Debt settlement is defined as
negotiating with a creditor to pay off a percentage of the total debt balance.
A reputable debt settlement company employs various debt settlement strategies
to get you the best settlements. Our debt settlement company is comprised of
licensed and trained debt arbitrators who will negotiate on your behalf with
your creditors and reduce your balances by 40-60%.
You may wonder, how debt settlement services work? In other
words, why would a creditor negotiate with a debt settlement company?
Creditors know that approximately 30% of the 1.6 million bankruptcies last
year occurred on debt that was current. Many people survive by borrowing from
one creditor to pay another. Eventually they run out of available credit lines
and find themselves unable to make payments. If a consumer filed
bankruptcy, the creditor receives nothing. Therefore, a creditor is better
suited negotiating with a debt settlement company. Debt settlement is the most
common of the debt settlement strategies. We only work with clients that have
legitimate financial hardships. These clients could certainly pursue
bankruptcy, if pushed too far. Debt settlement services know exactly what
to say to get you the best savings.
Our debt settlement program allows up to 36 months for the
debt to be settled, so we can afford to wait until the creditor makes the
sensible decision to agree to debt settlement. Our first debt settlement
strategy is to qualify you for the debt settlement program. This is when you
will be assigned a personal debt consultant. They custom tailor a debt
settlement program to meet your specific needs. We work with you to determine
a monthly amount that you can set aside for debt settlement purposes
Another one of our debt settlement strategies is contacting
all applicable creditors and inform them that our debt settlement company
represents you. One of our most important debt settlement services is to
minimize or eliminate harassing creditor calls. We direct all communication to
our office. First party creditors can still contact you legally, but most
comply with our wishes. Our debt settlement company also has other debt
settlement strategies to stop calls while you are in our debt settlement
program.
The objective of our debt settlement company is to finalize
debt settlement with creditors, attorneys, or collection agencies representing
your creditor. We will provide you with contracts legally authorizing our debt
settlement company to initiate the settlement process with your creditors.
While enrolled in our debt settlement program, you will make a single payment
each month into an account that you control. As funds accumulate in the
account, we negotiate with your creditors. Our debt settlement strategies
often enable you to escape debt at a fraction of the cost. Once a debt
settlement is reached, you pay the settlement to the creditor from your own
account. You will see all debt settlement offers for each creditor and a copy
of the settlement offer will be sent to you for your final approval. Once
completed you will send the agreed upon funds directly from your account to
the creditor. Once paid, your debt to the creditor is considered Settled in
Full. You will no longer owe the creditor anything and the account will be
closed.
