PowerPay Your Way Out of Debt


Hundreds of Dollars can be saved on interest in 
addition to paying off debts months or years earlier!



Debt Reduction Computer Program Getting out of debt is typically the best investment you can make.  It may produce double-digit returns by reducing the amount of interest paid and the time it takes to get out of debt.  The PowerPay© computer analysis can help you chart a course for debt free reduction.
How does the PowerPay© computer analysis program work?
  • This program requires commitment to stop borrowing and charging until current debts are paid off.
  • As soon as one debt is paid off, you apply the monthly payments from that debt to the next highest interest rate debt.
  • These payments are called power payments.  The total monthly payment is not increased--only the distribution of payments changes.
You can...
  • Look at savings in interest costs and months to repay on loans, credit cards, and other debt.
  • See impact of adding a little extra to the total monthly payments.
  • Calculate savings from making a lump sum payment at a specified future date.
How do I get started?   On-line:  Enter your information and compute the results yourself.
https://powerpay.org/ Do not include bills you regularly pay in full each month.  If you don't know the balance owed, contact your creditor.  The phone number and address is on the payment slip you return with your payment.  Many creditors also have toll-free numbers.
