How Debt Settlement Works in Washington State
As with bankruptcy, the goal of debt settlement is to obtain forgiveness for a portion of your debt. Essentially, you are asking your creditors to accept a lump sum that is smaller than what you owe.
Your creditors will consider settling if they believe your only other option is to file bankruptcy. When you file bankruptcy, your creditors will have less control over the result of the process, and they will most likely receive less than what they would have if they had agreed to settle.
Negotiating a debt settlement, however, takes years of experience. At Henry & DeGraaff, we have helped countless consumers significantly improve their financial situations through creditor negotiation. We are fully prepared to put these skills to work for you.
Let Us Find the Right Solution for Your Situation
Debt settlement is not without its disadvantages. It may harm your credit, and you might need to pay taxes on any forgiven debt. At Henry & DeGraaff, our goal is to thoroughly assess your situation so we can determine which option will help you build strong financial foundations and achieve the security you need. If we believe debt settlement is not in your best interests, we may recommend personal bankruptcy.
