FAQ
Truth about debt settlement
Not too many people know the truth about debt settlement; they either do not understand how it fully works or how it can help you. Most consumers do not know that debt settlement is the best option that they have for becoming debt free. Not only is this option almost always a better one to choose than say bankruptcy but it is also the one that is easier to enroll in and to finish. Debt settlement is an excellent way to eliminate debt and pay for a less than amount that you owe to your creditors and be debt free in a far less time. People paint this program as being totally horrible and even can get you further into debt and can make the situation worse and do even more damage to your credit by leaving you no choice but to file bankruptcy. This is not the case if you sign up with an honest debt settlement program.
As with everything there are both pros and cons. If done right and with the right company the pros will far out shadow the cons. There are a few things that debt settlement has against it, one is that your credit will be affected and also before being able to settle on your debt while enrolled into a settlement program you need to have the cards go into litigation. This means that you need to stop paying on the debts during this time for three months during this time you can be paying into the trust account to start to help eliminate debt faster. The creditors can also use their right to come after you for the amount of money that you did save. Also a thing that can be looked negatively onto this settlement program is that there are companies charge large upfront fees to enter the program which is to only join, other times it can be to pay down the amount that you actually owe but most of that money will be going directly towards the company.
Now here are the pros of the program. Not only will you be debt free but you will eliminate the debt that is enrolled into the program. If you thought that bankruptcy was your only option you may come to find out that there are other options out there, one being debt settlement. First of all, you will be paying less on the amount that you owe in most cases you will be saving and eliminate debt by 40-60%, you will be debt free in as little as 15-48 months instead of 10-15 years. You will not have to file bankruptcy and you will be on the road to financial freedom.

Debt settlement companies
While debt settlement does work, consumers need to understand that there are two types of companies that you can choose from regarding debt settlement. There are the debt settlement companies that just want the sale and treat the consumer as just another number without any regard to the consumer or their want to be debt free and move on with life. While on the other hand there are companies out there that in fact do care about you the consumer and would love to help you get to the point in your life where you do not have to worry about debt like before and also let you know that there are people to help and that this does happen and no one is here to judge. There are the companies that are just looking to get a sale and will not tell you about the possible actions that your creditors can take against you as a result of a settlement program. A few of those things are that your credit will be affected during the process because you need to be in litigation to have your accounts settled on for a less than amount owed. The other is your creditors can have the right to come after you for the full amount of money that you owe less the amount that you have saved. While this can happen it depends on how good of a company that you sign up with and what they will do for you.
When deciding to enroll into a settlement program you need to find out what a company will do for you meaning that if your creditors try and sue you, what the company will do. Factors like this should determine what you should decide and who you should go with regarding debt settlement companies. One thing to also look at when deciding about a settlement company is if they are associated with T.A.S.C. this is The Association Of Settlement Companies. They are an organization which governs the settlement industry and protects consumers like yourselves from unnecessary fees that companies charge up front, so you need to ask the company and yourself, why would you sign up with someone who charges outrageous start up fees to join the program and if they are there to help you why are they charging you money upfront to help you become debt free. So with all that being said there are honest debt settlement companies out there and they are there to help the consumers. So as the consumer you just need to know that if you have had an encounter with a bad company please know that there are companies out there who can and is willing to help you become debt free and on the road to financial freedom.

Debt settlement questions
Many people are misled by debt settlement companies in these times and it is sad, most of the companies out there are taking advantage of the situation that people are in and exploiting them just so that they can get ahead and make money off of them. There are companies that exist where they actually do want to help the consumer and give them an answer to all of their debt questions and really want to help the consumer get out of debt and get on with their life. There are a lot of settlement companies out there but how do you know which one is the best to choose and to become their client. Before choosing who you should go with there are several settlement questions that you should ask potential settlement companies before giving them your business. Below are some settlement questions that you should ask debt settlement companies to know that you are going to be taken care of and to see if they are here for to help you.
- Do you offer a money back guarantee?
If you are not offered one for at least 30 days do not use this company. - Will you stop the calls from my creditors?
If you are told that they will be stopped completely this is not an honest company, the truth of the matter is that the calls will be slowed and a few may trickle through. - Will you be the one making the monthly payments to my creditors?
If a company says that they will be paying your creditors and to give the money directly to them do not use this company, why would you pay someone else to do something that you can do on your own. - Will this have a negative impact on my credit score?
The answer is yes, if you are told otherwise you are being lied to and do not use this company. - Are you associated with anyone and if so who?
If the company is not associated with anyone this should be an immediate red flag, good debt settlement companies are associated with T.A.S.C. T.A.S.C. is the biggest trade association that governs that debt settlement industry. To become a member of T.A.S.C. the company needs to be scrutinized and comply with their standards. T.A.S.C. governs the debt settlement industry and protects consumers from unnecessary fees, if the company is not governed by them this is not a reputable company; they also apply and govern the next two questions that you should ask. - When should I expect my first settlement to go through?
The answer on this varies, it all depends on the amount of debt that is enrolled into the program and how good the settlement company is at settling debt, you should expect to see your first settlement in the first 12 months. Many companies take the first 3-6 months of your payment and pocket that money for their payment of enrolling you into their system. This means that your first settlement would not go through for at least 15-18 months. This is a red flag and is not an honest company. - How long will I be enrolled into the program and how much will the total cost be?
If you are given an exact amount and date that you will be done with the program that is a lie, debt settlement is not an exact equation or science, companies who tell you otherwise are feeding you lies, there are companies out there that do give you time frames and they can be based on worse case scenarios and in actuality you can be out of the program cheaper and faster if you are told by someone otherwise this should be a caution, also genuine programs should run you no longer than 48 months. - Can I be taxed on my savings?
The answer is yes, the creditors reserve the right to come after you for this money and you may be held responsible for the amount of money saved, if you are told otherwise this is a lie and you should not use that company, reputable companies will not only settle on your debt, but if you are sued the company should fight for you to get that removed. - Where does my monthly payment go?
If you are told that you are to pay the amount directly to the settlement company this is a major red flag; your monthly payment should be placed in a FDIC insured trust account that only you have access to, if a company asks you to pay them directly do not use this company. - Where do you settle your debt?
Many companies outsource the settlement which in turn makes your fees that you pay the settlement company higher and can carry out the program even longer. If a company settles the debt in house than there will be little to no fees to pay. - What are the fees involved?
If a company is unable to explain their fees to you or what they charge you this is not a good company to use. The main answer to your question that you receive is that the fees are fixed and not based on a floating amount. Also if there are administrative fees and you can not get a quote for the amount of debt you have this in not an honest company.

Troy H. - Springville, Utah - "I was on the verge of filing bankruptcy since I thought that this was my only option. My last resort was contacting Redeemed Debt Solutions and Mat explained to me the options that were on the table. I had no idea the horrible repercussions that bankruptcy would have been to me and my family. He explained to me the options that I had that were exact to my specific situation. I am now enrolled in their program and could be any happier. I was so happy to finally have someone explain my situation to my instead of just trying to get a sale. Now I do not have bankruptcy haunting me for the next 7-10 years and I will be out of debt in as little as 36 months. Thanks Mat you are amazing!"
Brandon M. - Anaheim Hills, California - "Thank you so much Jenifer for giving my family hope. You really took the time and helped me solve my needs. I had searched for many debt settlement companies and I was happy to find Redeemed Debt Solutions. I am writing you to express my gratitude towards you Jenifer and your company. I would have been so lost and would have gone with another company to realize that it was a bad decision. You gave me so much insight on the program that I was entering into that no other company would have been able to do. Not only were you able to help me but you were able to help my relatives and close family friends. I owe you my life, I like the fact that you took the time to explain the same questions that I had two or three times! Thanks Again!"
Rosalio P. - Yuba City, California - "Stan I want to thank you and your company for helping me. I was embarrassed because I was in debt. My friends would come over and my phone would be ringing off the hook. So I switched to a cell phone and my life was shaken up. I was even being harassing at work. This left me with no where to turn. I was referred to you by a friend and that was the best phone call I could have ever made. After signing up with Redeemed Debt Solutions, your highly skilled attorneys did exactly what they said that they would do. They actually made me debt free in 36 months when my goal was 48 months. Stan, you were right! This was a better alternative to bankruptcy; I now see how many options I did have. My father always said, “Knowledge is cheap, ignorance is expensive.” Thanks you Redeemed for empowering me with the knowledge to grab a hold of my debt."

Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy is a common concern and misconception by many people. Bankruptcy should be your last resort, if you have no other debt relief options you should do everything that you can not to file. You should view all of your options and avoid bankruptcy. Not only will filing bankruptcy haunt your credit and be a burden to you but it will remain on your credit for the next 7-10 years and you will have a life long accountability for the bankruptcy. During the time you file bankruptcy it will be difficult and next to impossible to obtain a credit card, secure a car loan or any loan of that matter; and a home will be out of the question while filing bankruptcy. After your bankruptcy has been discharged you will be able to buy a home after 2 years but you would have to come up with at least 15-20% for a down payment. In some cases, bankruptcy may be the only option that you have to receive debt relief. Most people do not understand that there are other options to become debt free and on the road to financial freedom. Not everyone is quite clear on when bankruptcy would be your only option. An example would be if John owes 100k in credit card debt and his income is 45k and your bills overshadow your income, filing bankruptcy would be your best option in this scenario. In a bankruptcy if you have personal assets such as home(s), automobiles, or secured assets your possessions may be liquidated and used to pay your creditors. So if deciding if bankruptcy is the right solution for you it needs to be decided if this would be the best move for you and your family.
Even though after filing and it has been taken off your record some creditors can refuse you from getting credit or even a loan because you have filed bankruptcy. Also another item with bankruptcy is that you can only file once every 8 years, so the question then becomes why file bankruptcy when there can be other options available to you (debt settlement is an alternative form of bankruptcy) and if you do need to file make sure that it is the last resort that you have. In more cases than not debt settlement is going to be your best option and give you debt relief.

Chapter 7
The most sought after form of bankruptcy is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. This is sometimes called a straight bankruptcy which is a liquidation proceeding. The person who wished to file would then transfer over all non-exempt property to the bankruptcy holder who would then in turn transfer that into cash for distribution to the different holders of the debt. The enrollee will receive a discharge of all their available dischargeable debt usually within several months. If you have assets while filing a Chapter 7 the judge will cease these assets to cover the debt. If there are no assets to render you then will be forgiven of all debt and then will move towards building credit. Even though you can start to build credit after filing Chapter 7 the cons of filing far out weigh the pros. You may be debt free and possibly have the opportunity of not owing on the debt then the cons are much more damaging and long lasting. This is the main reason why you should avoid bankruptcy. You can have your assets sold off to suffice the debt. Filing will always be on your record and people say that bankruptcy is a short term fix for a lifetime of accountability.

Chapter 13
Out of the two types of bankruptcies Chapter 13 is the worst, not only will you still owe on the debt but the fact you filed will follow you the rest of your life. If you want to file Chapter 7 and the judge deems it necessary and sees that you can have the means to repay your debt he can enroll you into a chapter 13. With a Chapter 13 you will be placed on a repayment program to pay back your debt in full and can have your wages garnished if you are unable to make the payments. Not only will the fact of filing bankruptcy stay on your credit for 7-10 years and will follow you the rest of your life you will have to pay back the entire amount owed. This by far is the worst form of bankruptcy. More likely than not a lien will be placed upon your home and you can actually also end up losing your home to cover your debts. So in conclusion, if you have a debt relief option you should take it over filing bankruptcy as said before it should be your last option. Why not find out all your other possible options and then make a decision that would be the best for your family so you can become debt free and on the road to financial freedom.

Debt consolidation
Just like with bankruptcy if you enroll into a debt consolidation program you will be required to pay off your entire debt in full. In enrolling into this type of program you can try to have your interest rates reduced along with trying to get a lower amount so that you may try and get debt relief and a manageable monthly payment. Most people do not fully understand exactly how a debt consolidation program works. For some people this is the best option, while others see debt consolidation as just delaying the inevitable and would like to become debt free faster and to not owe on the total amount. Just like debt settlement there are both pros and cons to debt consolidation. With consolidation you will have to make a payment each month towards paying off the loan that you need to take out and pay off your debt, if you are unable to pay for that amount each month you can have your wages garnished. Debt consolidation will take you longer to pay off your debts rather than a debt settlement program but your credit will not be affected. With debt consolidation it will take you a longer time to pay your debt as you are going to be paying the full amount of your debt over a longer period of time while trying to reduce the interest rate to a manageable amount. While enrolled into a debt consolidation program you may be tempted to use your cards which can lead you further into a debt problem and may even lead you to having to file bankruptcy. Also you need to realize that when you are taking out a consolidation loan you need to know that you are relying on someone else to pay your monthly bills. Most people have a problem with this and they should, why should you rely on someone else to make your payments and they can make your situation worse by not paying the money you gave them. If you are unable to make your monthly consolidation loan payment besides having your wages garnished you can also have a lien placed against your home and you could possible end up losing your home. So in short most people would like debt relief and would like to pay a lesser than amount owed on their cards and become debt free in as little as 15-48 months instead of 5-8 years.

Debt management
Just like with bankruptcy or debt consolidation when you enroll into a debt management program you will be required to pay off your entire debt in full, some consumers believe they do not receive the full debt relief that they deserve. When enrolling in this type of program the company you enroll with needs to be a reputable legitimate company that does have your best interest in mind. You need to take into account that signing up with a debt management program that you are entrusting your finances to another company meaning that you are putting your trust in them to pay your monthly obligations. If a payment is missed your credit will be affected and your creditors will be calling you. While this is the ideal situation for some people not many others like the fact that someone else is relied upon to make your payment each month. Some consumers may view this as a great solution to their problems. There are several factors in determining if you should enter into debt management, if you have several bills and cannot manage them yourself, if you are in a financial crisis and you want to have debt relief, also if you would like to stop receiving collection calls, lastly if you would like to try and get a lower interest rate on your bills each month. When enrolling into debt management you must determine that you are enrolling with a company that has your best interests in mind you need to look at the company background, testimonials and also view the company profile. Once you have done these things you can make an accurate judgment on who you would like to go with or if you would even like to enroll in this type of program. The company that you try and enroll with will try and work out a repayment plan with your creditors in order for you to receive lower monthly payments and become debt free. There are several guidelines that you should follow while you are in a debt management program.
- You should really only accept a payment plan that you can actually afford, if you cannot afford the payment plan that you are given do not enter the program.
- The debt management program needs to be approved by your creditors before you sign up in this program.
- You should get everything that you are told by the debt management program in writing.
- Continue to make your payments to your creditors; while you are in the program continue to make your regular payments.
- Make sure that your payments are being made to your creditors on time and the debt management company is not sending them in late.
- Make sure that when you sign up that all of your personal information is kept private and that you have a written privacy policy stating this fact.
- View the fees that are charged with debt management. Some companies charge enrollment, application and consultation fees. Make sure that you are not paying unnecessary fees.
