Want To Settle Your Debt As An Alternative To Bankruptcy? Talk To Us First.
Debt settlement is an effective method of debt relief that involves offering your creditor a lump sum payment for your debt. The lump sum payment should be somewhat less than the original amount owed. In the creditor’s eyes, this payment satisfies, or settles the debt and rids you of your financial liability. Often, a debtor can obtain favorable settlement terms, because many creditors are willing to accept only 40% to 50% of the original debt amount. In some cases, they may even accept only 20% or 30% of the entire amount.
An individual can attempt to negotiate a settlement with their creditor, but there are cases in which the creditor will offer a settlement first if it is evident that the person will not be able to pay their full debt amount in the foreseeable future.
Debt settlement offers are usually finite in nature, and once they have passed, creditors can engage in further collection actions or even legal action. If you are intent on settling a debt with your creditor, or if you have been given a settlement offer, it is highly advised that you contact our Dallas bankruptcy attorney at the Engel Law Group, P.S..
