 If you are struggling with credit card debt, whether it be large or small, you need to take advantage of our program and settle now! This current economic recession has left millions of Americans, like yourself, with massive amounts of credit card debt. Trust me, you are  certainly not alone.

Is debt settlement right for you - yes if you're balance is $10,000 and your accountsare mostly past due or about.

Is debt settlement right for you? - yes if you have unsecured debts and youdon't have to file bankruptcy or you don't want to file bankruptcy for them.

A question: Is debt settlement right for you even if your debt is not $10,000 but lower andyour accounts are not all past due - just some - are just about to default? - Willdebt settlement companies take you in?

I think they will still enroll the consumer - and anyway - he/she is going to beadvised to stop all payments until the account charges off. Negotiations are moresuccessful when the accounts are with a third party collection agency (to whomthe original creditors have assigned the accounts to).

Why is that so? And what happens to the credit?

The original creditors would, understandably, want to collect on the full amountrather than less than the full amount - so if the account is still with them (the IRSdictates that they write off a debt that's unpaid for 5-6 months straight) it is unlikelythat they'd settle. Although not impossible as if the consumer has at least 75% ofthe balance ready to hand over to the creditors - they might just agree to settle.

Re: And what happens to the credit? -- if you are already consideringdebt settlement, then your credit must already be in a pretty bad shape -as delayed payments/non-payments affect the credit score. To get a better picture, here is the breakdown of your FICO score. (the underlinedsegments are the ones affected negatively by your debts and they're alsothe ones that are to improve once you're done with the program) ::::-35% Payment History/- 30% Amount Owed/-15% Length of Credit History/-10% New Credit/-10% Types of Credit Used
