Debt Relief  That Make Sense

When debt becomes overwhelming, making minimum payments every month can feel like you're running in place. Interest continues to grow, balances barely decrease, and financial stress can affect every aspect of your life.

Debt settlement offers a practical path toward becoming debt-free by allowing qualified individuals to reduce the total amount they owe on eligible unsecured debts, such as credit cards, personal loans, and certain medical bills.

Why Choose Debt Settlement?
 

Become Debt-Free Faster

Making minimum monthly payments can keep you in debt for decades. Debt settlement programs are designed to help you resolve your debt within a structured timeframe, helping you regain financial freedom sooner.

Lower Monthly Payments

Many clients enter a debt settlement program because their current payments have become unaffordable. A customized program can consolidate your monthly savings into one manageable deposit, making it easier to stay on track toward your financial goals.

Reduce Financial Stress

Constant collection calls, growing balances, and financial uncertainty can take a toll on your well-being. Debt settlement provides a clear plan and professional support, giving you confidence that you're moving toward a solution.

Professional Negotiation on Your Behalf

Negotiating with creditors can be challenging and time-consuming. Experienced debt negotiators work directly with your creditors to pursue the best possible settlement opportunities, allowing you to focus on rebuilding your financial future.

Avoid Bankruptcy When Possible

For many consumers, debt settlement can be a viable alternative to bankruptcy. While every financial situation is unique, debt settlement may allow you to resolve your debts without the long-term legal and financial consequences associated with filing for bankruptcy.

No two financial situations are the same. We take the time to understand your goals, review your debts, and develop a customized strategy designed around your specific needs—not a one-size-fits-all program.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about debt relief and how we can help.

What is debt settlement?

Debt settlement is a debt relief strategy in which creditors may agree to accept less than the full amount owed as payment in full on eligible unsecured debts.

What types of debt can be settled?

Debt settlement generally applies to unsecured debts, including:

  • Credit cards

  • Personal loans

  • Medical bills

  • Certain private collection accounts

Secured debts such as mortgages, auto loans, and most student loans generally are not eligible.

How long does debt settlement take?

Every situation is different. Most debt settlement programs are completed within 24 to 48 months, depending on factors such as:

  • Total debt enrolled

  • Monthly program deposits

  • Creditor participation

  • Individual financial circumstances

Will debt settlement stop collection calls?

While many creditors may continue collection efforts until a settlement is reached, our team works diligently to negotiate with creditors throughout your program.

Collection activity cannot be guaranteed to stop until an account has been successfully resolved.

Will debt settlement affect my credit score?
Yes.

Most clients experience a negative impact on their credit score because accounts enrolled in a debt settlement program often become delinquent before settlements are reached.

However, many clients choose debt settlement because they are already experiencing financial hardship, and resolving debt may place them in a stronger financial position over time.

Can creditors sue me?

Yes.

Creditors retain their legal rights while a debt remains unpaid, including the possibility of filing a lawsuit to collect a debt.

Although many debts are successfully settled before litigation occurs, no debt settlement company can guarantee that a creditor will not pursue legal action.

Are all creditors required to settle?

No.

Creditors are under no legal obligation to accept a settlement offer.

Each creditor independently decides whether to negotiate and what settlement terms they are willing to accept.

Will I pay taxes on forgiven debt?

Possibly.

The IRS generally considers canceled or forgiven debt to be taxable income unless an exception or exclusion applies.

If $600 or more of debt is forgiven, a creditor may issue IRS Form 1099-C (Cancellation of Debt).

Certain taxpayers may qualify for exclusions, such as insolvency, but tax laws are complex. We recommend consulting a qualified tax professional regarding your individual tax situation.

Are there any guarantees?

No.

Ethical debt settlement companies cannot guarantee:

  • Specific settlement percentages

  • Exact savings

  • Completion dates

  • Creditor participation

  • Credit score improvements

Every case depends on your financial circumstances and the willingness of individual creditors to negotiate.

Is debt settlement right for everyone?

No.

Debt settlement is not the best solution for every consumer.

Depending on your financial circumstances, other options may include:

  • Credit counseling

  • Debt management plans

  • Debt consolidation

  • Bankruptcy

  • Budget counseling

Our free consultation helps determine which option best fits your financial goals.

*Clients who make all their monthly program deposits pay approximately 55-75% of their original enrolled debts over 24 to 48 months. Not all clients are able to complete their program for various reasons, including their ability to save sufficient funds. Our estimates are based on prior results, which will vary depending on your specific enrolled creditors and your individual program terms. We do not guarantee that your debts will be resolved for a specific amount or percentage or within a specific period of time. We do not assume your debts, make monthly payments to creditors or provide tax, bankruptcy, accounting or legal advice or credit repair services. Our service is not available in all states and our fees may vary from state to state. Please contact a tax professional to discuss potential tax consequences of less than full balance debt resolution. Read and understand all program materials prior to enrollment. The use of debt settlement services will likely adversely affect your creditworthiness, may result in you being subject to collections or being sued by creditors or collectors and may increase the outstanding balances of your enrolled accounts due to the accrual of fees and interest. However, negotiated settlements we obtain on your behalf resolve the entire account, including all accrued fees and interest. C.P.D. Reg. No. T.S.12-03825.
