What is Debt Settlement?
Debt settlement is a process where a borrower negotiates with their creditors to pay off a portion of their outstanding debt in a lump sum payment or a series of payments. This typically involves working with a debt settlement company or attorney who will negotiate on behalf of the borrower to try to reach an agreement with the creditors.
The goal of debt settlement is to reduce the total amount owed and to make it more manageable for the borrower to pay off their debts. Debt settlement can be a more affordable alternative to bankruptcy and can help individuals become debt-free in a shorter amount of time.
