No More Mortgage on Debt Settlement

No More Mortgage wants to help you get the information on debt settlement you need to make the best decisions for your financial future.

There is a lot of confusion over debt settlement and the benefits vs costs. In debt settlement the company you contract with will negotiate with your creditors to settle the debt for less than is owed. While this results in savings on the debt, it doesn't come without a few important costs.

Naturally you have a program fee, which is usually a percentage of the debt to be settled or the savings you will receive. You will take a hit to your credit score for each debt settled which will have a negative impact on your credit for at least 2 years, and then should diminish over time. And you will experience higher interest rates on future credit needs, which will cost you more than it would have if you had not gone through debt settlement. The higher costs on future credit needs could cost you far more than you saved in settlement, especially if you are getting a mortgage. That's assuming you can qualify for future credit over the next few years or more.

The positive of debt settlement is that settling the debts may keep you out of bankruptcy or from losing everything you own while buying the time you need to recover. Debt Settlement could be the way to get back on your feet financially after job loss or a drastic change to your income. As with anything else, you have to weigh the benefits and the consequences and look at what is really best for you.
