A Payment Plan You Can Keep

Take Control of Credit Card Debt with Payoff Spreadsheets and Creditor Conversation Tools

By Evan Calder and Daniel H. Mercer

Compare payoff paths and offers, then prepare and record a creditor conversation.

Turn scattered balances, offers, and creditor conversations into a plan you can inspect and revise.

For the reader who is paying several cards, deciding between payoff methods, considering a transfer or consolidation offer, or preparing to ask a creditor what is actually possible.

Decisions this project is designed to support

See the whole obligation

Inventory balances, rates, minimums, due dates, promotional periods, and important unknowns before comparing a strategy.

Compare on the same facts

Test avalanche and snowball paths with one set of verified inputs, then examine the tradeoff rather than treating one method as morally correct.

Read the complete offer

Keep fees, uncovered balances, post-promotional rates, timing, and missing terms visible when an offer looks attractive.

Prepare and record the conversation

Know what to ask, separate a possibility from a promise, and write down the terms and next action after the call.

What this work cannot decide
