Just In Time Lending

In today’s worsening economy many individuals are losing their jobs and building an increasingly escalating pile of debt. Since credit card interest rates have increased, it is more and more difficult for individuals to get out of debt.
To avoid declaring bankruptcy many people are opting to negotiate a debt settlement with their creditors. There are various debt settlement companies that help individuals with the negotiating process, but they always charge a fee which in turn adds more debt to the individual’s pile. Because of the fee many people opt to negotiate with their creditors directly. The negotiation process should begin with a credit card debt settlement letter sent by the individual to the creditors. This article gives tips on how to write a proper settlement letter.
Hector Milla Editor of the “Credit Card Debt Free” website — http://www. CreditCardDebtFree. org — pointed out;
“…The first paragraph of the settlement letter should outline the individual’s predicament and request the creditor work with the individual to help settle the debt. This section should outline what situations led to the need to rely on credit and how altering either the principal owed or interest rate will benefit both then creditor and the debtor. The debtor and author of the letter should be sure to not be too specific which could make them seem frivolous…”
After the opening paragraph, the next paragraph of the settlement letter should outline exactly what the debtor is proposing. This section should detail what the current outstanding balance is, what the debtor wants the balance dropped to, and what the interest rate should be changed to. The debtor should also outline how much they want their monthly payment to be and how long they expect it to be until the balance is paid off. It’s important that the debtor find a middle ground and not be too greedy with their demands because the creditor is unlikely to settle if it is not beneficial for them to settle the debt.
“…After outlining the proposed terms of the settlement, the following paragraph should discuss how the debtor would not be able to pay off the outstanding debt without a credit card settlement put in place. The debtor should explain they have other debts outstanding and they will only be able to pay off those debts which are renegotiated…” H. Milla added.
The letter should conclude with a request for the creditor to accept the terms and a promise that the debtor will make all payments outlined above.
