What Is Debt Settlement?

Debt settlement is a strategic financial solution to help individuals reduce their outstanding debts. We do it by negotiating with creditors and accepting the lump sum payment that is less than the total amount owed. This approach can significantly lower your interest rate, allowing you to settle your accounts for a fraction of the original balance.

Debt Settlement Risks

Debt settlement is an effective way to reduce and manage your debt, but it is essential to be aware of the potential risks involved. At Debt Free Life Inc., we believe in full transparency and want you to make an informed decision. Here are some of the key risks associated with debt settlement:

  • Fees: Many agencies charge fees for the settlement services, which can be substantial and may add to your financial burden.
  • Impact on your Credit Score: Debt settlement sometimes necessitates discontinuing payments on your obligations, which results in late payments and defaults since it entails negotiating with creditors to take less than the entire amount owed.
  • Tax Implications: The IRS views forgiven debt as taxable income, which means that any amount of debt forgiven through settlement may be subject to taxes. This could result in an unexpected tax bill, adding another layer of financial complexity to your situation.

How Does Debt Settlement Work?

Our debt settlement process involves a series of carefully structured steps. Our structured plan for debt settlement usually looks like this:

 

  • You pay the debt settlement business, not your creditors.
  • Your money is held by the settlement agency while your obligations are outstanding.
  • Your obligations ultimately become overdue and are written off by the creditor.
  • Either an internal collections department or a third-party debt collector purchases the charged-off debt.
  • In an effort to lower the total amount you owe, the debt settlement organization utilizes the money they have collected from you to negotiate a partial payback (or settlement) of the debt.
