How long will it take to settle my debts? The time
required to settle all your debts depends upon your specific
financial situation. One of our Debt Specialists can provide you
an estimate during your free consultation. Typically, clients are
able to settle all their debts within three years.
- What are the fees for your service, and when are they due?
We offer a consultation. If you participate in our Debt
Settlement Program, fees will be assessed according to the
specifics of your financial situation. We work with you to provide
a manageable payment schedule. During your free consultation, a
Debt Specialist will provide you detailed information on both
services and fees. Keep in mind that out clients typically are
able to reduce their debt 40-60%.
-
Can I use Debt Settlement for ALL
of my debts? You may use Debt Settlement for the
settlement of UNSECURED DEBT. Unsecured debt could be debt arising
from credit cards, personal loans and signature loans. Medical
bills that are in collection status may also be reduced. Debt
Settlement cannot be used with secured debt, such as home, auto
loans, jewelry, furniture, student loans and utility
bills.
- Can my creditors still contact me if I am in a Debt
Settlement Program?
Immediately upon representation, Exodus Debt Solutions will contact your creditors (in
addition to any involved collection agencies and attorneys) and
advise them to direct all collection efforts to us law firm, and
to cease all communication with you. If you receive further calls,
you should refer them to our Client Services Department who will
handle the situation and advise the creditor once again to cease
communication with you.
- Why shouldn't I just file bankruptcy?
Many people
faced with financial hardship rush to bankruptcy as a method of
resolving their debt concerns, although their problems might have
other solutions. We believe bankruptcy should ONLY be used as a
LAST RESORT; pursued ONLY after all other debt relief remedies
have been explored. A bankruptcy filing is a very detrimental
entry on your credit history, and can remain on your credit
reports from 7 to 10 years after the bankruptcy filling has been
discharged.
- How would a Debt Settlement Program affect my credit?
Part of our negotiation process is to request that
creditors reflect your accounts as having been paid or having been
settled, with zero balances. One assessment factor that creditors
use in evaluating an individual's or entities credit-worthiness is
their debt-to-income ratio: the amount of debt compared to income.
As a Debt Settlement Program reduces your debt, your
debt-to-income ratio will improve. Additionally, attempting to
resolve a debt through settlement is looked upon more favorably
than filing bankruptcy.
- How does Debt Settlement compare to Debt Consolidation and
Consumer Credit Counseling?
Under Debt Settlement we
negotiate with your creditors to settle your debt for amounts
significantly less than you owe; typically we can settle your
debts for 25-50% of your outstanding balances, saving you money on
debt principal AND interest, and providing you the opportunity to
pay-off your debt faster. Debt Consolidation involves pursuing a
NEW loan in an amount sufficient to pay-off all your existing
debts. One of the challenges with Debt Consolidation is that it
involves QUALIFYING for a NEW loan; generally it is difficult for
individuals already in debt, or for those who have poor credit, to
qualify for new loans. Additionally, under Debt Consolidation you
are still responsible for the entire amounts of all your existing
debts. Consumer Credit Counseling Agencies claim to be non-profit
agencies who, for an 8-15% fee paid by the lender, can sometimes
lengthen the term of your debt and so reduce some of your
interest; however, your outstanding debt principal is not reduced.
Additionally, this approach is typically a longer-term approach to
debt resolution, taking 5-12 years compared to Debt Settlement,
which can be completed in 3 years or less.
