Debt Collection Practices and What The law Allows

Back


Morgan Drexen provides access to debt settlement through integrated law firms who provide legal representation and negotiates with the creditors to settle consumer debt for a lower amount than what is owed. After the debt is settled, the creditor will send a letter stating the debt obligation was fulfilled, and will report to the credit bureaus that the debt has been, Settled for less than full amount, Paid or Settled. Creditors will usually settle for less than owed when the debtor is under serious financial strain because if the debtor chooses to file bankruptcy, then the creditor gets nothing. Creditors want to get as much money back as they can. Debt Settlement is a way to get out of debt in the shortest amount of time, and with the least amount of money without filing for bankruptcy. There are some drawbacks though. The IRS considers a forgiven debt as taxable income, so at the end of the year, they will expect taxes to be paid on the settlement. The IRS, however, has a form (#982) available for special hardships. Your attorney will advise you in this matter. Debt Settlement can also be harmful to a debtors credit-rating while they are in the process of settling their debts because creditors wont agree to settle on an account that remains current. The debtors credit report will reflect that they are behind in payments until the debts are settled. To find out more about Debt Negotiation, click here or call 800-868-1458
