🔎 Debt Settlement vs. Debt Consolidation
It’s easy to confuse the two — but they are not the same.
- ✅ Debt Settlement: A creditor agrees to accept less than the full amount to consider your debt “paid in full.”
- ❌ Debt Consolidation: True consolidation requires a new loan to pay off old debts. But most so-called “consolidation companies” aren’t lenders at all.
⚠️ Here’s the catch: many “consolidation” companies actually provide debt settlement but disguise it as consolidation — but with hefty fees, long delays, and zero accountability. While you think you’re paying creditors, your payments often go toward the company’s fee. In the meantime:
- ⏳ Months or years may pass with no progress.
- 💔 Your credit score tanks even further.
- 📜 You may even face lawsuits you never saw coming.
At A Fresh Start Law, we’re upfront: we negotiate directly with creditors, and you don’t deposit settlement funds until an actual agreement is in place.
⚙️ How Debt Settlement Works
Debt settlement succeeds because collecting from someone who doesn’t voluntarily pay is costly for creditors. A skilled negotiator (like Attorney Dorothy Bunce) can often:
- 💰 Negotiate lower payoff amounts
- ⏱️ Arrange affordable payment timelines
- ✨ Eliminate creditor harassment
👉 It’s a good fit if you can pay something toward your debts but need relief from impossible balances.
❓ Can All Debts Be Settled?
Not every creditor will agree. No judge can force a settlement. That’s why:
- ⚖️ Debt settlement involves some risk.
- 🤝 We help clients limit that risk by keeping fees modest and results-based.
- 🏦 You don’t deposit funds with us until a deal is struck (unless you want us to hold them).
🤔 Is Debt Settlement a Good Idea?
It depends on your goals and circumstances. Debt settlement can be powerful, but it’s not for everyone.
👍 Advantages:
- 📵 Stops creditor harassment
- 🚫 Avoids bankruptcy
- 💳 Reduces what you owe
- 🔒 Keeps financial info private
- 🏡 Doesn’t touch your property
👎 Disadvantages:
- ❌ Some creditors may refuse
- 📈 Fees & interest can grow if settlement drags
- ⚠️ Your credit score may take a hit
That’s why an experienced debt settlement lawyer is crucial. We’ll analyze your situation, set realistic expectations, and tell you honestly if a settlement isn’t a fit.
