when you refi you pay fees which would be like 5-6k but with a low fico score like that you may have to pay more. If you can consolidate and you're in a financial bind , DO IT! then dont use your credit cards if you're not really good with payments etc. Just realize that if you cant pay your new payment your house can foreclose. be careful...sounds like youre maxxing yourself out in all areas. refi'g if you have a personality of spending what you have available might get you further in debt....you'll have open credit to charge.

Check on what you can get for interest today vs. what you are paying.
I believe there was a law that made PMI tax-deductible starting for 2006. However, only suckers pay PMI to start with. The way to avoid PMI is by getting a mortgage for 80% and then a 2nd mortgage (at a higher intrest rate) for the rest. If you have extra money, you pay down the 2nd mortgage 1st.

If you know you can make the payments once you refinance, it's a good idea to refinance. If you're not sure, you're also putting your house at risk..in addition to everything else that your creditors can rightfully go after.

Refi Bad, ReFi MORE debt - bad, bad , bad !

Get rid of the truck for a cheap one and put all the bucks into getting 20% equity so you can get rid of the pmi . . .
Also take a second job and put it all into getting that 20% equity and rid of PMI .
You will still have pmi with the refi won't you ? because you will have an all debt loan !
No real equity ! = PMI still !

More bad debt is NOT a solution to your too much debt now . . . you are just digging a deeper hole for your bankruptcy coffin !

Yeah actually it depends on how much the intreset rate is on the loan, in basic terms its just like a credit card, you get a credit card with like 25% intreset rate, you'll be paying it off for as long as u live, constantly in debt...same thing with a loan babe. But it sounds like your jus trying to stay afloat, and this does put all your bills in to one reasonable fee and you can take some money out to keep saved up for a rainy day, but keep in mind you dont get paid all your life off a loan so dont get dependent on it if you dicide to take your loan officer up on it. And also dont forget that you do still have to pay for utility bills. But i personally think you should take the loan, even if it is buy the skin of your teeth that your getting by, i think you can tottaly handle it :)...BUT PLEASE LOOK AT THE INTRESET RATE FIRST!!!

I did my analyze on financing and desperate to do a HELOC approximately 6 months in the past.
