Understanding how we got into this problem and finding ways to resolve the problem is the first step in giving you a piece of mind.
There are basically two types of debt -unsecured (i.e., credit cards, medical bills) and secured (i.e. mortgage, auto, RV and boat loans). The debt which causes us the most problem is the unsecured debt on your credit cards.
The credit cards were flexible and easy to use for everyday expenses. But something happened along the way, I started just paying the monthly minimum and my balances continued to grow. The interest rate and fees increased on your credit card. That is no longer acceptable because you are drowning in debt.
Do you have more than $5,000 in credit card debt on more than 3 credit cards and live in California? One of your options is to consider debt settlement negotiations.
Why select debt settlement negotiations as an option to dig yourself out of debt. You are not looking to file bankruptcy or run away from your obligations. You just want to pay your bills but the combined monthly minimum payment are brutal! You want assistance from your credit card company but they are not willing to be flexible with or lower your monthly interest rate.

The way for debt negotiation to be successfully is the consumer faithfully following the plan. The financial plan may take as little as 12 months or more than 48 months depending on your outstanding unsecured debt position.
