If you are unable to pay off your unsecured debts, then the debt settlement companies will negotiate with your creditors or Collection Agencies to reduce the amount of your debt. The debt settlement company may reduce 40 to 60 percent of debt that you owe to the creditors and the rest of the amount is forgiven. The creditors may accept for debt negotiation or debt settlement on certain individual situations like, you have lost your job, medical emergency or if bankruptcy seems the last option to you. The debt counselor will review your situation to judge whether debt negotiation is possible in your situation or not. The counselor will also prepare a realistic budget for you so that you have an easy cash flow to pay your debt.
