The owners of Nationwide Debt Settlement would like to pass on information about debt settlement.
Bankruptcy does not have to be the only option. If a consumer files bankruptcy the debt may or may not be totally eliminated depending upon what type of debt it is and what type of
bankruptcy case is filed (Chapter 13 or 7). One main thing about bankruptcy is that it will follow a person until it is removed from the credit report in 7-10 years. The other is that
this is a negative that can be avoided. No matter what else is said, it is always better to pay what one can rather than to walk away. Sometimes there is a simpler answer and debt
settlement may be it.
Positive things to look for are:
1. The company is part of the BBB or Chamber of Commerce.
2. The negotiators are all Certified Debt Arbitrators.
3. The company honestly reveals that the program will create a temporary negative rating on the credit score and that some of the accounts may still go to collection or attorneys.
4. The company is licensed to do debt settlement or debt negotiation within the consumer'ss state.
Things to avoid:
1. A company that charges a service fee or has hidden fees.
2. A company that holds the saved funds in an escrow or trust account.
3. When the time comes to pay a settlement, that company pays the credit card company directly.
