My back was against a hard, unmoving wall.
In the end, my life was saved, but my business, which was supposed to pay the bills, did not survive.
My only remaining asset was my car, on which I owed $26,745.47 ~ it was only worth about $10,000 in actual cash value.
I was trying desperately to pay a $654 car payment with no income.
That payment was more than I could handle and I was in danger of losing my car.
I couldn’t face the challenges ahead without a car so I knew I had to find a solution.
I knew that when I got a principal balance reduction on my loan, everything else would fall into place.
So, I called my credit union, and asked for the name of the head of the Loss Mitigation Department.
Using a few simple techniques I'd learned thorough-out my life, I got that principal balance reduced to $10,745.47 ~ an astonishing savings of $16,000!
That is a principal balance reduction of just over
59.82%.
My car payments dropped from $654 to a very manageable $182.
That was an amazing savings of $472 every month!
