A Georgia bankruptcy lawyer from Legal Helpers may be a safer option than others. Every year millions of Americans enter into a variety of bankruptcy and debt consolidation programs. As the popularity of debt consolidation has increased, so has the number of dangerous pitfalls hidden in these programs.

The major pitfall of all second mortgages, home equity loans and home-improvement loans is that the creditor requires borrowers to pledge their home as collateral for the loan. The creditor acquires a lien on the property and if the borrower can't afford to make their monthly loan payments, the creditor can take the home through foreclosure, even if the borrowers are current with their first mortgage payments. Home equity loans are often used as quick fixes, but they can result in long-term payments for people that are beyond their means.

While these loans are attractive since they usually offer low interest rates and lower monthly payments, the total amount of payments often adds up to be much greater than the original amount of debt. The total amount of interest over such a long period of time such as 15-30 years, can be huge. With the frequently changing economy and unstable job market, home equity loans can quickly turn disastrous for many people.

The pitfalls of balance transfers are found in the small print. The low interest rates used to lure people into transferring their balance last for only a limited amount of time; then the interest rate rises dramatically, sometimes to a higher rate than that of the original card.
