Debt settlement programs are most commonly used by people who are struggling to make their monthly payments due to financial hardship. When a customer enrolls with a debt settlement company, they begin making affordable monthly deposits, into a special savings account that is used to negotiate with creditors to lower the amount paid below what is owed. This approach can negatively affect credit scores. So we usually recommend the debt settlement option as an alternative to bankruptcy for those who already have bad credit and are willing to let their credit suffer in the short term in order to get out of debt fast. Credit Associates is transparent about this process in the FAQ section of their website.
