3 Main Steps In Debt Settlement
Author : J.J. Yong
Facing your own debt is a challenging task. You need to make sure that you are emotionally ready to face the pressure in life, especially when you have facing difficulty in paying off your outstanding balances. In order to eliminate them, you are advised to negotiate with your creditors for debt reduction.
Basically there are 3 main steps involved in the negotiation process.
Step 1:
Prepare yourself
There are some major preparations you need to do before you start your conversation with your creditors. First of all, you must know your rights and obligations as a consumer. Get all the related documents ready before you make any proposal. For instance, you need to get your loan agreement and your monthly statement on hand before negotiating. The most important is you must know your total debt amount, the interest rates and the term of repayment.
Step 2:
Start contacting your creditors and make your deal
Make a call to your creditors and indicate that you would like to request for settlement due to certain financial constraint. Stay calm and talk politely. At the same time, you are reminded to be straightforward and firm. Convey your messages to your creditors that you would like to have certain percentage of your debt forgiven. Establishing good relationship with your creditors is a must.
Step 3:
Close the deal and settle your debt
After you have completed the verbal negotiation process, you are reminded to get a written agreement from your creditors that they agree to accept your settlement proposal. You must not make any payment as long as you haven't got any new agreement from your creditors.
The whole settlement process is considered completed when you have made your payment and your credit file shows that your debt is "paid".
