Insurance and Credit

The phone rings. You don’t pick it up, because you know that it’s going to be another debt collector. You’ve fallen behind – the mortgage, rent, credit cards. It doesn’t matter, you’re still under water for a lot of money and are looking for a way out.

The time to remedy this is before it reaches a collections agency. There are some very basic things you can do to keep your credit in good standing.

First and foremost, maintain a channel of communication. Contact your creditors (even the collections agencies) proactively and talk to them. Explain what’s going on in your life; the common perception that they’re heartless sharks isn’t close to reality. They want to get their money, yes. But they’re worried that you’ll vanish down a rabbit hole leaving them with an uncollectable debt as well.

Before you call, have a plan. Tally up all of your debts, all of your expenses in a month, including a general “oops” amount, and figure out how much you can really afford to pay. Paying down your debts takes some fiscal discipline; cut back on going to fast food restaurants and learn to cook more vegetables for meals are two surprisingly easy ways to cut back on expenses.

Unless you’re already at least three months behind on your payments, creditors aren’t going to be willing to negotiate a settlement with you; and since so far, you’ve been in good standing they have little incentive to do so. It’s not uncommon to make a late payment now and again and other than paying some late fees or interest payments, there’s really nothing else to it. Consumers typically return to making regular payments.

Fourth – talk to your creditors. Call them if you’re going to be late with a bill. Tell them about what’s going on, and demonstrate that you do consider your debts important. Most creditors live in fear of a person becoming noncommunicative and bailing out on the debt or filing bankruptcy. Most will be quite happy to extend a payment deadline by a week or two to help you out.

If you are dealing with a collection agency, have a copy of your credit report handy. Try to get the final disposition of the debt changed to “settled for less than the total outstanding balance” rather than “did not pay as agreed”. Even better, if you can work out a livable agreement, and pay it off, make sure to get your credit report again and get your creditors to report it as settled.

You might be able to take care of one or even a couple small debt negotiations by yourself – but if you have many delinquent accounts, it can be too much to juggle on your own. However, most people who are in such serious financial trouble that they’re considering debt negotiation have more than one past due account in need of settlement. If you only have one delinquent account, your creditor probably won’t be willing to settle since you’re keeping current with other accounts. Most of the time, professional help is the way to go to get a handle on your debts. A good debt management company is dedicated to helping consumers make wise choices and connect with the most appropriate debt solution to manage their debt.

In my years of experience in the industry, I have found that most people are looking for a debt relief option that does not exist. Here are the criteria they are usually requesting: – Pay off all accounts quickly – Not harm their credit – Not cause creditors to hound them with phone calls

The straight fact: That program does not exist!

What I have found over years of assisting clients out from under the burden of debt, is that most are initially seeking a program that does not exist. Let’s be clear, there is no debt management program in existence that will provide the above benefits. That being said, let’s talk about what options are available and in short summary; provide a basic understanding of each one.

Debt Consolidation: Debt consolidation loans are typically home equity loans or second mortgages. This is where you take the equity out of your home to pay off unsecured debts, and then just repay the equity loan with one payment, hopefully lower than the total min payments on all your unsecured debts. The upside is that you can trade in your high-interest unsecured debts for a lower-interest, single payment that can sometimes have a tax benefit. The downside is that most people who have a lot of unsecured debt will not qualify for a loan, or have any equity in their home.

Credit Counseling: Credit counseling companies have been getting a lot of trouble lately with consumer protection agencies. Most of them are non-profit and claim to lower your interest rates and provide a low monthly payment. Typically, they take your payment and distribute to pay each creditor a small payment. The good thing is well there is no good thing. Credit counseling programs hardly ever do what they claim, and many creditors no longer participate. Most have found this to be a serious waste of money and time. The bad thing is that your creditors will enter a statement onto your credit report for every account in credit couseling that states that the account is handled through a program. This is a seroius negative for anyone looking at your credit.

Debt Settlement: This has become, by far, the most popular and most effective program for getting out of debt in a short period of time. However, you must truly be in a financial hardship and not able to pay your current minimum payments. The idea here is to negotiate an accepted settlement of less than what is owed with each of your creditors. All creditors will accept settlements as long as you are far delinquent, and have shown valid reason. It seems that attorneys have been most effective in negotiations with creditors due to the fact they cannot be easily bullied by debt collectors. The positive is that you can completely pay off your accounts for a fraction of what is owed in a very short time-frame; usually 36 months or less. The negative is that your accounts must become very delinquent before creditors will accept settlements. This is not a problem if you are in a financial hardship; after all, you already have an inability to make your minimum payments.

Bankruptcy: It once was that anyone could file chapter 7 bankruptcy. In the post-bankruptcy reform era most people now don’t qualify for bankruptcy, and have no other alternative except the options outlined in this article. The good thing is that once a chapter 7 bankruptcy is fully discharged, the owed amounts are written off and will not pursued further. The bad thing is that it is that you will have a permanent public court record, and will also have a public record on your credit report for up to 10 years.

This information should provide you with foundation of knowledge that will allow you to select the best debt relief option for your specific financial circumstances.
