Can Debt Settlement Help Me?

Apr 19, 2021

It probably comes as no surprise that millions of people have experienced financial hardship since COVID began over a year ago.  When people lose their jobs or get ill, bills begin to pile up.  Eventually, bills go unpaid, debts get out of hand, and bill collectors begin to call.   If this is happening to you, don’t despair, there is light at the end of the tunnel. 

Debt settlement is a way out of the stressful situation many are experiencing during these pandemic times.   It can be a good way to stop the bill collectors harassing phone calls and ensure some sort of stability for you and your family.

1. Why Would I Need Debt Settlement?

Sometimes people are in situations where they owe more money than they are able to pay for medical bills, credit card debt, or other debts.  When people are forced to miss debt payments because they lost their job or got sick, then late fees and interest adds more and more debt to the initial amount owed.  Eventually, it becomes a cycle that you can’t see any feasible way out of.  You don’t have enough money to make the payment, so the company adds a late fee and extra interest to your next payment.  Thereby making the next payment exponentially larger.  Then bill collectors begin to call, and your stress levels rise.  

Life right now is hard enough for people without adding this additional stress.  If you find yourself in this situation, contact debt relief attorneys in Stuart to discuss whether or not debt settlement can help you.

Debt settlement is a good option when people find themselves unable to pay bills.  It is a good choice for people who want to avoid filing for bankruptcy, need relief from substantial debt, or who want to get their debts paid off quickly. 

2. What is Debt Settlement?

Usually, debt settlement allows you to pay off your debt in a lump sum for less than the total amount you owe.  Debt relief attorneys in Stuart will negotiate with your creditors until they reach an agreement that helps you find relief from your stressful financial situation.  You will pay a percentage of what you owe the creditor in a lump sum.  This way you can pay your debts off much more quickly for an amount that works for you.  Any monies owed beyond the agreed upon total debt payments are forgiven.

Finding debt settlement resolutions that work for you requires thinking outside of the box and sometimes takes some creative brain storming.  No two situations are alike, and we always strive to find ways to negotiate with creditors that will fit your needs.  An experienced attorney can always do that, find ways to make it work.  Contact experienced debt relief attorneys in Stuart for help.

3. Whey are Creditors Willing to Agree to Debt Settlement?

Creditors are in the business of making money.  They want to collect as much money as possible.  They are aware that people who can’t pay their debts may turn to bankruptcy for relief from their unwelcome financial situation. Creditors would much rather collect some money from people than collect nothing

 

Much of the time, in Chapter 7 bankruptcy , unsecured creditors won’t be able to collect any money for debts you owe to them.  It is a sound financial decision on their part to recoup some money instead of having it all forgiven in bankruptcy.  If you are wondering if debt settlement is right for you, then contact debt relief attorneys in Stuart to discuss all of your options.
