Debt relief can be a confusing topic. It doesn’t have to be.

Debt relief is the process of settling your unsecured debts for a lesser amount than what’s owed to the creditor.  That’s the short version.  With close to $4 trillion in consumer debt in just the U.S. alone, creditors are eager to get their outstanding debts collected. The problem is, due to outrageous interest rates most of your monthly payment goes to interest, not paying down your debt. While this works out great for the creditors, it means your unsecured debt will take significantly longer to pay off.

When you make the decision to enroll in our program, one of the first steps we take to help you is reducing or eliminating your interest rates. Now, your money is actually paying off the principle debt rather than the interest.

A manageable monthly payment.

While enrolled in our program you’ll make a single, monthly payment into an FDIC insured dedicated account. This payment amount is completely based on your budget and financial situation. Our certified debt consultants review each candidate’s situation to determine a payment that you can afford. The best part? No interest rate.

We know what you’re thinking: won’t a debt relief program hurt my credit? The answer is yes, temporarily, and often less than you might think.

The key to a successful debt relief program is having the tools to quickly and efficiently rebuild your credit. We discuss credit concerns, rebuilding credit both during and after a program, and the type of impact you may experience on our consumer finance blog.

Your settlement funds are building.

As you make your monthly payments into your debt savings account, our settlement team gets to work. Generally, it takes about 6 months of payments into this account for us to get you the best savings. During this time your credit may drop, but don’t forget, we’re actively working behind the scenes to eliminate your debt quickly and completely.

Once the funds have built up, we begin settling your debts.  Using our 15 years of experience in the industry, we know the best time to settle with each individual creditor, maximizing your savings and speed of recovery.  As far as the credit score that may have dropped during this time, when we begin to settle each of your debts your debt to income ratio is reduced.  Debt to income ratio plays a big role in a lending decision; as it’s reduced, your buying power recovers.

Typically, debt relief programs take 24 to 48 months to complete.

That means rather than paying interest rates for the next 10 to 20 years, you’ll eliminate your debt completely in just 24 to 48 months on average. We decided a long time ago to focus on the customer, not the profit. We don’t ever take up-front payments, and you maintain control of everything. Our expert negotiators are in regular communication with you, letting you know where your account stands and settlements in progress.
