Debt Settlement
Debt Settlement is the fastest and least expensive way to get out of debt. Often
referred to as Debt Negotiation, Debt Settlement is a direct and ambitious approach
to debt reduction and it is best suited for individuals that have considered filing
for Bankruptcy protection.
How it works:
Debt Settlement companies will negotiate with unsecured creditors (credit cards,
retail store cards, medical bills, judgments, personal loans, etc.) on behalf of
the client to settle for an amount much less than the balance owed. In return, the
debtor will make a settlement payment for the balance owed. Once the debt has been
paid in full on the settled amount, the creditor will issue a letter to the credit
bureaus stating the debt has been "Paid", "Settled", and/or
"Settled for less than full amount."
Why would a creditor accept a settlement?
Oftentimes creditors are willing to settle the balance of debt owed if the debtor
is under financial hardship. Debt Settlement is an excellent alternative to Bankruptcy
and in the creditor’s eyes if the debtor is under financial hardship and chooses
to file Bankruptcy the creditor would receive nothing. Debt Settlement professionals,
working on your behalf, take advantage of the leverage they have in this situation
and routinely eliminate 30-50% of the debtor’s unsecured debt. It’s
a win-win situation for both sides in the sense that the creditor is able to get
some payment towards the balance owed, and the debtor slashes his outstanding debt
and avoids the long and drawn out process of filing Bankruptcy.
