The moment you identify a potential problem with your finances you should act immediately. It is important to become aware of all of your alternatives while you are most likely to have them available to you.
Most of our clients are people with good credit that life threw a curveball to. Our top priority is helping them find a solution that will preserve the good credit they have worked so hard for.
After your review via our "I have good credit. What do I do?" service, if the option to preserve your credit isn't plausible, we will help you identify your solution and explain in detail the pro's and con's that are associated with it.
I like your solution. Can you help me make it happen?
Whether your solution is a reduction in interest rates, creating payment plans, obtaining the cooperation from your creditors for deferments, or the exit strategy of debt settlement. We have your do-it-yourself needs covered. We can teach you step-by-step on how to gain the cooperation that you need. Please refer to our services page for more information.
Tell me about your money back guarantee...
If for any reason, at the conclusion of your appointment, you feel that you didn't gain any value or are otherwise not satisfied, we will refund 100% of our fee.
What if I want to settle all my debts at once?
This is our specialty. When we did offer a Debt Settlement service this was the only way we would do it. The majority of our Lump Sum clients obtained their funds to settle through their family, 401k, IRA, or equity in assets.
How do I acquire funds from my 401k or IRA?
You don't want to access your 401k or IRA until the negotiations are complete. You want to coordinate the due dates for your settlements accordingly. We advocate borrowing from your 401k or IRA. Borrowing just makes more sense. If you borrow, you don't subject yourself to penalties or taxes. In addition, you pay your 401k or IRA back with interest. When you cash out, you may be liable for taxes and penalties. You will also sacrifice the amount you cash out from your retirement. Cashing out is a decision not to be taken lightly.
