France welcoming leaders for a summit devoted to finance and relieving the debt owed by a continent that felt the full brunt of a world economy under lockdown. The age-old question more acute than ever: how to be like the US and Europe and earmark huge sums for health care, schools, green energy and infrastructure… instead of using the money to pay interest on old debts?

Hello and welcome to FundooMoney, your 24X7 buddy for all your money matters. We have all heard about the word “debt trap”. But what exactly is it? Well, debt trap is situation where you have taken so much debt or loans that you find yourself unable to even service the monthly interest. You actually need a loan to pay the interest and hence end up increasing your debt. This is a vicious cycle created in the first place due to excessive and high interest rate borrowing. You need to create and work on a plan diligently to get away from this financial mess. Shortly, we tell you the essential steps that you need to take in such a plan.

Pay off high cost debt at the earliest
Prioritise all your debts based on interest rates. Get rid of highest cost debt such as those of credit card outstanding that typically charge 40% annually. If the outstanding amount is too large, take a personal loan or do a balance transfer on EMI on other credit card. This could bring the interest rate to a more manageable level of around 12-15%.

Consolidate medium cost debt
If you have many small value loans like consumer loans, personal loan or credit card dues, it would be better for you to bring all these loans at one place by taking a personal loan or debt consolidation loan at a low interest rate. You can interact with your lending institution for this.

Look for low cost alternative
If you have high interest rate loan like a personal loan, you could take a lower cost loan, typically loans against assets such as gold, car or property to pay off the high cost debt.

Try extending the tenure
If you are likely to find it difficult even to pay off low cost EMIs, consider extending the tenure of the loan to manage the repayment obligation. Secured loans should typically allow you to have a long tenure. This will keep the EMI under check. Once your income rises or you get any windfall gains, you can utilise that amount for faster repayment of your loan.

Liquidate investments if the need be
If all of the above steps are not enough, consider liquidating some investments such as idle gold or property. Try to view this move without emotion. Consider the loan repayment burden a cost of retaining these investments with you. Once outstanding loans are repaid, you could use the money to invest for your future.

One of the biggest mistakes consumers make is to buy a car on residual, warns National Debt Mediation Association CEO Magauta Mphahlele. Read full story: http://www.fin24.com/Debt/Multimedia/The-most-expensive-way-to-buy-a-car-20140609

This is the inside story of private equity dealmaking.

Over the last 40 years, LBO fund managers have demonstrated that they are good at making money for themselves and their investors. But when one looks beneath the surface of the transactions they engineer, it is apparent that these deals can, at times, go spectacularly wrong.

Through 14 business stories, all emanating from the noughties’ credit bubble and including headline-grabbing names like Caesars, Debenhams, EMI, Hertz, Seat Pagine Gialle and TXU, The Debt Trap shows how, via controversial practices like quick flips, repeat dividend recaps, heavy cost-cutting and asset-stripping, leveraged buyouts changed, for better or for worse, the way private companies are financed and managed today.

From technological disruption in the worlds of music recording and business-directory publishing to economic turbulence in the gambling, real estate and energy sectors, highly levered corporations are often incapable of handling market corrections when debt commitments start piling up. Behind the historical events and the financial empires erected by some of the elite private equity specialists, these 14 in-depth case studies examine how value-maximising techniques and a short-cut mentality can impact investment returns and portfolio assets.

Whether you are a PE practitioner, investor, business manager, academic or business student, you will find The Debt Trap to be an authoritative and fascinating account.
