One of the first questions that people ask before opting for debt settlement is how it will affect their credit rating.
The answer is fairly simple – at first, there will be an adverse affect on your credit as you wait to pay your bills, but as funds start to accumulate in your bank account with our firm, then we start negotiating settlements with your creditors. When the settlement is reached it will appear on your credit report as “settled.” Because you must first prove the need for debt settlement by letting your accounts become delinquent, this will leave a negative mark on your credit report initially. However, once the settlement agreement is reached; it will appear on your credit report and show that your debt has been paid.
A recent study by the National Economic Research Association showed that debt negotiation does affect credit scores at first, but once debts begin to be settled, it increases a person’s ability to take on new debt in the future and rebuild their credit score. One of the many benefits of debt settlement is that once a debt is settled, the debt amount is no longer taken into consideration when assessing your debt to income ratio, which also helps to boost your credit score.
It’s important to keep a good credit rating because having good credit is essential to purchasing a home or car, renting an apartment, getting utilities or credit cards. Some employers even check your credit report before hiring you for a job. So it’s good to let everyone know that you pay your debts without opting for bankruptcy.
Overall, debt settlement is a much better option than bankruptcy; since bankruptcy will stay on your credit report for up to 10 years. You can lower your debt balances and set up a manageable payment plan all at the same time, and the creditor is happier than if you’d filed bankruptcy because with debt settlement they can recoup some of the money owed to them, even if less than the original debt amount.
So if you’re feeling debt strapped and that there’s no way out from the burden of debt, think again. Debt settlement is a real and viable option to help improve your family’s financial standing.
