STOP right there. It doesn’t make sense to borrow on your home equity until you have a plan to pay down debt. If you can’t pay down your current debt, digging another deep hole won’t help. It will just put your house at risk!

I suggest you contact the National Foundation for Credit Counseling at 800-388-2227. That will connect you tothe nearest local member agency. You can trust them. They will help you work out a play –without touching your home equity.
