Weird ways to pay down your
Debt

pay down debt

1Have the credit card company pay your bill - This is not as crazy as it sounds. Call your credit card company up and ask them to forgive late payments and/or interest rates. Ask for the world and you might just get it.

2Sale everything - Okay maybe not the clothes off your back. I am sure a lot of us would rather not see that. Look around you, there are things you have not used in years that you can sell. Have a yard sale, sale on ebay, craigslist, amazon or overstock.

3Sell/Trade Ad Space - Sell ad space on you car. City buses and even police cars are selling ads on their cars. Why not get in on the action!!! Autowraps.com and freecarmedia.com pay as much as $400 per month for an ad on your car. If you qualify at freecarmedia.com, you can

be given a new car already wrapped in an ad to use for 2 years. You can also negotiate with your company to have its logo put on your car in exchange for gas money. That way you can save your money to pay down your bills.

If you live on a busy street, consider selling some yard space as long as the neighbors do not mind. You can call up window installing companies, security companies, and others and ask if they would like to put their sign in your yard for a fee. I actually use this method to negotiate down prices when I get work done on the house.

4Bake Cookies - Before you laugh this suggestion away,just note that there are many laughing all the way to the bank implementing this idea. Ask Billy Baldwin founder of New York City-based mail order cookie company Cookie
