Learn about the debt relief law, What you do not know about business related to getting out of debt will cost you. The question you must ask yourself is how much you are willing to pay for freedom. Simply the options are (1) paying everything by the usual way; (2) negotiating an amount less than what you owe by negotiation; (3) standardization. (4) debt payment plans. Finally, (5) bankruptcy.
Merging
Certainly, if you are struggling to pay off what you owe, then your chances will be in excess debt. Let’s take a look at the costs and benefits of each of these options. We will skip “paying it off the usual way” because if you do so, you will not read this article.
Debt negotiation
When we negotiate our debt, we ask the creditor to accept less than it owes. Suppose you owe $ 5,000.00 and convince the company to take $ 2,500.00 instead. You will pay them $ 2,500.00, and then you will get a tax invoice for the other half written off by the creditor on the 1099 tax form.
Merging
When you pay off all your debts and consolidate, you usually get a new loan. When rejecting a merger loan, you will need to look for other options. The new loan will pay off all other debts and make one payment for the agreed terms, plus interest. This is not a plan to reduce what you owe. The average annual percentage rate (APR) on this type of loan is about 18.56%. With this in mind, the average range of interest rates charged on consolidation loans usually ranges between 8.31% and 28.81%.
For a total debt of $ 30,000 with an average interest rate of 48.56%, the monthly payments will be approximate. $ 771.00 for 60 months and total repayment is $ 46 and $ 258.00, making this the most expensive way out.
Debt relief plans
Debt relief companies are everywhere today, marketing them to you to “speed up the history of debt forgiveness”, to get a payment plan that you can afford. Some of these companies have been prosecuted for violating telemarketing rules, pre-charging fees for assistance, and failing to inform you of your rights to the monthly deposited payments.
What you pay for here is for the company to take your monthly payment and negotiate a settlement of your debts for less than what you owe. This is the negotiation strategy with the payment plan. There will be a 1099 tax bill after settling these accounts, so be prepared for that as well.
Below you will stop and read the exact print that you found in the ad:
“Clients who make all of the program’s monthly deposits pay approximately 70-75% of their original debt recorded over 24 to 60 months. Not all clients can complete their program for various reasons, including their ability to provide sufficient funds. Our estimates are based on Previous results, which will vary depending on your registered creditors and your individual program terms, and we do not guarantee that your debts will be resolved by a certain amount, percentage, or during a specific time, or monthly payments to creditors, tax service provision, bankruptcy, legal advice, or repair Credit, the company does not provide served Debts are settled in all states, fees may vary from state to state, and in some states, we may refer you to a trusted business partner who can provide you with alternative debt relief services, please contact the tax technician to discuss possible tax consequences with less than the full debt settlement ION. Read and understand all program materials before registration. Using debt settlement services may negatively affect your creditworthiness, it may lead to you being exposed to groups or suing creditors or collectors and may increase the balances due to your recorded accounts due to the accumulation of fees and benefits. However, the negotiated settlements that we obtain on your behalf completely resolve the account, including all due fees and benefits. “
This means that your savings are 25% to 30% off your debts after you pay the company fees and the costs of maintaining this account for you. Meanwhile, they cannot prevent interest from accumulating, nor do they prevent creditors from escalating their efforts or even filing lawsuits. This may increase costs over time and still bankrupt you. So, you can probably save time and money by looking at the last option.
bankruptcy
There are two chapters of bankruptcy law that anyone may want to submit. Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is a liquidation case where you have no money to make the payment plan. The other is the bankruptcy case under Chapter 13, which is a 5-year payment plan issue. Let’s compare the bankruptcy payment plan with the plans listed above.
Let’s level the field until you have enough information to make an informed decision for yourself.
In fact, it is extremely difficult to determine the total cost of these debt relief plans because interest continues to grow while creating a company account to use to negotiate a discount. Worse still, the discount they will receive will likely be greater than what you would see due to compensation for the service fee.
In the event of bankruptcy, fees and costs are determined and included in the monthly payment. Against the same debt of $ 30,000, adding a trustee fee of 11%, an average law fee of $ 5,000, and even debiting by 30%, you will get a monthly payment of $ 470.00 per month for 60 months at a total cost of only $ 28,200.00 for the Chapter 13 issue.
Bankruptcy provides protection against creditors by invoking the “automatic stay” feature, which is an injunction preventing creditors from filing lawsuits against you or attempting to collect them while making your payments under Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Act. Other benefits include stopping interest from accumulating unsecured debts (i.e. credit cards), and there are no income tax consequences for debt disbursed in bankruptcy. Oh, and did you know that credit scores actually improve when you’re on a payment plan? They do. How much do you want to pay to speed up the date of the debt forgiveness and do you really understand the price you will pay?
