I have been checking into Debt Settlement and I do not feel to safe going with the companies I have found on the internet. This group gives you the information to do it yourself. Just wondering if anyone found this to be helpful.
does any body knows a goo debt settlement company. i will appreciate any information.
I have done a lot of research on debt settlement vs trying to settle debts on my own. Understanding my own strengths and weaknesses, I think I would benefit using a professional company. Now, I just have to figure out which one to go with. I’m interested in Halo, as you get to keep your money in your own savings account, rather than an escrow, and you pay the creditor directly when a settlement is reached. I’d just like to feel better assured that they won’t rip me off! Does anyone have experience with them?
I am making minimum payments with a few credit card companies but could have trouble paying these in the future. I don’t want to go through a debt consolidation company or a debt settlement company. Is it possible to call on my own and warn them I will file for bankruptcy and ask to settle before I stop paying for 30-90 days like most experts say? Can someone give me their advice or opinion on this? Thanks
I am in debt from helping my son when he was off work. Helping my elderly father. Also, my ex-husband was fired from his job and now we are divorcing. I am in so much debt that I am far behind on payments and I make too much money to file a chapter 7. I would have to file a chapter 13 and pay back a portion anyway. Would a debt settlement company be a better option?
I am currently enrolled in a reputable debt settlement company about a year into the 3 year process. One account has settled so far. One of my creditors is suing me, but the company is working hard to get it settled asap and I have responded to the court. I am not ignoring the summons just in case we can’t settle. I just want to know if anyone has gone through this process and cleaned up their debt for good. It is so stressful, but we were on the heels of bankruptcy and felt this was a good option for us to avoid bankruptcy.
I called creditsolutions a minute ago and they told me that they are not a consolidation company. I told them that I have a debt for 16,000. They told me that they can get my debt company to settle for 9,800. and they charge a 15% fee. Does this sounds okay. Please recommend me to some other company but not consolidation I do not want to consolidate I want a debt settlement company. That I would still pay, I heard when these consolidation company pays for me It haunts my credit score.
Please refer me to some website
We are thinking about it but I heard that some don’t pay your debt off and you are still facing bankruptcy? Are some repetuble?
Debt settlement where you pay like 40% of what you owe for 3 years. Not a loan.
I need to know the best company that provides credit debt related services like debt negotiation, debt settlement, debt collection, debt consolidation and others.
I am looking into debt settlement and I am leery of the fees and ethics of the various companies that are out there. I find mixed reviews on all of the larger ones. Anyway, Charles Phelan’s do it yourself plan is intriguing and other people have reported here that they have been able to settle their own debts with their creditors. I feel that I need some guidance but I also want to feel ultimately responsible for and empowered during the process, so the ZipDebt program SOUNDS like the best option but I’d like feedback from anyone who has used it.
my wife has a few credit cards in which she has about 6k in debt. then she took out her 401k in order to pay some off(which brought it down to 6k) and so we both got nothing back from our taxes and now we owe the irs 4k. then we got a car payment we are paying for which is another 6k. now we are trying to pay it off but its a lot and i need some ideas on how to pay this debt without bankruptcy or using a debt settlement company? i have debt too but its like 2k so i’m worried about hers first. i’m at my whits end and need some help please!
the car loan we have in not exactly a lein. i was sold a car on a bogus payment plan and we took out a loan to pay off mine while she used her car as colateral. so we are still paying this loan.
what are the pros and cons for a person that settles their debts with credit card companies for less than the amount owed?
(Debt settlement)
and how does this affect your credit rating afterwards?
thank you ahead of time for all responses!
I became divorced and was unable to pay even the minimum amounts. I used a debt settlement company who told me I could show insolvency and not have to claim the 5,000 as income. But I don’t know how to proceed.
Several years ago, I was under-employed and drowning in credit card debt. I chose to go the debt settlement route. I was never comfortable with the process. Recently, I have come into a sum of money which can eliminate that full amount of debt with no settlements. Since my credit score is fairly low already, should I take advantage of the relationship with the debt settlement company and pay less? Or would it be better for me, and my credit, to pay off the full amount?
what can i do now that debt settlement has only made matters worse with my credit card debt?
I am considering using a debt settlement company but am concerned about the details.
I am looking for a debt settlement back end to help me get into the debt settlement business, so suggestions would be appreciated.
How do you know which debt settlement or debt consolidation program to choose?

My wife and I have settled 2 credit cards thru a debt settlement company with no problems. We are now in the process of settling hers, this is the last one. But, now it was sent to a law firm and now she has to go to court. We have a little saved up in our acct. w/ the settlement company. Was wanting to know if this has happened to anyone and if so, when you went to court were still able to pay off your debt when a settlement was reached or what.

How long do they have respond? It has been a week. Should I keep sending them the letter..? am I on the right track.
I am only 19, and want to fix my mistakes I made with two credit cards I made last year! also how will it look on my credit if its paid?
What’s the best debt settlement company to go with? Not credit counseling but debt settlement.
The credit card account was closed and the collection agency offered me a debt settlement for 1500 dollars less. I took the option and paid off the account. They sent me a letter saying account was satisfied. However I lost that letter. Now I need it for employment purpose because they want to make sure I don’t owe money. Will the credit card company still be able to fax me a letter saying account was settled?
It’s not showing that I owe money. I had to mention to my employer if I "made negotiation with creditor". I answered yes and in details provided that I paid off the debt settlement. Now my employer just need proof of that payment.
My spouse & I are in serious financial problems. I think we need to file bankruptcy because he has stopped paying his credit cards. i’m keeping up with the utilities and my own credit cards. we own 2 homes, 1 of which is on the market and my spouse refuses to bring down the asking price and now the morgage company has started foreclosure on that property. he’s been able to sort of keep with the morgage payments on the home we live in. my ? is, is debt settlement a good option? I don’t know where to turn to anymore. My spouse wants to "keep up the fight".
What would happen if the creditor rejects the offer from debt Settlement Company regarding about my credit cards debt? Will I facing a law suit?
i m in credit card debts rite now and my current creditors charge me upto 30 pecent interest what are the best ways to get it worked out for example do u suggest me debt consolidation or debt settlement? which one is more preferred or if there is any pro and cons associated with any of those or if u have any other suggestions ? thanks
I was going to go with a debt settlement company, but I am getting way to nervous about it so I think I am not going to do it. For some reason my gut is telling me not to go with them. They want their fees first before they start working on my debt which makes me think they will just take their money and run.
So I was wondering can I settle my own debt with my credit card companies? I have been reading a lot of articles that say the credit card companies are willing to settle your debt for less now so they will still get paid some of it? What is the best way to do this…I would like to do it on my own so I don’t have to pay anyone else. That way I also know that my debts will definitely get paid off. One of the issues I have though is let’s say I have ,000 on a credit card and call them and they agree if I pay ,500 of it they will mark it as paid in full. I don’t have the 00 right away do you know will they let me pay the ,500 off without fees and over a payment plan? How does all of this work when you are trying to do it on your own?
As of right now I am 3-4 months behind on paying my cards off.
They’re saying they can settle for around 50% or less. But the web address URL ( http://www.americandebtsettlementgroup.com ) doesn’t work, however they are listed in the BBB under this law office: http://data.phoenix.bbb.org/commonreport.html?bid=97015677
Anyone ever tried American Debt Settlement Group? Or any other debt settlement or debt consolidation companies?
Before paying the debt, I want to know about the debt settlement service cost through law firm. How much will it cost?
I have been told that now is the time to do debt settlement if you are currently unemployed and recently widowed. A lawyer has said this is the time to do it while the window of opportunity is open all because of the bad economy situation. What do you think?
