Available Options For Debt Reduction – Negotiating With Your Creditors
The first step is to consider all of your options for getting out of debt. Before I settled on negotiating my own debt, I had to consider whether it was feasible to just pay my creditors, approach a debt settlement specialist, or declare bankruptcy.
So what are the options to get out of debt?
Negotiating With Your Creditors
This option is my option and it’s an option that few people know that they have. When most people receive a phone call from a creditor or worse, a debt collection agent, they go weak in the knees and hang up. They run to bankruptcy court or to a debt relief counselor, dodge those calls and look frantically for the fastest way out.
The reason I decided to negotiate my way out of debt rather than try any of these options has to do with my situation. First of all, I knew I definitely did not have the money to pay my creditors.
I still had a family to support on my income so there was no way to manage those expenses and the strain of having to make monthly payments to creditors.
Having a debt settlement specialist take on my case was a more attractive idea than the going-it alone option, but there were a few sticks in the cogs on that one too. I couldn’t afford to be paying thousands, even a few hundred dollars a month for the next ten years. Besides, I thought I might be able to do better than the 40% that they advertise by doing something on my own.
