What is Debt Settlement? Debt Settlement is when a lender or creditor forgives a portion of the balance you owe them, which can be up to 60% of the balance. This can be done either by paying the creditor in a lump sum or by making monthly payments to pay off the debt. In most cases, people choose to make monthly payments and then settle the debt once enough money has been accumulated. How Can I Get a Debt Settlement Plan There are two ways in which to settle your debt with creditors. First, you can do it yourself and you’re your creditors to negotiate a debt settlement. This is a more cost effective way to start a debt settlement program, but in many cases you will not get the best settlement as you don’t know the ins and outs of the laws and regulations that protect you. Second, you can hire a professional like Credit and Debt Management of America (www.cdmacredit.com) to settle your debts for you. The benefit of hiring a professional is they know the creditors, what they will settle for and how to push them to a settlement. Because creditors don’t have to offer debt settlement, it is always good to have an experienced company get you the best results. Historically, people who use a professional rather than themselves for debt settlement saved more money. What Are the benefits of a Debt Settlement Program The biggest benefit of a debt settlement program is that you eliminate a large portion of the balance you owe your creditors. Other benefits include avoiding bankruptcy and being able to repair your credit faster. What Are the Drawbacks to a Debt Settlement Program The biggest drawback to a debt settlement program is that it will have a negative impact on your credit. However, if you start rebuilding your credit as soon as possible, you can rebuild it and put this negative behind you. Another drawback is that the amount of debt your creditors forgive becomes taxable income for you. Are there any Alternatives to Debt Settlement? There are a few alternatives to debt settlement. You can continue to pay your monthly payments and pay off your debt in 10-20 years or you can file for bankruptcy and have issue with credit for the next 10 years. However, the best way to rebuild you credit and save on the money you owe may be Debt Settlement. |
