Debt Settlement - Credit Card Negotiation, Part
2 - Do it Yourself?
Now you have determined that debt settlement is the best option for your financial situation and to finally finding some closure to your financial stress. You are going to need to be equipped with a detailed plan to get the best settlement possible for each credit card!
Many people have a sour taste for debt settlement programs and the simple reason for that is because they are famous for not working. Agencies and debt settlement attorneys will charge you a considerable fee when you are down at your lowest point, typically 15-25% of your credit card balance due.
E.g.: you owe $10k on credit card(1) and want to settle. Using a settlement company, attorneys or credit counseling they will typically take $2k, while the "do it yourself process costs you nothing just 180days of patience." In addition, that $2k will stay saved in your bank account to negotiate other credit cards down the road.
That $2k saving will help to negotiate another $5k-$6k credit balance that is due on another card(2). Can you see now how bad these companies are and how they make all this money? You do not need those agencies or attorneys because you can do this simply, on your very own, with basic tools to protect yourself.
* Now, why doing it by yourself like we did vs. hiring a debt management program or debt attorneys is the best option!
• For one thing, these programs charges 20 to 25% of the
original balance as a fee.
• They ask you to pay comfortable monthly payments for years
and only settle accounts, most of the time for only 50% or
more by the time you add their fees.
• Credit card companies have less patience dealing with
these institutions. They would rather deal directly with
their clients. So dealing with the expensive debt management
program has a negative effect and could back fire on you,
usually sending your account more quickly to collection
agencies that will pursue the accounts in a more aggressive
fashion than by doing it yourself.
So:
*Do you want to avoid bankruptcy?
*Do you want to rebuild your credit between 24 to 30months
from the settlement date at or before charge off vs. the
10years bankruptcy mark on your credit?
*Do you have more than $5k in credit card debt?
*Are you at the stress point financially? This is where my
husband and I were before starting our relief journey into
doing our own settlements.
*Do you want to finally find within 6-8months, a final
closure to your debt by negotiating the final amount owed
for only 50 to 20% of the original balance?
*Do you want to learn what needs to be done with the
negotiation process, what to say and when? How to protect
yourself with the right settlement letters and the right
wording to look for?
If all the above is a yes then,so it yourself like we did debt settlement is definitely for you Vs. Settlement programs!
