Dardar,
You should opt for a settlement program only if you are unable to make the minimum payments of under any professional help. This is the last resort before filing bankruptcy. If you have a large amount of debt that is too hard to bear, you can choose this option
But before you take on this program, it is important for you to know its negative consequences. debt settlement is a negative remark that will stay in your file for a period of seven years. The lenders will get an idea that due to some financial difficulties, you have been unable to pay the owed balance and therefore, had to accept a reduced amount.
Settlement program ruins the credit potential because lenders become unwilling to extend any credit to such individuals.
If you can afford to make the payments of the consolidation program, you still have a solution to repair your bad credit. Take a free counseling from a professional consultant and discuss your financial problems.
Consolidation program has been beneficial in terms of improving the credit and regain the financial worthiness.
