Overall Rating: 4.9 / 5 (Excellent)

National Debt Relief is a provider of debt settlement programs that have helped thousands of families get out from under the burden of excessive debt.

To date the company has settled over $1 billion and can work with clients who have anywhere between $7,500 and $100,000 in unsecured debt.

Though National Debt Relief has a great reputation among its clients, it must be noted that debt settlement is not right for everyone, and it is a credit to the company that they are 100% transparent about what clients can expect and the risks involved.

When you enter into a debt settlement program you essentially stop paying your creditors until the debt settlement agency can negotiate with them for a lower overall balance.

This means your credit score will most likely be negatively affected.

Also, some creditors will not agree to negotiate.

In light of this, debt settlement with National Debt Relief is an ideal option for those who already have bad credit, or those who are willing to take a short term credit hit in order to get out from under the load of massive debt quickly.

It is a less drastic and more attractive option to bankruptcy.

Qualification

Qualification - 5 / 5

The biggest qualification with National Debt Relief is the ability to make monthly payments into the 3rd party settlement fund.

In many cases, this amount will be lower than the current payments to creditors. Customers must owe more than $7,500 and be sufficiently behind in payments as to incentivize creditors to negotiate, usually several months.

Finally, customers must be going through a financial crisis with no quick end in sight. This could be due to a recent job loss or reduction in hours, a separation or divorce which caused a reduction in income, death of a spouse, unexpected medical or hospital bills, student loans, or IRS taxes to name a few.

This is so National Debt Relief can prove financial hardship and show creditors you qualify for debt settlement.
