The debt settlement plan is that, for less than the actual amount owed, the loaned amounts are marked as paid in full, in an agreement of the debt settlement process between the debtor and the creditor(s). The debt settlement program guides you to deposit money into a dedicated account (that you open up for this purpose with the guidance of your debt settlement agency), so you can accumulate enough funds to settle your debts instead of struggling to come up with payments for each of your creditors every month. You are in full control of this dedicated account at all times and the monthly deposits you make into it are usually of a lesser, more comfortable amount than the pre-enrollment amount you were shelling out to your creditors on a monthly basis before you joined your debt settlement program. The creditor decides to agree to settle the debt when they become privy to the default status of the debtor’s accounts – not before. The moment you join a debt settlement program, any taxes owed on the amount you settle are forgiven. Your debt amount will increase as you are depositing every month into your dedicated account to save sufficient funds to eventually pay off the enrolled debts in full, but for a lesser amount than was negotiated by your debt settlement agency negotiated with the creditors. It is always with your approval first that your debt settlement agency makes all of this happen for you. They guide you through the entire debt settlement process, advising you, managing everything, and negotiating with your creditors. They save you so much time and money as they convince your creditors to settle for less. Yes, for an amount that’s much smaller than you owe, your debt is paid off in full, thanks to the determination and negotiations with the creditors of your debt settlement agency; they never forsake you until you’re completely free as a bird after all the unsecured debt enrolled in your debt settlement program have been answered for. It is with tooth and nail that Start New Financial fights for your best financial interests. Once your dedicated account has enough money in it to settle a debt, your debt settlement agency settles it; and until you’re completely free of all debt that’s enrolled in your debt settlement program, the process continues and is repeated. The reasonable fee your debt settlement agency gets for every debt settled by them always comes AFTER they settle it for you (not before!), and they help cease any collection and harassment calls to you from creditors.
On a final note, a debt settlement program is different from debt consolidation or debt management programs and these concepts should not be confused with each other. With the proper guidance from a great debt settlement agency like Start New Financial, you will lead a debt-free financial life of peace when you graduate from your debt settlement program.
