There are ways to escape the debt trap if you've already done so, but you should exercise greater caution when dealing with creditors that make unreliable assessments of your capacity to repay loans.
Start your journey to better financial health by implementing a couple of these suggestions right away…
1. Create a new budget: reduce spending and make a new budget that excludes any indulgences, such as eating out, shopping for new clothes, technology, and entertainment, in order to hasten the repayment of your debt.
2. Avoid adding to your debt: stop taking out loans and using credit for purchases.
3. Sell all the items you don't need: take an inventory of your possessions and sell the stuff you don't really need to fast raise some cash. Use the money to settle your debts in full.
