How badly will debt settlement affect my credit score and future lending abilities?


Dear Ajrayman,

Debt Settlement5 will hit your credit score badly and it may tumble down by 250 points. Thus, always keep in mind that settlement can only be used as a means to avoid bankruptcy. Hence, I always prefer ???????Do it yourself??????? debt settlement.

After debt settlement your credit report will look poor and will create difficulty for you to qualify for new loan / credit in the near future. But your scoring will improve with the passage of time and with your repayment. As you payoff your debt, your Debt-Income ratio will decrease and consequently your credit score will improve. This will better your chance to qualify for loan or credit.

Well, the settlement may take a toll to your credit report, but it'll still look better than the delinquent accounts. I believe that with the default accounts, your credit will look no better. Beside, you can always rebuild your credit by practicing financial discipline.

As an alternative to debt settlement, you can try out with the debt management program.

Dear Ajrayman,

Actually, debt settlement is a program to avoid bankruptcy. Which program you will choose will depend upon the kind of debt situation you are in.

Ya, Tweetyturner has quite correctly said that debt management can solve your problem. In this program a credit counseling firm helps you professionally to manage your debts more effectively by reducing your interest rate and waiving off the late payment penalties.

Before going for any specific program, you can get Free Consultation from our community????????s financial expert.
