Some personal observations from representing former cardholders. Capital One sues its cardholders pretty vigorously. And once they do sue they are not very interested in giving them a break, in fact, one of their lawyers told me that at that point CapitalOne does not care if you stay a cardholder any longer. In other words, do not expect a break by promising to keep using their card and not missing any payments in the future. Another thing is that CapitalOne insists on settlements not lower than 80% of the total "amount sued for " or it will go to trial, get a judgment for the entire amount and do everything they can from garnishment to seizure of assets to get paid. Note that I used the term "amount sued for" and not "amount owed". This bullies and frightens people into foregoing some of their rights. In one case I had, Capital One sued for more money that it was owed by overstating the amount of interest and attorneys fees that were owed. The amount they sued for was higher than the amount that they later admited was owed. What would have happened if the case were settled for 80% of the amount sued for would have been a settlement for more than 100% of the actual amount owed. CapitalOne uses many law firms and if any firm does not bring in at least 80% of the amount of the accounts they send to the lawyers, CapitalOne will drop that lawfirm. If a lawfirm wants to keep CapOne's business, it is not giving anyone a break. So when CapitalOne asks "What's in your wallet?" It is not only the card but their grubby hands as well.

How do you know if a debt consolidation loan is a good idea?

Debt consolidation loans are good for people who are trying to keep track of lots of small bills like maxed out low limit credit cards, or for people with multiple student loans. By putting all the debt under one lump loan, it helps people who were falling behind get control of their debt. A debt consolidation loan is a good idea if after consolidation you have a lower total monthly payment at a lower interest. If one of your loans has a significantly higher interest rate than your other loans, you'll want to exclude it from your debt consolidation and focus on paying it off as quickly as possible. If your debt consolidation loan includes it, your rate will be higher and you will wind up paying more over time.

How can one avoid capital gains by paying off their mortgage?
