Market Highlights: The loan scheme is also known as debt reduction, debt negotiation, or debt resolution. Settlements are negotiated with the debtor's unsecured creditors. Generally, creditors agree to extend a large portion of the loan, perhaps around half, although results can vary widely. When the settlements are finalized, the terms will be put in writing. It is customary for the debtor to make a lump sum payment in exchange for the obligee to agree that the debt is now canceled and the matter closed. Some bills are paid over several months. In either case, the former debtor's credit report will not show any outstanding debt as long as the debtor does what was agreed in the negotiations. The settlement is successful when the creditor agrees to allocate a percentage of the total account balance. Usually, only unsecured debts that are not secured by real assets such as houses or cars can be settled. The various unsecured debts include medical bills and credit card debt, but not public student loans, car finance, or mortgages. Obviously, for the debtor, the comparison makes sense: you avoid the stigma and intrusive judicial bankruptcy controls while lowering your debt balances, sometimes by more than 50%. For the creditor, they regain confidence that the borrower intends to repay what he can and not file for bankruptcy (in which case the creditor risks losing all sums owed).
