Settle Your Debts
What Is Debt Settlement?
Debt settlement is a process of negotiation with your unsecured creditors to convince them to give up their demands for the full repayment of your debts and instead to accept a lesser amount, relieving you of all obligation for further repayment once you have paid the lesser amount negotiated.
A separate negotiation is required for each of your creditors. The amount repaid and the time required to complete a debt settlement program depends upon many factors such as what you owe to whom, the amount of your payment delinquencies, your financial circumstances, the amount you can set aside monthly to fund negotiated settlements, your financial hardship, etc.

Why Will Creditors Accept Less Than The Full Amount Due?
Creditors accept less than 100 cents on the dollar in settling debts when they conclude it is better for them to receive the lesser settlement amount now than to continue collection efforts in the uncertain hope of receiving more at some indeterminate time in the future, when any additional amount collected might easily have been consumed by legal and collection costs along the way.
While they try to avoid such losses, they view them as a cost of doing business. They know that maximizing their profits in a competitive marketplace means taking risks, which inevitably means some customers will be unable to repay the full amount due.
