Review: ReadyForZero Helps Consumers Cut Debt Down To Nada
The average consumer carried $7,752 in credit card debt in July.
If the average Joe or Jane paid only the minimum payment of 3% on a credit card with an average interest rate of 14%, it would take 15 years and 11 months to get rid of that debt. Plus, they will also be paying $4,751.80 extra in interest.

ReadyForZero website just launched today and promises to guide consumers out of credit card debt with a realistic plan based on a consumer’s real debt and credit cards.
