Debt Settlement FAQ’s - Common questions about debt settlement

What is debt settlement?
Debt settlement is a method of debt resolution that can completely eliminate your debt in 12 to 36 months. During our debt settlement program, you will pay one low monthly payment that will go towards your settlement, while your personal debt settlement coach communicates with your creditors. When the negotiations are finalized, you will have paid off your debt completely, for pennies on the dollar. Debt settlement is a successful way to eliminate debt because creditors are willing to cut their losses and get paid as much as they can. Lending institutions know that if a debtor files for bankruptcy, they will be unable to acquire any of the money that they’re owed.

How long does debt settlement take?
The length of a debt settlement program depends a lot on the willingness of creditors to cooperate in the process. It also depends on the number of loans that you have to settle. However, most of our debt settlement programs have a duration of 12 to 36 months, and that is certainly a faster way to get out of debt than maintaining minimum payments for years and years.

How do I know whether or not a debt settlement company is reputable?
Because there are very few federal and state laws mandating the debt management industry it is imperative that you verify a company’s legitimacy before trusting them with your financial affairs. Look for memberships to the Chamber of Commerce or the Better Business Bureau. If the company is a member of the International Association of Professional Debt Arbitrators (IAPDA) you can be certain that they are legit, as they must comply with the IAPDA’s stringent code of ethics in order to obtain and maintain membership.

I am struggling with my mortgage payments. Am I eligible for debt settlement?
Credit Card Debt settlement can only completely eliminate unsecured debts. This is because unsecured debts, such as credit card debts, have no collateral, and thus offer no guarantee to the lender that they will be repaid. A mortgage, on the other hand, is considered a secured loan. If you are unable to make the payments on your mortgage, the lender has the right to foreclose on your house.

Why should I use a debt settlement company?
It is possible to settle your debt without the help of a debt settlement company, but it is an extremely difficult thing to do and most debtors who ‘go-it-alone’ aren’t successful. It is best to use a debt settlement company, because debt settlement experts have the experience and knowledge to successfully negotiate with creditors. Many of our specialists are already familiar with your creditors. It is hard for most debtors to find the time to contact their creditors, and they usually encounter difficulty in locating a person of authority. Your emotional involvement in the debt further complicates the process. By using our debt settlement program, you can be assured that the process will be successful and stress free.

What are the disadvantages of a debt settlement program?
There are a few minor disadvantages to debt settlement. After debt settlement, you may have an unfavorable credit score. Most people, however, don’t get hung up on this detail because their credit score was poor before debt settlement to begin with. Debt settlement isn’t as fast as bankruptcy and it can only help you with unsecured loans.

Despite a few disadvantages, debt settlement remains a great option for debt resolution. If you have more questions about debt settlement, please fill out our no obligation debt settlement form. One of our debt settlement representatives will contact you and answer any questions you may have.
