103 18
The unemployment epidemic has not ended yet.
The impact of recession is much hazardous than any of the economists estimated.
The Obama administration took up the herculean task to eradicate this problem from the root.
The market has emerged with a promising future in 2010.
There has been continuous flow of funds to meet the economic crisis with an equal effort to create jobs.
The job cuts and unemployment was so abrupt that it barely gave a chance to organizations and people to prepare a barricade against the threat.
Not only the corporate giants but the common people are also forced to declare bankrupt due to lack of resources.
The previous year saw unprecedented number of bankruptcy and financial institutions are left will fewer option than to settle for something less.
The federal stimulus plan rolled out money in the market to support the falling structures.
Credit card companies could breathe a sigh of relief and are ready to settle the debt for lower APR and reduce the principal amount as well.
People under huge debt were forced to declare bankruptcy.
However the repercussions of bankruptcy are not simple.
It stays in the bank record for at least 7years and with the state record for 10, depending on the section under which bankruptcy is filed.
Besides, any financial transaction needs court approval and the whole process of bankruptcy might take months as well.
Private companies own the right to deny job or personal loan based on your bankruptcy statement.
Apparently bankruptcy might free you of the temporary liability of paying the debt, getting rid of the threats from banks and collection agencies but closes further possibilities of getting further loan.
It is a nasty and unpleasant experience someone has to go through.
Bankruptcy not only handicaps the borrower but the lender as well, they are no more in a position to claim even a penny of the loan.
On the other hand, debt settlement is a milder option, which has few disadvantages but definitely a preferred option.
Debt settlement is based on negotiation.
You negotiate with the bank to reduce the credit amount you owe or hire a professional to do it for you.
Your financial condition owing to loss of job or salary cut builds a background and wins over the faith of the credit card company.
Since these companies have suffered massive loss during recession, they are willing to help you out and recover as much possible.
A bad credit history would accompany the debt settlement but it can quickly be mended over a couple of years, and you always have a choice to take more loan from the market.
