Unlocking the Power of Debt Settlement
Debt Settlement, a rapidly growing debt resolution trend, has demonstrated its effectiveness as a bankruptcy alternative. Primarily targeting unsecured creditors – including credit cards, medical bills, and various collection accounts – Debt Settlement has proved its mettle.
Illustrative Debt Settlement Scenario:
Debts Credit Card #1 – Original Debt: $10,000, Settled Amount: $5,000 Credit Card #2 – Original Debt: $10,000, Settled Amount: $6,000 Collection Account – Original Debt: $15,000, Settled Amount: $9,000. In this hypothetical, the total savings amount to a substantial $15,000.00!
Effective Lump Sum Payment Strategies
Debt Settlement thrives when paired with a lump sum payment to creditors. Funding this payment can be achieved through various means, including:
- Retirement Plan Loans: Drawing from retirement plans (e.g., 401k) to initiate a lump sum payment. Repayment occurs over time, preserving tax-deferred appreciation.
- Home Equity Lines of Credit: Leveraging home equity to settle unsecured debts at a fraction of the total owed, all while capitalizing on property appreciation.
