owed Mums $5,500.00. This all totals $20,096.46 in debt.

Original Debt: $20,096.46
Payments Total: $1,175.28
Savings Debt Settlement: $1,010.12
New Debt Total: $17,911.06

I really think I'm getting screwed here. Ugh, what a headache I have.

OK, here's what I know to be true:
I currently owe Mom $9,054.08
I currently owe LBCC $1,335.40
I currently owe Med CC $588.58
I currently owe CC3 (Chace) $3,000
I currently owe CC2 (WaMu) $704.08
I currently owe CC1 (BoA) $2,956.04
I currently owe Debt Co $1,282.20
---------------------------------
I currently owe $18,920.38

I am trying to get the fee I owe the Debt Co down, sicne that was estimated on 36 months of service, and I will be using their service for 12 months, max. I will also be making my last payment of $704.08 to CC 2(WaMu) on Nov 30th, as well as prescheduled payments to C1 (BoA) on Nov 30th and December 31st, which will erase the remaining debt on there. Additionally, I have more $ to pay to the LB CC and the Med CC. So, with luck, I am hoping to start 2007 with a total debt of $14,560.26 (Down a total of $4,360.12 in 2 months).

Yikes, now I have a really big headache. *sigh* But at least the numbers are worked out and I know how much debt I truly have. Frown

    It's hard to see all those numbers, isn't it? I just figured out how many files I have on credit cards. I can't wait til those numbers are gone and the files empty! It is going to take awhile. When I look at the spreadsheets, I have to go "breathe, jan, breathe....

    That's what it's all about for us here! Support, encouragment, and watching these figures shrink! Smile

    yes, that's quite perplexing. from what i'm seeing, you have certainly made significant payment (almost 30%) toward the debt load. but the balance on CC's is decreasing slowly, perhaps due to the interest rate.

    keep up the good work!

    Seems like you are making progess...I have not looked at my exact number but I estimate that at the beginning of the year I had close to 10,000 in cc and I am down to about $800. So keep paying on them and you will definately see the difference
