The ups and downs of debt settlement

December 2, 2009

Debt Settlement is one of the couple practical avenues available to people riddled with credit card debt. However just as with anything else there are pros and cons when regarding settling your credit card debt balances.

We will begin with the cons.

1. A temporary drop in your credit rating. No collector will be willing to make a debt settlement until you have fallen significantly past due. So when you are past due your FICO credit report will take a unfavorable hit. However the negative remarks from credit card debt settlement are able to be corrected, a good credit repair company can get those negatives taken off your credit report.

2. The harassment you will be given when falling behind. As you can imagine you will receive phone calls in an attempt to collect the debt. Depending on what company you use for credit card debt relief, collection activity can be significantly reduced if not stopped. But you will receive collections calls to some extent.

3. Potential of being sued. Lawsuits are always a possibility, while it does not occur anywhere near as much as one might think it does happen. Again with a legitimate firm this process can be deferred so a negotiation outside of court can be reached. When you are being sued the creditor filing for suit often is aware that they will not collect the entire amount and the creditor is more so very willing to make a settlement.

Now for the benefits of debt settlement.

1. The large amount of savings! You can honestly look to save between 40-50% of the amount of debt you owe. Not only will you save money off of your current balance, but you must take into consideration the amount of cash you would be losing through monthly minimum payments and high interest.

2. Get out of debt quickly. Of all the credit card debt relief systems, settlement will put you on the fasted road to becoming debt free. You can be looking to get out of debt within 2 years or less. This is a long shot away from how utterly long it would take to be out of debt through minimum payments.

I personally think the pros do considerably outweigh the con’s. Nothing is worse than forfeiting hundreds if not thousands of dollars every month for possibly decades through monthly minimum payments and high interest. Credit card debt is cancer to your finances. How in the world can you save or invest for the future when you are barely making ends meet each month to stay current with your credit card.
