What Is Debt Settlement?

It can be frustrating and frightening when making regular payments or paying off debt in full is not financially possible due to various life circumstances. Whatever the reason, there may be options that fit your current budget. Debt settlement is the process of negotiating with a creditor or debt collector, who represents the original creditor, so that you can resolve your debt by paying a reduced amount. Please browse our Debt Settlement FAQs to learn about the pros and cons associated with debt negotiation and settlement. Oxygen XL’s professional and friendly representatives are ready to assist you with making an informed decision.

Debt Negotiation & Settlement – What You Need To Know

  • Should I settle my debt or pay the full amount? 

According to Experian, it is best to pay off the full amount of debt owed rather than settling on a lesser amount. However, in difficult financial circumstances paying in full may not be an option. Negotiating and settling your debt is an alternative that will not be as damaging to your credit as ignoring the debt and not paying.

  • Should I work with a debt settlement company?

It’s important to consider all your options before contacting a debt settlement company, also known as “debt relief” or “debt adjusting” companies. These types of services are often expensive, and, in many situations, you can achieve the same results by working with the creditor or debt collector directly.

  • How to negotiate with a creditor to reduce the amount you owe?

Once you determine that paying a reduced amount is the best option for your situation, contact the creditor or debt collector directly to see if there is an opportunity for you to pay a lesser amount. The creditor or debt collector may be willing to accept less money to get the debt off their books. This can be an alternative to more extreme options such as filing for bankruptcy.

  • How to avoid debt settlement scams?

Sadly, there are many scams that target people who are searching for debt relief options. Some companies will make promises regarding debt settlement that cannot be guaranteed. Be wary of companies that charge you for their services before they attempt to settle your debt. Legitimate debt settlement firms should openly disclose their fees, offer guidance on how much money you should plan to save for the settlement, provide a process timeline, and outline the risks associated with not making payments on your past due debt.
