Before you get started, it helps to have gathered the most recent statement for each of the debts* - such as credit cards, car and boat loans, and home equity loans - you want to include in your payment plan.

Before we begin, take a moment to find the following items on your statements:
• Interest rate
• Current balance
• Minimum monthly payment
How many debts do you want to include in your plan?    
  (Maximum: 9)
 
* You can also include mortgage and student loans, but you may not want to. These types of loans are usually not considered debt that is important to pay off quickly.
