How To Apply For Debt Settlement Successfully

Author : J.J. Yong


         


Being in debt is indeed a real financial burden. The interests or finance charges on debt can significantly increase the total outstanding balance. In order to reduce this burden and get out of debt, debt settlement is one of the effective financial solutions you should consider.





Let me show you the systematic steps of applying this debt elimination method:





Step 1:


Stop making any payment to your creditor after you have decided to go for settlement.





Step 2:


Find out the total amount of your debts to see whether you are qualified for settlement. In general, only unsecured debts are eligible for debt reduction.





Step 3:


Start drafting a settlement letter to your creditor. If you are not sure how to put your requests in words, you are advised to look for samples of letters from the internet. In order to be more secured, you can ask a legal consultant to go through your letter first before sending it to your creditors. Bear in mind that the content of the letter must include your current financial situation, your proposed settlement amount and the date of making the payment. In your letter, don't forget to include your condition that your creditor must assist to remove all the negative entries after the settlement offer is accepted and payment is made.





Step 4:


Send the letter by registered mail.





Step 5:


Contact your creditor to make sure that the creditor has received your settlement offer. Do follow up calls to the creditor if you don't receive any reply from your creditor after 1 month.





Step 6:


If your creditor rejects your offer, write in again after 2 months to request for debt reduction.





Keep up your effort to negotiate with your creditor through written communication until you manage to get the agreement successfully.
