For those that must contend with enormous, mounting debt, the need for a reprieve from the situation will be significant. That is why so many people look towards debt settlement or elimination options. The concept of this process is relatively simple: a partial settlement offer is made on the remaining debt. The lender will find this concept attractive since if the borrower opts to file bankruptcy the lender will not receive pull payment. Of course, this is also an attractive offer for those in the borrowing position too since it aids in eliminating their debt problem…or does it? For some, debt settlement and elimination may not be right for them.
Not a Problem Solver
When you make a debt settlement payment, you will need to pay up to 60% of the full amount that is owed. For some, the ability to provide such a payment may prove sincerely difficult. For those individuals, there is another option and that involves working out a series of partial payments. For example, $4,000 could be broken down into four monthly payments of $1,000. This could prove to be a more feasible option for those that may be limited in their available finances.
Tax Implications
Others may not wish to deal with a payment settlement option due to the potential tax liability that may be involved. This would still certainly be less than the interest payments on the credit cards. This will be doubly true if the cards are high interest rate cards. Such cards are extremely problematic which makes settling them worthwhile despite tax issues associated with them.
Decision is Yours Alone
Probably the best way to make sure that settling your debt truly is for you. How can you determine this? It could be best to perform as much research as possible in the early stages. The more research that you perform, the more you can learn about the process. This way you can be sure that you are involved in something that truly does fit your needs.
Make the Right Choice
Settling a debt has many benefits but it also has a number of complexities. Understanding these complexities will help you determine whether it is truly right for you.
