The Most Intelligent Way to Eliminate Personal Debt

Tired of feeling like you're living from paycheck to paycheck? Have interest charges driven your credit card balances so high, you feel like you'll never get out of debt? If so, you're not alone.

According to the nonprofit Consumer Counseling Service in Dallas, the average American family carried about $9,300 in credit-card debt in 2005. That's a 115 percent increase over the last 10 years.

Nobody plans to dig themselves into a financial hole, but once you're there, if you do nothing, the situation can only get worse. Make today the day you start looking into your options.

You may have already visited a credit counselor who advised you to consolidate your loans, but statistics show that about 70 percent of the people who make that move find themselves in even deeper debt within two years. Then there's the added stress of knowing that if you start missing payments, that you will have to start over from scratch.

For many people, the most intelligent and effective way to eliminate personal debt is through debt settlement, a legal process by which you reduce the overall amount of debt by negotiating agreed payoff amounts with your creditors. But how do you go about doing that?

"Sure you could try to reach a settle on your own, but we don't recommend it," says Jamie Greene of Debt Settlement of America Inc., a company that has helped hundreds of people out of financial difficulty over the past 7 years. "Creditors deal with thousands of people who are in financial trouble every day and have heard all the excuses. They have a vast array of sophisticated (and sometimes blunt) methods of intimidating you into financial arrangements you cannot keep. You need a debt negotiator on your side who can prevent things from getting even worse."

Once they get involved, negotiators from Debt Settlement of America, will help you come up with a plan, then contact your creditors on your behalf to begin negotiations. Counselors are typically able to negotiate debts down 60 percent. The entire process takes between 12 and 36 months depending on how much you can afford to pay each month.

Please be advised that since Debt Settlement of America does NOT charge any enrollment fees, thus it is difficult to get into their program. In our research, they are the ONLY Debt Settlement Company that does NOT charge these upfront fees.
