Debt relief can help some people, but it isn't right for everyone. Please read these before deciding.
Important risks
- Your credit may be affected. Debt relief programs can have a negative effect on your credit, especially if accounts become delinquent during the program.
- Creditors don't have to negotiate. Creditors are not required to participate or to accept a reduced amount. Some may not.
- Collection activity may continue. Creditors and collectors may keep contacting you, and interest, late fees and penalties may continue to accrue.
- Lawsuits are possible. A creditor may sue to collect a debt, which can lead to judgments, garnishment or other remedies allowed by law.
- Results aren't guaranteed. Not every debt is resolved, and no specific savings, settlement or timeline can be promised.
- Taxes may apply. Forgiven debt may be considered taxable income. Consult a tax professional about your situation.
- Stopping payments has consequences. Stopping payments to creditors can lead to late fees, collections and credit damage. Understand this fully before deciding.
Eligibility
Eligibility varies. Not every debt or creditor may qualify. Secured debts, federal student loans and most tax debts are generally not eligible.
