Is Debt Settlement a government program?
No. In fact, there are no government programs for personal unsecured debt relief and if any company tells you otherwise, it should be a red flag.
I heard I may have to pay taxes on the money I save. Is that true?
Yes. When you settle a debt you are receiving a great benefit by paying less than you owe. It is important to know that creditors will generally report any savings in excess of $600 to the IRS. You should contact a tax professional to find out your options. You may be able to file for insolvency in which case would exempt you from paying those taxes.
How long will it take to settle my debt?
Program terms are set for 1-4 years. During that time each account you’ve enrolled will settle periodically. Most of our clients see their 1st settlement within 60-90 days.
Will I be completely debt free at the end of my program?
We will be strictly focused on helping with the unsecured debts that are included into your program. This will not include any secured debts (i.e. Home Mortgage, auto loans, collateral loans, etc). Although not everyone completes their program, it is important to adhere to the monthly set aside payment plan to give yourself the best chance at success.
