Debt Negotiation Services We Offer

When a debtor owes a significant amount of unsecured debt, debt negotiation is an option to consider. This process involves negotiating with creditors to reduce or eliminate debt. Although you are not required to work with an attorney, it is highly recommended that you involve a legal professional to conduct these negotiations.

Debt Settlement

Settling your debts involves agreeing with your creditors to repay a percentage of your debts, rather than the entire amount. Unsecured debts, such as credit cards and medical bills, are eligible for debt settlement.

You may not think your creditors will agree to a debt settlement. However, creditors often prefer settlement over a debtor being forced into bankruptcy. In particular, Chapter 7 bankruptcy often means creditors lose out on all money you owe. With a debt settlement, creditor will still be able to get some portion of your debts to them.

Debt Consolidation

With a debt consolidation, you can merge many of your smaller debts into one large loan. Having this one loan can result in better payment terms as well as reduce late penalties. Additionally, it may be easier for you to keep track of and repay the one loan.

Loan Modification

Also known as a mortgage modification, a loan modification allows you to modify your home loan for more affordable payments. Through a modification, you can save your home from foreclosure while potentially saving money. You can reduce your balance, get payment extensions, lower your interest rate, and more.

Tax Debt Negotiation

If you have debts to the IRS, it is possible to negotiate this tax debt. You may qualify for an Offer in Compromise, allowing you to pay less than what you actually owe. Other tax negotiation options include IRS Installment Agreements and Innocent Spouse Relief.

What is Debt Relief vs. Debt Negotiation

Under most circumstances, you should avoid negotiating a settlement with your creditor. Bankruptcy is often a wiser option to avoid taking money from your savings, retirement, and 401k accounts. Instead, your credit card and other expenses can be dismissed without having to drain your savings. Debt negotiation is typically recommended in situations where a debtor owes a great deal of unsecured debt, such as credit cards or personal loans, when bankruptcy is too aggressive an action.

Our experienced lawyer possesses vast knowledge and insight on these topics and can provide accurate advice to determine the right approach based upon your particular situation. Not only that, we have the resources necessary to conduct more effective negotiations or even to take a case to court if necessary, such as in instances involving unlawful creditor harassment.
