  • Debt settlement is one of the best options….

    …when it comes to getting out of debt; it’s a far superior option than filing bankruptcy which should be an absolute last resort as it will stay on your record for years to come. Bankruptcy is the financial equivalent of major surgery; you should only do it if it’s absolutely necessary. Filing bankruptcy can cause you to lose all your credit cards and possibly some of your luxury possessions, it can also prevent you from getting a mortgage for at least five years and it stays on your record for ten years.

    You could also choose to do nothing and just pay the minimum monthly payments on all your debts, but this could mean you would be in debt for the rest of your life, and who wants to be paying off credit cards well into retirement? The best thing to do is own up to the debt you’ve gotten yourself into and take the proper steps to get rid of it.

    Clear Debt Solution offers debt settlement because it is the fastest and least expensive option to clear up your debt without filing bankruptcy. If you are only making minimum payments on your debts and feel like you are getting nowhere, then debt settlement is likely just what you need. Clear Debt Solution will work with your creditors on your behalf to settle your debt and provide you with a low, affordable monthly payment. They can often settle your debt for a fraction of what you owe, because if you file bankruptcy your creditors will get nothing. If you are in financial trouble, they will likely be willing to give you a settlement so they can get at least some of their money back. Once the debt has been paid in full on the settled amount, the creditor will send a letter to the credit bureaus stating that the debt has been “Paid”, “Settled” and/or “Settled for less than full amount.”

    By choosing debt settlement you can end up reducing the amount of debt you owe by up to 40 to 60 percent. You will also be given an affordable monthly payment based on your monthly budget, which will be considerably less than you are paying now while you are making all these minimum payments. Each client receives their own personalized third party trust account to track and manage their funds. The funds will be dispersed from your third party trust account immediately after a settlement has been reached and once the creditor receives the payment you are free and clear of that debt forever.

  • Top 10 Myths about Debt & Bankruptcy

    Money

    Money

    One of the worst things that can happen to a person is bankruptcy. It is the culmination of a debt spiral, but it is not the end of the world. Many people have created myths about debt and bankruptcy, but these are not true and knowing fact from fiction can help you get through debt and bankruptcy much easier.

    1. Some people try to excuse their own debt by using the logic that everyone is in debt and you cannot live without being in debt. This is not always the case, though it is usually necessary to get a mortgage when you buy a house and a loan when you buy a vehicle, but it is not imperative to use credit cards or take out a loan when you are short on cash. Telling yourself that everyone else does it is not going to help you.
    2. Many people are under the impression that all debt is bad debt, which is untrue. Debts like mortgages, car loans and overdraft are debts that make sense. It is cheaper to get a mortgage than to pay rent, and overdraft protection can save you money if something unexpected comes up.
    3. Bad credit ratings do not last for life, some people do not realize this. Creditors will keep you on file for up to six years, but there are many ways to rebuild your credit.
    4. Another myth is that you cannot borrow money if you have bad credit. In some cases, such as getting a mortgage, you can, but will not be offered a low interest rate. There is also a good chance you can obtain a credit card, but again the interest rate will likely be higher and you will most likely have to pay a fee up front to get the card.
    5. Some people worry that debt collectors can show up at your door if you get behind on your payments, or cannot make your payments at all. This is not the case, because legally they are not allowed to do this unless YOU give them permission to do so. Some debt collectors try to trick clients into this by telling them someone will be coming to their house at a certain time to collect on the debt. If you agree to this, you have given them permission to do so. Simply tell them that it is against the law and you are not authorizing it.
    6. Debt advice will not necessarily cost you money. People who are in need of help may not seek it because they feel they cannot afford it, but there are many debt consolidation companies and counselors who will give you free advice.
    7. Credit card companies are often looked at as the “bad guy,” but if you talk to them they will likely be more than willing to help you out. After all, if you file for bankruptcy they get nothing.
    8. Many people are wary of filing for bankruptcy because they think everyone will know and they will be humiliated; this is not true. In fact, it is likely that the only people who will know are you and your creditors.
    9. It is also feared that if you file bankruptcy you will lose everything you have, which is also false. As long as you continue making payments on your mortgage and car loan you will not lose your house or vehicle.
    10. One of the big reasons people are wary of filing for bankruptcy is that they think only “deadbeats” do it, but most often when people have to file for bankruptcy it is after a life changing event such as a divorce, business failure or a major illness.
