Common sense is something all of us possess but some of us choose not to use. Debt relief is the right choice for many people depending what situation they are in. Here are several examples and their possible solutions, hopefully this information will help many in choosing the help they really need. If you are in debt and:
. Cannot afford your monthly payments to your creditors due to high interest. Contact your creditors and try to make an arrangement to lower your interest rates. This will make it easier to make monthly payments. Most creditors will reduce your interest rates if you explain your situation correctly.
. If you contact your creditors and they do not lower your interest rates. Speak with a debt consolidator, they can help in arranging to lower your interest rates and consolidating all your credit card payments into one monthly payment. Do not stop making your payments to your creditors, you must be current on all accounts in order to consolidate. make sure the consolidation agency you choose to work with does not charge excessive fees.
. If you were unable to reach an arrangement with your creditor and debt consolidation is not the right option for you then debt settlement might be the next step. Again, no one should suggest that you stop making your payments to your creditors, but if you have come this far and have stopped making your payments on your own free will, debt settlement or debt negotiation is your next step. This process will allow you to save a percentage of the debt owed to your creditors. How much will this process allow you to save? No one knows, every account and every individual is looked at differently. Age, employment, assets, all is looked at before a settlement is offered. Keep in mind when trying to settle your accounts funds must be available because most settlements are offered in a lump sum payment or very few monthly installments.
. If you were unable to reach an arrangement with your creditor and debt consolidation or debt settlement are not an option you want to pursue, what next? Next, you should be speaking to a lawyer about bankruptcy. Remember, it is about using your common sense not your heart. We know most individuals want to make their payments on time to all of their creditors, but certain events in life may prevent them from doing so. If you are one of these individuals and feel one of the above options is right for you then by all means go ahead and explore it. Remember, some of the options above will have a negative impact on your credit score or credit report as well. Make sure to take your time to investigate on the option you think is best for you and stay away from agencies that will charge large amounts of money even before they start to help you out.
