Term Settlements

July 16, 2008 · Print This Article

Oftentimes, Provanta Debt Settlement negotiators are able to reach a settlement on an account with term payments.  Mostly, these types of settlements are paid in four months or less.

Recently, more so than before, agents are making settlement offers and extending the offer out to as many as sixteen payments.  Less than a year ago it was difficult — but possible — to get an agent to extend an settlement out four months.  Now they’re offering six, twelve and as much as sixteen month arrangements.  While this shows us the agents have came to terms with the benefit of debt settlement, this is not particularly beneficial to our clients. The future is unpredictable, and to make a commitment that extends out more than four months is setting our clients up for failure.  The gesture is appreciated, but not particularly useful — though it does come with a general flexibility that’s far easier to work with.
