How does Debt Relief Advocacy settle my debt?
In our initial consultation we will analyze your situation and determine a monthly payment that you can afford. Each individual’s situation is different depending on your debt and abilities.
What will the impact be on my credit?
Your credit score will probably drop when you begin the debt settlement program. Most of the accounts you place in negotiation are likely to “charge off” your debt, which will reflect negatively on your credit score. However, when the debt is settled, your credit score is likely to improve.
How can I improve my credit?
Your credit report is a reflection of your financial behavior, and it is an important tool used when you apply for a loan, a credit card, and insurance. It is even used by some employers in their hiring process. The report illustrates a history of how you pay your bills. If you have a bad credit history, you can repair it. Here are few tips to clean your credit:
Understand the Fair Credit Reporting Act: This Act gives you the right to see what is in your credit report. If you find any inaccuracies, they will be investigated, and the reporting agencies will correct them. If you find something wrong in your report, you can present your case to the agency in a 100-word statement.
