Debt Counselors - Negotiate Repayment Terms, Eliminate Creditor Liability

By Gary Pearson

Are you tired of hearing the phone ringing off the hook because debt collectors are continuously calling? For those individuals that feel that they are buried under an impossible degree of debt, it may be time to consult a debt counselor. Debt counselors are individuals that can help you get your debt under control, as well as help you establish a reasonable budget so that you can successfully avoid issues with severe debt in the future.

Unless you have major, irreversible debt there is no reason why a debt counselor won't be able to help you recover without filing for bankruptcy or taking out a high interest loan. In each case your credit may be affected and you may have to part with personal property such as a house or other assets.

Secondly, although many people apply for and obtain a consolidation loans to successfully payoff their creditors, the truth of the matter is that the debt still exists and that the spending habits that got the individual into debt in the first place are not addressed.

Subsequently, even after getting a consolidation loan the individual remains in debt and further, places the their self in financial jeopardy: consolidation loans often require that the individual receiving the loan have some kind of asset to be used as collateral to be confiscated by the lender if the borrower defaults on loan payments.

In contrast, contacting a professional in debt counseling will allow you to work in conjunction with the counselor to create a reasonable repayment plan. Further, once a repayment plan has been enacted, the debt counseling service will assist you in creating a reasonable budget. Thus, over time you'll be able to pay off creditors, stop those nagging phone calls, and establish a budget that will keep you out of financial trouble in the future.
