According to U.S. Government reports ecommerce continues to improve dramatically, “Total e-commerce sales for 2006 were estimated at $108.7 billion, an increase of 23.5 percent (±3.3%) from 2005.”This is not surprising when you consider that 60% of all new small businesses have an online presence. This is further enhanced when you take into account the meteoric rise of online users. In 2001 there were approximately 142 million online users. By 2006 there were approximately 211 million online users (many of whom enjoy not fighting traffic to find the products they want).Online spending increased among all user groups from 2001-2005.

Question 5 Do you find you are constantly borrowing from Peter to pay Paul?
Question 6 Do you find that you can only afford to pay the minimum monthly payments of all your bills?
Question 7 Are your creditors constantly pressing you for payment, threatening to sue?

If you answered yes to any of these questions you are likely in a position where you need to take action before things get worse. This is where most people stumble, there are a lot of good resources that tell you what to do when you have lots of money, but it is often difficult to find resources that help when you owe lots of money. This is the purpose of this article. We have tried to provide a resource that you can reference to determine the major options available when dealing with debt.
Options Available When Dealing with Debt
Consider the following options when looking for a solution to your financial problems:
1. Contact your creditors
The First you should do is contact your creditors directly. Often these creditors will agree to temporary measures that will allow you to get back on track. When you contact your creditors it is best to explain why you can't make the payments in question, provide a suggestion that details what the creditor could do that would enable you to get a handle on things and be prepared to demonstrate how this temporary measures will help you to return to a position where you are in good standing with the lender. Often, if you do this correctly and make disclosure of all pertinent areas of your financial life you may be surprised but many creditors are willing to accept such arrangements.
2. Credit counseling
Credit Counseling is another service that has proved to be helpful. In Alberta there are two main credit counseling groups and both provide a variety of services that may be able to help to rectify the existing difficulties. They hold regular workshops that cover budgeting, debt management, credit and many other topics that are often of interest. With their help you may be able to rearrange your current situation in a manner that will allow you to deal with the debt in question.
3. Consolidation loan
A consolidation loan is a common solution that is provided by most financial institutions. Often these institutions will give you a loan that you can use to pay “consolidate” your other debts into one loan. Typically this “consolidation loan” will be at much lower interest rate, result in monthly lower payments and often allow you to pay off the total debt in a shorter time. However, you must make sure to stop buying on credit. If you continue to use credit after consolidating you will end up in a much worse position than you are right now.
4. Orderly Payment of Debt
In Alberta (as well a a few other provinces) there is a program called Orderly Payment of Debt (OPD). OPD is a program that is much like a consolidation loan, but is done through the courts. Essentially the court makes an order to freeze your debts where they sit and you make a monthly payment to pay the debts in full plus a 5% interest rate. In Alberta, this program is administered through Credit Counselling Services of Alberta and if you couple it with many of their budgeting and credit workshops you may find that you can reduce your monthly payment enough to allow you to manage your finances more effectively.

Statistics used in online sales letter are often abused and misunderstood in many ways. Both from the consumers' standpoint and, either purposefully or unknowingly, by product and service providers of all types.Have you heard the oldest marketing slogan on the web?"98% of online businesses fail to see success."Since the first time I saw that figure I wondered what organization was responsible for concocting this seemingly scientific "fact."After starting several businesses and writing articles and books on the art of internet marketing success over 6 years, it is obvious to me that no one has a good grasp of how many people try and then fail to make a business take off on the internet.First and most importantly, what was the criteria the unkn

Business intelligence infrastructures reduce the time needed to analyse situations and take actionable decisions. In a competitive environment, a Business may apply two alternative strategies, in order to build advantage:Attempting to prevail by applying a long term brute-force approach, expressed either through production-capacity building or through financial superiority. Attempting to move with speed and flexibility, in order to occupy competitive market positions and exploit opportunities which appear in the market, even if these positions may not build a sustainable long–term competitive advantage. The brute-force approach often causes major damages, entails a high cost (e.g. in case of ‘price wars’) and bears a high risk since i

6. Personal bankruptcy
Personal bankruptcy is the most severe of the options and should only be considered if you simply cannot afford any of the other alternatives. The premise behind bankruptcy legislation is that it permits an honest but unfortunate debtor with a mechanism to eliminate their debts. This doesn't mean that simply filing a bankruptcy will completely erase any debt with no effort on your part. There are a number of duties and obligations that you must fulfill and once you have done so you will find that the majority of your unsecured debt will be cleared.
We suggest that when you are dealing with outstanding debt you are best to begin at the top of the list and work your way down. Focus on your existing cash flow each month to determine whether or not the alternative in question will work for you and work you way down the list until you find an alternative that you can afford. We find that typically timing is the key and the longer you wait the further down the list of alternatives you will have to go. As a rule, it is always better to catch things early so that you can prevent your situation from deteriorating further and resulting in greater difficulties.
