& Save

Consolidate Your Debts and Save

If you need to get relief from multiple high interest credit cards or other unsecured debts – such as medical bills, store charge cards, gas cards, or more – a debt consolidation program may be able to help you get out of debt much faster. This could, not only help to reduce stress, but also save you a substantial amount of money.

Debt consolidation programs, also known as debt management plans (or DMPs), are typically coordinated through a credit or debt counselor who will take the time to go over your current financial situation, look at your unsecured debts, look at how much you can afford to pay each month toward your debts, then submit proposals to creditors on your behalf requesting relief.

Overall, the goal of a debt consolidation program is to provide you with a proven and predicable way to combine or "consolidate" all your debts into a single payment each month by providing a personalized plan that, if followed each month, can help you get out of debt at an accelerated rate.

Debt consolidation could help you:

• Reduce Your Interest Rates
• Lower Monthly Payments
• Remove Late Fees and Penalties
• Simplify Your Life with One Payment
• Help You Get Out of Debt Faster

Resolve Credit Cards for Less?

Resolve Credit Card Debts for Less?

If you have one or more high-balance credit card debts and need to "resolve" your debt for less than you owe – a credit card debt resolution program could save a substantial amount of money.

When credit card companies decide to sell off their "bad debt" to debt collection agencies, it is not unusual for credit card companies to sell the debt for as little as ten cents on the dollar. This is not to say that credit card companies will agree to "resolve" credit card debt for as little as ten percent of the amount owed, but it stands to reason that credit card companies are often willing to accept a reasonable offer from consumers in distress who offer to pay what they can afford.

A personalized debt relief analysis can provide a savings estimate for credit card resolution. How much debt resolution could save depends largely on the amount of credit card debt involved, the debtor's current financial situation – and the resolution policies of individual creditors.

Debt Collections - Protect Yourself and Know Your Rights!

Across America, consumers going through financial hardship are being contacted, and often harassed, by debt collectors or debt collection agencies. While there is state and federal law (The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act) that regulates what collectors can, and cannot do, many aggressive and unethical collection agencies pressure consumers excessively. In some cases, individuals are called at work, or at home after hours. Or, debtors may receive collection letters that threaten arrest or legal action.

Standing Up to Debt Collectors - See if You Qualify for Relief

The good news, if you are being subject to threatening letters, phone calls, or overly aggressive or illegal action on the part of debt collectors -- there are a variety of legal debt relief options available. To find out what debt relief options are available to you, and protect your rights against debt collectors, take a moment to request your free debt analysis and savings estimate.

Getting Help When Debt Collectors Use Illegal Tactics

Some predatory debt collectors may even locate friends, family members (other than a spouse), or neighbors and discuss the debt matter in an effort to embarrass the individual in debt. With few exceptions, all of these are illegal tactics used by debt collectors.

The fact is - many debt collectors, in an attempt to collect on credit cards and other debts often are in violation of federal (and state) laws that govern how debt collectors and collection agencies may conduct their business.

In almost all cases, debt collectors are pursuing consumers to collect unsecured debt. Debt that the collection agency has "purchased" from credit card companies or other creditors for a fraction of the outstanding debt. As a result, despite the threats and aggressive (and illegal collection tactics) debt collectors will often agree to settle debt for much less than the original amount owed.
