Debt settlement

Most people choose debt settlement so that they can start to save money in lieu of sending it off to creditors each month. It starts with your debt professional contacting all of your creditors and informing them that you would like to settle. They then negotiate for the lowest final balance which generally ends up being about 40-60% of the original balance. Although it is a huge savings, the fact that you found debt reduction through settlement will negatively effect your credit report for years to come. Advantage is that you rid yourself of debt and creditors all at once and can start saving for other things.

Debt consolidation

This choice offers debt reduction by simplifying your bills, which are all lumped together into one sum that is then dealt with. Since most of us have numerous creditors that we are struggling to pay each month, this is a great option for most. After the debt is lumped together you then have the option of taking out a loan to cover all of the debts. That means no more creditors calling as they will have all been paid and you will only have to worry about one monthly payments. Your debt reduction will be faster because you will be paying far less interest on the new loan.
