Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What's the difference between Debt Settlement and Debt Consolidation?

Debt settlement reduces your balance. Your debt is negotiated down, and you pay less than you owe. The creditor forgives the remaining balance in a transaction called a settlement. Debt consolidation combines all of your debt into one loan with a single monthly payment, often at a reduced rate of interest. This typically requires a higher credit score for approval.

How will I know which is right for me?

A dedicated debt expert will let you know all your options and the advantages of each – which will help you decide what's best for you.

Will your program impact my credit score?
