Free Debt Advice - assistance for debt problem



Debt advice is extremely essential during times of financial distress. You need debt advice when your debts seem to get out of control. Generally, you start to look for debt help when you find that your monthly debt payments are getting too large to handle comfortably. Do not delay. It is unwise to get debt help until your monthly payments are completely unmanageable and credit companies are harassing you constantly. The best time to get professional debt advice is before your debt gets completely out of control.

While you seek debt advice, you will have several choices available:

  • Understanding your alternatives is the first important step you need to take.
  • During debt crisis if you decide to enroll with a debt consolidation company you will get professional debt advice and counseling. Most of these companies give you these services for absolutely free of cost.
  • You may also enroll with a Debt Management Company. DMP or Debt Management Plans are very effective to free you from the tangles of debt. While these companies charge you money for their services, they are professionals at getting people out of debt. People undergoing financial problems feel comfortable seeking advice from those who have plenty of experience with credit and debt solutions.
  • On choosing a Debt Settlement Company or a Credit Counseling firm you get professional and free debt advice. These professional firms take up the responsibility of clearing your debts. They help you with clear strategies and effective advice to get rid of your debts. You can also get assistance from a debt counselor over the phone for 24 hours if necessary.
  • The debt consultants of these companies talk with your creditors and get them to eliminate late fees and other added-on fees. In most cases, this allows you with more time to make payments to your creditors. It also helps you find a way to consolidate your loans so that you only need to make one affordable payment a month.
  • The professional companies also have live chat programs and render you with professional debt advice.
  • Credit Counselors contact all your creditors, and work out a payment arrangement with each one of them, based on what you can afford to pay.
  • You make one payment per month to the credit companies and they in turn pay back all your bills.
  • You can also seek advice and help from a community who work towards making you debt free. In order to get relevant assistance and advice you have to ideally join a forum and be an active participant there.
  • During your debt burdened days do some useful reading. You can gather useful advice from newsletters, press releases and other important news clips. These pieces of general advice often turn out to be of great help and assist you to be updated on the recent debt proceedings across the country.

We are going to default on two B of A credit cards and one FIA credit card that B of A owns. Jan. 2010 will be the first missed payments. I would like to know if each card is handled separately by the bank when trying to collect; how long it takes to get a settlement offer, what can I expect in the way of phone calls. Debt is 42k. Cards have been closed for months. Long history with B of A, all good.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I defaulted on 2 and they were eventually combined. I am now close to 180 days out. First offer came this week for 30%. They would call every 2 weeks or so. I have found them to be the easiest to deal with. Two business cards with them were also combined and settled for 20%..

Clarification. All accounts will be given to 1 rep but settlements handled separately. In my case 1 person handling both cards.
