It is easy to turn a blind eye and ignore debts as they mount and
pile up. It’s a common occurrence, and while it is easy to ignore those
debts for a while, eventually they will need to be resolved. Here are
four
debt relief solutions that can help you put your debt unrest to ease once and for all.
Debt Settlement - This is an ideal solution for unsecured
debts such as
credit cards and medical bills. Via this approach, a debt
arbitrator will negotiate with your creditors to reduce the total amount
of money that you owe. This has the advantage of not only lowering your
payments, but it can also shorten the duration of your payment term to
between 12 and 36 months.
Debt Consolidation - Making multiple payments each month is
full of pitfalls. For one, your interest rates and payment dates can
vary widely; this can lead to missed payments and fee accumulation.
Debt consolidation takes all of your debts and combines them together at a
lower, fixed rate that won’t change. Further, since your debts are
combined, you only need to make one payment each month.
Credit Counseling - Interest rates can eat up a significant
portion of your monthly payments.
Credit counseling can lower your
interest rates, but it won’t reduce the total amount of money you owe.
One drawback of selecting credit counseling is that any assistance you
receive from a credit counseling company will show up on your
credit report and lower your credit score. Thus, it is an option that you
should weigh very carefully before deciding upon.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy – This is a last resort option that we
strongly caution our clients against. It has significant credit
consequences and should only be chosen when the sum of money owed on
credit cards and other unsecured debts is simply too much to ever be
paid back. Declaring Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is a choice that should only
be exercised when all other options and solutions have been thoroughly
explored and exhausted.
