I owe $200,000 in unsecured debt. My company closed and now I only make $60,000 per year. Is there any hope for me or do I have to file BK? I could probably borrow $30-40,000 from family if the lenders would settle this low. Any advice?


The creditors usually agree to bring down your debt to 25 to 30% of the outstanding amount under debt settlement, depending on how you negotiate with them. So you can expect to bring down your debt to somewhere around $50K. I don't think they would agree to settle your debts below that. However, if you cannot pay off the debt, you may consider filing bankruptcy.

I would talk to a Debt Settlement Lawyer, not a firm, who can pursue debt settlement and advise you whether you might qualify under Chapter 7 if it becomes necessary.

Seems to me that 25-30% of current debt is ambitious but could be doable I guess if they feel you can do BK if they don't settle with you

Just my 2c
