Effective Debt Settlement Strategies in Michigan

When you settle your debts, you and your creditors come to an agreement where you repay less than what you owe. Many unsecured debts can be settled with a creditor. However, secured debts are ineligible for debt settlement as creditors can choose to seize assets instead.

Some common debts that can be reduced under debt settlement include:

  • Credit card charges
  • Medical bills
  • Personal loans
  • Payday loans
  • Private student loans

Debt settlement is one possible way of negotiating your debts. You can also negotiate for reduced interest rates and lowered monthly payments.

Many people may not understand why a creditor would ever agree to a debt settlement or negotiation. However, for many creditors, debt settlement is preferable to the debtor filing for bankruptcy. In a bankruptcy, the creditor may not be able to obtain repayment for their loans.

Explore Debt Consolidation Options in Sterling Heights

Debt consolidation is another method of achieving debt relief. When you consolidate your debts, you create one large loan to pay off your smaller debts. This singular loan often has better payment terms than the individual smaller debts and loans, and any penalties or late fees can be greatly reduced. Additionally, debtors may find it easier to keep track of only one payment each month.

Bankruptcy: A Path to Debt Freedom in Warren, MI

Most people who file for bankruptcy do so under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your non-exempt assets will be cataloged and sold to pay off your creditors. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy will allow you to restructure your payment plans to creditors.

Key Benefits of Filing for Bankruptcy:

  • You will no longer be harassed by creditors, debt collection companies or lenders
  • The risk of losing your personal property through repossession will be eliminated
  • Any foreclosure actions will be stopped
  • You can rebuild your credit
  • The stress of unpaid bills will disappear

  • Mr. Hensel walked me through every step.

Mr. Hensel walked me through every step, got my garnishments stopped very quickly (even got garnished wages returned to me!) and told me what to expect along the way. He answered all of my questions in a very timely manner- no matter what time I sent an email or gave him a phone call. Also, I felt his price was very reasonable compared to some of the other places that I called. Mr. Hensel answered plenty of questions that I had before I even became a client.”
