Avoid Bankruptcy by Using "Debt Settlement" Organizations

There are several paths you can take to try and avoid filing for bankruptcy. As stated for some bankruptcy is a very legitimate option when the situation and numbers make sense. However, before coming to that decision it's always a good idea to see if there may be another viable option. Here are some of the most frequent alternatives to filing bankruptcy:

  1. Debt Consolidation. You can use a debt consolidation loan by borrowing against the equity in your home to pay down your credit card debt. This option requires home equity and a careful consideration to make sure you are not putting yourself in a worse position. Not being able to pay your a loan against your home could put you in a worse position than not being able to pay your credit card debts (risking foreclosure). Some debt consolidation companies you can look into include:

    Countrywide Home Loans (Home Loan Refinancing)
    CreditandDebt.com
    Loan Web
    NextStudent (Student Loan Consolidation)

  2. Debt Counseling. Debt counseling services can be a good place to start in helping you deal with your credit situation. Such agencies can work with you to consolidate your monthly payments and help work with your creditors to obtain payment or interest reductions on your unsecured debts. The only problem with debt counseling is that many people are in such financial trouble that they will not qualify for debt counseling because they will not be able to repay their debt even under the better terms. Try to proactively see if this may be an option for you. Some debt counseling companies you can look into include:

    3. Home Assure Foreclosure Help (Foreclosure Prevention)
    Veracity Credit Optimization (Credit & Debt Consultation)

  3. Debt Settlement (Out of Court). Another possible alternative to bankruptcy is to consider settling your unsecured debt at a reduced amount. It is harder for an individual to do this alone, but there are companies that will help you negotiate with your creditors. Some have found better results when going through a professional company in this regard. As in all these actions there can be a negative effect on one's credit rating. Some debt settlement companies you can look into include:
