Debt Settlement Consequences and Your Options

When faced with having to make the decision about debt consolidation and debt settlement services there are plenty of options and consequences to consider that can make the difference between getting out of debt and getting further into debt. Debt settlement is by far the fastest way to eliminate your debt but can also have consequences if you run into circumstances that you cannot control. Our debt settlement program is designed to reduce your debt and lower your monthly payments but the risks associated with the program should be considered prior to enrollment with Everest Debt Solutions.

The following are all examples of debt settlement consequences.

Debt settlement and debt negotiation will have an effect on your credit while you are in the process of settling your debts with your creditors. Everest Debt Solutions is not a credit repair company although we try our best to make sure that you as the client have your needs taken care of to the best of our ability. During the debt settlement program it is most likely that the creditors will report to the credit bureaus that you are past due on your accounts. This can cause your credit score to decrease and affect your payment histories however by paying down your debts with a debt settlement program your over all debt to income ratio will decrease hence helping you to rebuild your credit.

In addition to your credit being affected another potential debt settlement consequence is the risk of possible legal action from the creditors to collect on debts that you are trying to settle. Just as you as the client retained a debt settlement company like Everest Debt Solutions in some cases creditors will retain a 3rd party collection agency to not only help them collect as much of the debt as possible but also to avoid additionally losses from clients with hardship situations. Sometimes creditors will use a law firm to collect debt or try and collect a judgment for the account. Our experience has shown that most creditors would rather avoid these scenarios all together and work with us to come to negotiate a reasonable settlement on our client accounts. Throughout the years some creditors have enacted policies that dictate their continued confidence towards working exclusively with debt settlement companies to help them collect a larger portion of past due accounts than by selling off the debts to a 3rd party.
