We work with you to understand your financial situation, identify eligible accounts, and develop a personalized strategy focused on helping you move toward resolving your debt.

What Is Debt Settlement?

Debt settlement is a debt resolution strategy in which an attempt is made to negotiate with a creditor or debt collector to accept an agreed-upon amount to resolve an eligible debt.

Instead of continuing to struggle with growing balances and multiple accounts, debt settlement may provide qualified consumers with another potential path toward resolving certain unsecured debts.

Every creditor and financial situation is different. Settlement amounts, timing, creditor participation, and results cannot be guaranteed.


What Types of Debt May Qualify?

Debt settlement is generally designed for certain types of unsecured debt, which may include:

  • Credit card debt
  • Personal loans
  • Medical debt
  • Certain collection accounts
  • Some private unsecured loans
  • Certain charged-off accounts
  • Other qualifying unsecured debts

Secured debts such as mortgages and auto loans generally require different solutions. Certain government-backed obligations, taxes, and student loans may also require specialized assistance.

Our team can review your accounts and help determine which debts may be appropriate for settlement.

How Our Debt Settlement Process Works

1. Free Debt Consultation

We begin by reviewing your current debts, balances, monthly obligations, and overall financial circumstances.

Our goal is to understand where you are today before discussing potential options.

2. Personalized Debt Analysis

Not every debt should be handled the same way.

We evaluate your eligible accounts and discuss whether debt settlement may be an appropriate option based on your financial situation.

3. Build Your Resolution Strategy

If you decide to move forward, you’ll receive a strategy based on your eligible debts and financial circumstances.

We’ll explain the process, potential costs, risks, and expectations so you can make an informed decision.

4. Settlement Negotiations

When appropriate, attempts can be made to negotiate eligible accounts with participating creditors or collectors.

Any proposed settlement should be reviewed and approved before payment is made.

5. Resolve Accounts & Move Forward

As agreements are reached and completed, you can begin resolving eligible debts one account at a time and working toward your larger financial goals.


Why Consider Debt Settlement?

For consumers experiencing significant financial hardship, continuing to make minimum payments may not always provide a realistic path out of debt.

Debt settlement may be worth exploring if you:

  • Have significant unsecured debt
  • Are struggling to keep up with monthly payments
  • Have fallen behind or expect to fall behind
  • Are dealing with collection accounts
  • Are experiencing financial hardship
  • Want to understand alternatives to continuing minimum payments
  • Are looking for a structured strategy for addressing eligible debts

Debt settlement isn’t right for everyone. That’s why the first step should be understanding your financial situation and comparing the available options.


Debt Settlement vs. Debt Consolidation

Although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, debt settlement and debt consolidation are different strategies.

Debt Settlement

Debt settlement involves attempting to negotiate eligible debts so that a creditor accepts an agreed-upon amount to resolve an account. It does not require taking out a new consolidation loan.

Debt Consolidation

Debt consolidation generally involves combining multiple debts into a new loan or credit product. You still owe the debt, but you’re attempting to simplify repayment or obtain different repayment terms.

The best approach depends on your credit profile, income, debt level, financial hardship, and ability to make payments.


More Than Debt Relief — Build a Stronger Financial Future

Resolving debt is only part of the journey.

Our goal is to help consumers better understand their financial position so they can make informed decisions about what comes next.

Depending on the services available to you, your financial strategy may include education around:

  • Understanding your credit profile
  • Managing revolving debt
  • Creating a realistic household budget
  • Establishing emergency savings
  • Developing healthier credit habits
  • Reducing future reliance on high-interest debt
  • Preparing for future financial goals

The objective isn’t simply to address yesterday’s debt.

It’s to help you create a better financial strategy for tomorrow.


Frequently Asked Questions

Can you guarantee how much my debt will be reduced?

No. Every creditor, account, and consumer situation is different. No specific settlement amount or percentage of savings can be guaranteed.

Will every creditor agree to settle?

No. Creditors are not required to participate in debt settlement or accept a proposed settlement.

Does debt settlement affect my credit?

It can. Missed payments, delinquent accounts, charge-offs, collections, and settled accounts can negatively affect your credit history and scores. Consumers should understand the potential credit consequences before choosing debt settlement.

How long does debt settlement take?

There is no guaranteed timeline. The time required depends on factors including the number of accounts involved, creditor participation, account balances, and the consumer’s ability to fund settlements.

Can creditors or collectors continue contacting me?

Debt settlement does not automatically stop collection activity. Depending on the circumstances, creditors or collectors may continue collection efforts and could pursue legal remedies.

Do I have to accept a settlement?

You should understand and approve the terms of a proposed settlement before proceeding with it.

Can forgiven debt affect my taxes?

Potentially. In some circumstances, canceled or forgiven debt may be treated as taxable income. Consumers should speak with a qualified tax professional regarding their individual situation.

Is debt settlement right for everyone?

No. Alternatives may include working directly with creditors, nonprofit credit counseling, a debt management plan, consolidation, or consulting a bankruptcy attorney. The appropriate solution depends on your individual financial circumstances.

Important Consumer Disclosure

Debt settlement is not appropriate for every consumer, and results vary based on individual circumstances and creditor participation. Creditors are not required to negotiate or accept settlement offers, and no specific settlement amount, savings percentage, credit-score improvement, or completion timeline can be guaranteed.

Depending on the strategy used, debt settlement may negatively affect your credit and may involve continued collection activity, additional interest or fees, and potential legal action by creditors or debt collectors. Forgiven debt may also have tax consequences.

Consumers should carefully review all program terms, fees, risks, and alternatives before enrolling. Consider speaking directly with creditors, a nonprofit credit counselor, a qualified tax professional, or an attorney when appropriate.

Debt settlement services are not a substitute for legal, tax, or financial advice.
