I've heard that when you borrow a home equity loan, the payment amounts don't go towards the pricipal, but just towards the interest? Is that true? I wouldn't want to get a loan like that if I'm just paying for the interest

thank you for taking the time to answer this. siiiiiiiiigh. it isn't really helping that they are continuously making calls at my cellphone. i wish i could just throw the darned thing away to be honest. it doesn't help when you have $35k in credit card debt and you don't know what to do
