Debt Settlement

If Bankruptcy doesn’t fit your financial goals, you still have other options to eliminate your debts. Debt settlement could be a way to solve your debt problem without Bankruptcy.

What is the difference between Debt Settlement and Debt Consolidation? Debt settlement occurs if a creditor agrees to accept less than the total balance to consider a debt “paid in full.” In theory, Debt consolidation combines your debts into a single payment every month. However, consolidation usually involves getting a loan to settle these debts at a discount.

But this is the catch – companies that offer “debt consolidation” aren’t Loan companies. Your state government licenses Loan companies, and this business is highly regulated. However, debt consolidation companies do not want the government to look at them too closely. So instead, they offer debt settlement which they disguise as debt consolidation. This sleight of hand has several devious purposes – to make them more money, to hide from being responsible to their customers, and to make repaying your debts impossible. You are led to believe your monthly payments go to pay your bills. But instead, your payments pay the “debt consolidation company’s” fees. Debt consolidation companies don’t begin negotiations to repay your debts until you fully pay their fees. They only put your payments aside to save enough for a settlement. As a result, people often make payments for years, but nothing is paid to their creditors. So, your credit report shows that you have defaulted on your debts, so your credit score tanks. While this is happening, these debt consolidation companies are doing nothing to earn their fees, which are often many times higher than the fees a licensed attorney would charge.

How Can Debt Settlement work?

Debt settlement works because collecting is difficult and expensive if someone doesn’t voluntarily pay. As a result, a skilled negotiator can negotiate terms to eliminate debts at a discount. Depending on the circumstances, your savings might be modest or substantial. Debt settlement is a good option for someone who can pay part of their debts but struggles to get on top of all of them. In addition, debt settlement offers the advantage of letting you overcome debt struggles without having to disclose your financial circumstances publicly.

Each method of debt relief has advantages and disadvantages. So at A Fresh Start, we recommend you keep an open mind and consult a debt settlement lawyer who thoroughly understands bankruptcy law. At A Fresh Start Law, Attorney Dorothy Bunce can answer your questions so that you understand your options before you make this decision.

Can All Debts Be Taken Care Of With Debt Settlement?

No, Debt Settlement only works if a creditor agrees to settle. No one, not even a Judge, can force a creditor into settling. So, of course, debt settlement involves some risk. At Vegas Debt Solutions, our debt settlement attorney, Dorothy Bunce, in Las Vegas, NV, believes you should understand your risks and limit them whenever possible. But we know the most common creditors and debt collectors and have worked with them in the past. And we have a modest retainer fee. We don’t earn our fee until we obtain the results you want. Also, we don’t require you to give us your settlement funds until we have a settlement agreement. Although some clients ask us to do this, it isn’t required.
