Few high schools and colleges offer even a rudimentary course on how to
budget money and use credit wisely, so it is no wonder so many people get in
over their heads when it comes to credit cards and other consumer loans. It
is all too easy to just sign your name for every purchase and forget about
the inevitable bill.
The huge rise in levels of consumer debt has created a virtual cottage
industry in Debt Consolidation services. These services seek to help
consumers dig themselves out of their credit card debt and stand on solid
financial footing once again. The best Debt Consolidation services do far
more than help consumers reduce and eliminate their current debt. A good
Debt Consolidation service will help those consumers to learn about
budgeting and financial planning. Only by learning good budgeting and
spending skills can a consumer be assured that he or she will not fall back
into the credit card trap.
Debt Consolidation firms work with creditors on the behalf of consumers.
They are often able to negotiate friendlier repayment terms than the
individual can work out on their own. For instance, a credit card company
may be willing to lower your interest rate substantially to make sure you
are able to repay the balance you owe. In some cases, the bank may even be
willing to accept a lesser amount than what you owe. After all, it is in the
bank’s best interest as well as your own to keep you out of bankruptcy
court.
Debt Consolidation companies have experience negotiating these kinds of
deals. They often have contacts within the major banks and credit card
companies. They are able to use these contacts to get deals unobtainable by
the consumer working on their own.
As important as it is, paying off current debt is only part of the problem,
and it should be only part of the solution offered by a legitimate Debt
Consolidation company. It is just as important for a Debt Consolidation firm
to offer credit counseling services and budget courses to their clients.
When shopping for a Debt Consolidation company, be sure to inquire about
these kinds of services. A Debt Consolidation company that offers extensive
credit counseling and budgeting services can
help you to remain debt free.
Learning to budget your money is one of the most important financial skills
there is. Unfortunately, this vital life skill is all but ignored in the
school system today, and even most colleges devote precious little time to
this subject. No matter how much or how little money you make, it is
absolutely essential that every consumer learn how to live within their
means and budget their money properly. A good Debt Consolidation company
will understand the importance of this skill to your long term
financial well being and will devote the time necessary to help every client
prepare and stick to a good budget. The bottom line is that Debt
Consolidation can help when consumers get into trouble, but it is vital to
choose a Debt Consolidation firm that has your best interests at heart. The
best Debt Consolidation firms work hard to not only eliminate current debt
for
their clients, but also ensure that they do not incur further debt.
American Debt Foundation, Inc.
Debt settlement is a form of debt relief that can assist you in overcoming
the burden of overwhelming debt in less time and for less money than other
debt relief options.
On average, consumers who complete the American Debt Foundation's debt
settlement program do so in 3 to 5 years and generally pay less than half of
the balance owed.* That amount typically includes any interest charges, late
fees, and the debt settlement company's fees.
American Debt Foundation's debt settlement program is an alternative to
bankruptcy, which exists to assist consumers with significant debt due to
personal or medical hardships.
Too often, consumers join consumer credit counseling services in an attempt
to repay their debt, but soon find that it may have not been their best debt
relief option. Some estimates show over 75% of people who turn to consumer
credit counseling services either quit or are dropped from the program. As a
result, many clients end up filing for bankruptcy. Debt settlement is an
alternative solution for people who legitimately cannot afford to repay
their debts and are looking for an honest way out of a debt-burdened life.
Debt settlement serves an important role in the debt relief industry because
it is not like consumer credit counseling, debt consolidation and other debt
relief options that coach you through repaying your entire debt, even if you
cannot afford to do so. Instead, debt settlement involves negotiating with
your creditors to settle your debt for a reduced amount. This is why debt
settlement is a growing debt relief solution.
Many credit card companies have debt negotiation and settlement departments
for the specific purpose of negotiating with debt settlement companies like
American Debt Foundation. While they prefer that you repay the entire amount
you owe, creditors understand that lending credit is a risk, and sometimes
consumers experience legitimate financial hardships that prevent them from
repaying the full debt.
It is important to us that you understand the debt settlement process or any
other debt relief option you choose before committing to a program. The
following pages explain how and why the debt settlement process works. Keep
in mind that not all debt settlement companies are alike and others may not
have the same process and steps described here.
What is debt settlement?
Debt settlement is when you repay your creditors less than you owe to
satisfy your debt. People with overwhelming debt can enroll with a debt
settlement company who will negotiate with their creditors to settle their
debts for a fraction of what they owe.
In a debt settlement program, you deposit money into a savings account each
month, instead of paying your creditors. Once enough money builds up, the
company negotiates with your creditors to accept a lump sum payment. If the
creditor accepts, this agreement settles the account. Your debt is
considered paid and you can begin saving for the next settlement offer.
What settlement results do your clients typically see?
On average, we settle our clients' debts for about 30-50% of the entire
amount owed.
How long will it take me to get out of debt?
Our program graduates are typically out of debt in 12 to 36 months.
Can American Debt Foundation help with harassing collection calls?
No company can completely stop debt collector calls. However, we ask your
creditors to contact us directly about your accounts. We also offer specific
advice for dealing with unwanted collector calls that come to your home.
Does American Debt Foundation offer any guarantees?
American Debt Foundation is one of the few companies in this industry to
offer a 30 day money back guarantee.
How much is American Debt Foundation's debt settlement program going to cost
me?
Our professional debt consultants will work with you to create a customized
payment plan according to your financial situation. Our fees are a
percentage of the total amount you owe.
Why would my creditors accept less than the full amount I owe?
Your creditors prefer to collect the full amount you owe; however, they know
that if you file bankruptcy, they may receive no payment at all. Creditors
are usually open to debt settlement once they recognize that you are facing
significant financial hardships and are trying to avoid bankruptcy. Your
creditors would rather accept a lump sum payment of 50% of your debt than
risk getting nothing at all.
Can I be sued by my creditors while enrolled in your program?
We do everything in our power to negotiate a mutually agreeable settlement,
but there is the possibility a creditor can take legal action to get you to
pay. This usually happens when creditors think they can recover the full
amount you owe through the courts. We are not a law firm and we recommend
you speak with a licensed attorney in your state for more information.
How will debt settlement affect my credit?
Debt settlement can have a negative impact on your credit.
However, debt settlement can also get you out of debt faster than many other
debt relief options so you can begin rebuilding your credit sooner. If you
are already behind on payments, or you might be shortly, your credit is
already impaired - you have too much debt compared to your income. This is
known as a high debt-to-income ratio. To be considered credit-worthy again,
you must drastically reduce or eliminate your debt, thereby reducing your
debt-to-income ratio.
Remember, you can always rebuild your credit and it's much easier to rebuild
your credit without the burden of overwhelming debt or a bankruptcy mark on
your credit report.
Once I've enrolled in American Debt Foundation's debt settlement program,
who maintains control of my finances?
You maintain control of your finances. Instead of paying us or your
creditors, you deposit money into a third-party savings account every month.
When enough money accrues and your creditors are ready to settle, the money
from that account goes toward your settlement. Because you ultimately
maintain control of your finances, your commitment is essential to the
success of your program.
What if I need to cancel the program?
You can cancel the program and withdrawal the money in your set-aside
account at any time. We do not have a long term commitment, so you are under
no contractual obligation to stay if you decide the program is not right for
you. You will not be charged any penalty fees, closing fees or any other
hidden charges.
Does everyone qualify for American Debt Foundation's debt settlement
program?
Not everyone qualifies for debt settlement. Debt settlement is an
alternative to bankruptcy for people with overwhelming debt who have endured
personal or financial hardships that prevent them from repaying their
creditors.
What types of debt does American Debt Foundation settle?
There are generally two types of debt: unsecured and secured. Secured debt
is backed by collateral such as a house or a car. American Debt Foundation
cannot settle secured debts because creditors can simply repossess the
assets if you fall behind in payments. Unsecured debt is not backed, or
secured, by collateral and therefore it can be negotiated. Unsecured debts
include credit card debt, medical bills, repossessions, etc.

Debt Consolidation
Program
There are quite a few companies in the Debt Consolidation & Credit
Consolidation business, and some of them are more skillful and more
effective
than others. A good Debt Consolidation & Credit Consolidation company will
not only work with your creditors to negotiate better payment terms, but
they will continue to work with you after the debt is paid. A quality debt
counselor will provide vital information on
subjects like budgeting, personal finance and the proper use of credit
cards. These important financial subjects are often
glossed over or not taught at all in school, but it is vital to your
financial future that you understand how to make and
stick to a budget, and when to use – and not use – your credit privileges.
But of course paying off your current debt is your primary goal, and that is
as it should be. No one likes to be in debt, and
being in debt can produce stress and even strain your marriage or
relationship. Debt Consolidation & Credit Consolidation services work with
your
creditors to renegotiate repayment of your debt. Sometimes they do that by
convincing your bank or credit card company to
lower the interest rate, other times they can even eliminate it entirely.
Debt Consolidation & Credit Consolidation firms can also work with credit
card companies and banks to get them to accept a lower payment amount.
Creditors are often willing to accept less than 100% repayment because they
know that if the consumer is forced to declare
bankruptcy they will likely get nothing. The employees of credit counseling
and Debt Consolidation & Credit Consolidation firms are skilled at
speaking to credit card companies on their terms and in their language, and
for this reason they can often obtain cooperation
much more effectively than the consumer could on his or her own.
If you think you may need the services of a Debt Consolidation & Credit
Consolidation service, be sure to shop around at several different firms to
find the one who best meets your needs. There are many competing Debt
Consolidation & Credit Consolidation firms, and you can find the best fit by
shopping around.
