What is credit card debt settlement?

Credit card debt settlement is a program that will work with the cards you owe money to repay your owed balances as rapidly as possible by offering them a chunk of money up front in exchange for paying off your account completely.

If structured correctly, a reputable credit card debt settlement company will usually help you to close and pay off your account at 40-60% (or less) than what is owed.

Do You Qualify?

If you can easily pay your bills, you should always do that as a first priority. This is not a way to get out of paying for what you owe if you have other choices.

However, if you've reached a scenario where your monthly obligations are getting to be too much, or where you are rapidly draining your savings while making payments- then credit card debt settlement is a good consideration for you.

The starting point in making your decision is to be as informed as you are able about your different options, and then evaluate these and see how they will affect your personal situation.

Each financial situation is unique and a credit card debt settlement program is not the right choice for everyone.

As with every choice, there are “Pros” and “Cons” to using a credit card debt settlement program to pay your bills.

Utimately, it is up to you to become educated and determine which options will benefit you the most and ware in your best interest.

Listed below are a few of the major advantages (Pros) and disadvantages (Cons) to consider when considering credit card debt settlement as a viable option:

Disadvantages:

If you have a strong FICO score, then your rating will definitely go down.

Credit card debt settlement will not stop collection calls the way that a Bankruptcy will.

Advantages:

If your FICO score is already beat up, it will go down as dramatically because the rating is already low.

You can drop your monthly payments immediately and begin saving more cash for your emergencies or other needs. Often your payments will be cut by half or more.

In many situations you will be totally paid off with your creditors ranging from 18-48 months.

If your credit card debt settlement program is professionally structured, you may have immediate access to the funds you've deposited into the payment structure (less fees) if you need them for an emergency or other needs.

Most credit card debt settlement programs have no costs up front. The fees for the attorneys & negotiators are wrapped into the already lower payments you'll be making. This way it doesn't cut into your existing savings.

Credit card debt settlement enrollment usually is less than the $1,500-$7,000 cost of filing bankruptcy.

Available Programs:

Each credit card debt settlement program is unique, so working with a professional to become educated and structure a plan that meets your needs is very important.

Also, if at all possible, talk with an independent councilor or advisor who has researched different companies and can steer you in the direction of a reputable company with solid programs and a good track record.

Credit card debt settlement isn't the answer for some people, but will significantly aid many who are allowing minimum payments to lower their monthly cash flow and causing undue stress.
