Is Debt Negotiation Bad? Points To Consider
Debt negotiation companies that claim they can wipe your credit
clean or guarantee they can reduce your debt are bad because
they can't deliver. But reputable companies can negotiate with
your creditors, often reducing your debt 10% to 50%. They can
also help you rebuild your credit score by reducing debt and
getting a handle on your monthly payments.
Claims That Are Too Good
Companies claiming that debt negotiation has no impact on your
credit score or that they can remove negative scores are lying.
Creditors will report accounts that have been reduced, and it
will stay on your credit history for seven years. All other
negative scores, such as late or missed payments, will also be
on your record for seven years even if accounts are closed.
Guarantees that your all your debts can be reduced should also
be avoided. Creditors have no requirement to negotiate with you
or a debt negotiation company. But if creditors see that you are
struggling with payments, they may lower your debt to recoup at
least some payment from you. With bankruptcy, lenders may never
see repayment.
Promises You Can Believe
Reputable debt negotiation companies
can reduce your debt. They
are skilled at bargaining with creditors. While they can't
guarantee every account will be reduced, they can make a
significant impact.
Your credit score can be raised after your debts have been
reduced if you manage your credit wisely. Regular payments,
reduced debts, and cash reserves will soon make you eligible for
loans. When your credit rating is poor, you can use a subprime
lender. In some cases though, within two years you can qualify
with for a conventional loan.
Warning Signs To Watch For
Avoid companies that make extreme claims or charge high up front
fees. Also, skip companies that advise you to stop payments on
your accounts. Not only will you rack up late fees, but you will
further hurt your credit score.
Debt negotiations are a valuable tool to avoid bankruptcy. While
such reduced debt will lower your credit score, you can soon be
on your way to better credit. Be sure to research companies
before you sign up and you'll protect yourself from scams.
