Hector Milla asked:
Bad credit affects each person’s debt consolidation options. Nevertheless, bad credit does not prevent receiving the greatest benefits available. The best ways to achieve the greatest savings do require careful consideration of available options.
As a first defense, many debtors consider combining credit card accounts using the proceeds of a new loan. Loans can effectively lower interest rates and reduce monthly payments. However, all applicants who have bad credit find qualification for desirable interest rates difficult. Poor credit and no credit lenders tend to demand both substantial collateral and charge premium rates. Homeowners who built substantial equity with years of mortgage payments receive the lowest rates. Applicants who seek unsecured loans with poor credit receive the highest rate quotes. In the later case, savings may be minimal if receiving approval.
Debt consolidation plans that combine existing credit card accounts for a single monthly payment do not require good credit. Frequently, these types of programs are known as settlement plans. The basis for payment reductions available through settlement plans is the aggressive negotiation and compromise of amounts owed by agreements reached with each creditor. These plans do not include new credit. Repayment terms for existing credit are adjusted once combined into a plan. As a result, qualification for new credit is not required.
The administrator of a settlement plan begins by evaluating each client’s monthly cash flow. The amount of cash available each month is compared to basic living expenses and the amount of debt service required. In many situations that involve bad credit and sever financial strain, payment of existing debts is not possible. In these situations, administrators attempt to negotiate the partial repayment of debts with each creditor.
To settle credit card accounts successfully, documentation of the unique financial condition of each client is necessary. Creditors must verify a debtor’s inability to pay debts before agreeing to reduce interest, waive late fees or voluntarily charge-off a substantial portion of the principal owed. The best settlements are the result of a plan administrator working cooperatively with a debtor to pursue deep principal reductions.
A debtor’s credit rating and FICO score are relatively unimportant for qualification for a settlement plan. The savings realized by participants in settlement plans is usually far greater than relying on a new loan. In addition, know that paying less than the full balance of all principal owed will appear on future credit reports. Initially, credit scores may drop. Over time, a history of timely payments and the elimination of credit card accounts should increase credit scores significantly.
