In most cases, if somebody have bad credit and they manage to get a personal loan, it’s part of a debt settlement program. This program will help you negotiate the unsecured part of your loan and, in the end, you will only be paying part of the debt. Your debt will normally go down 40-60% from the original amount.
In this situation, the debt service company will consider your individual case and arrange a low, manageable monthly payment that suits you. Depending on how much you can pay each month, they will figure out exactly how long you will be paying, and when you are finished, you’re debt free! And, the best part is that the debt company will deal with your creditors so you won’t have any more phone calls and other harassment from them.
When you first start the program, the company will contact all of your creditors and let them know that you have started the program and that they will be representing you from now on. It usually takes a little while for the company to reach a settlement with the creditors. Once all the negotiating with creditors is done, the company will talk to you about it. When you’re happy and comfortable with the arrangement that has been made, they will get the entire thing in writing. Then, they will start working on the best way to send funds to the creditor.
When all this is done, your relationship with the creditor is finished. They are off your back, and you are no longer in debt to them. The debt service companies are committed to helping you get debt free. They understand how easy it is to get into debt like this. You are their client, and it is their intention to get you debt free.
Keep in mind that the debt service companies work for you, not for the creditors. They are on your side. Your debt freedom is what they want to achieve. Getting out from under all that debt is your first step to financial security.
