How Debt Negotiation Works
Debt negotiation is an approach that attempts to reduce your overall debt owed as well as change other terms of your original agreement to resolve your obligations to your creditors. A successful debt negotiation could mean that a settlement is reached where your outstanding debt balance is significantly lower than the current amount owed.
Unlike credit counseling or debt consolidation where you must pay back the full balance on your debts, the debt negotiation process can make a huge difference in how soon you pay off your balance when the principal amount is reduced.
The first step to a successful settlement starts with proof of your financial hardship. This will help us to explain to creditors why you have been unable to make your current monthly payments and why they should agree to new terms.
We will then work with you to fully understand your situation and financial circumstances to determine an amount you can reasonably manage. Once agreed, we then work to negotiate on your behalf with the creditor. Every creditor is different, but our extensive experience and industry knowledge has enabled us to become deeply familiar with many creditors and know what strategies will work best with them.
