If you’re current on your bills, but you’re looking to reduce your monthly payments and get out of debt quick, a debt consolidation program would be the best option for you. With a debt consolidation program, the debt consolidation company will be able to negotiate with your lenders and creditors to try to reduce your monthly payments and develop a structured repayment plan that will enable you pay off your debt much faster. Another benefit of a debt consolidation program is that you’ll be able to sustain or even increase your credit score. With the program, you make 1 payment to your debt consolidation company, and they in turn pay your lenders directly. Because debt specialists are able to negotiate better rates, they can often lower your overall monthly payment amount while being able to pay off your debt sooner. Most debt consolidation programs last between 12 to 36 months depending on your debt amount and how much you can afford to pay each month. A small negative is that most plans have maintenance fee of $30 to $50 per month; however, even with the maintenance fee, you still may end up paying a lot less than you would have if you didn’t consolidate. Plus the biggest benefit is being able to get out of debt fast.
Behind on your payments, but want to pay off your debt
If you’re behind on your debts, there is a good chance that collection agencies have started to constantly call you. This is a huge nuisance that is stopped immediately when you join a debt settlement program. When you enroll, the debt settlement company contacts all lenders to let them know you’ve enrolled in their program. This usually stops the collection calls. Another advantage of debt settlement program is that you can settle the debt with your creditors for a much less than what you owe. The way a debt settlement works is that you actually stop paying your lenders and make 1 payment each month to the debt settlement agency. The company saves the money in an account for 12 to 24 months, then they try to negotiate with your creditors to settle the debt for less than what you owe. You could save as much as 40%-60% by going through a debt settlement program. One setback is that your credit score will likely be lowered while in the program because you’ve stopped paying your creditors; however, if you’re behind on your payments, you credit has already been affected.
