Debt management, by the standard financial definition, involves a designated third party assisting a debtor with repayment of his or her debt. Many companies specializing in credit counseling offer debt management plans to help people with heavy debt and damaged credit get their financial situation under control. A simpler definition of debt management could be the routine practice of spending less than one earns. However, for all intents and purposes, debt management is a structured repayment plan set up by a designated third party, either as a result of a court order or as a result of personal initiation.

Debt settlement is a completely legal, logical, and ethical way to get out of debt as old as the concept of debt itself. The incentive for your creditors to settle a debt becomes clear once there is a possibility that they may collect nothing on the debt if you were left with no choice but to file for bankruptcy protection. Your incentive to settle is to avoid bankruptcy and to ethically discharge your debts. Once you are on the “debt treadmill” it becomes more and more difficult to step off. Eventually your minimum monthly payments will likely be going almost entirely towards interest. At this rate, you would finally pay the account off in about 30 years having spent ten times or more what you initially borrowed. We understand your predicament and the credit card companies have been counting on and profiting from it for years. Debt settlement can end the 30 year cycle and cut it down to 3 years or less.
Debt Relief specializes in debt settlement, also known as debt negotiation, a process aimed at getting creditors to agree to a lump sum pay off for a reduced amount in full settlement of a debt. In other words, Debt Relief negotiates with a creditor and assuming a creditor agrees to sufficiently lower the amount that a consumer owes, we settle it with a lump sum payment. In turn the creditor agrees to report to the credit bureaus that the consumer no longer owes them anything. As an example, a client who owes $10,000 may pay as little as $4,000-$6,000 to settle the debt. When you consider the fact that someone barely making the minimum payment can pay as much as twice their balance on interest charges alone, the savings are even more astronomical.
